Can you tell me what machine did he used?
I only know that he used a CO2 laser.
Thank you I know it can be aCO2 laser but I wanted to know what type of machine for example, Luminous or Sciton machine because CO2 laser are different from machine to machine and give different results. Thank you.
You know more than me! I called their office and was told the machine was a Deka Fractional Co2. Hope this helps!
Thank you, may be the PRP gave you a better result, I went to a very good PS in Park Ave. NY City paid $3,500 for Contour TRL and it did nothing except improve a little bit my skin texture, I had a good skin to start. I regret I spend so much for nothing. I am happy for you, you are lucky that yours worked. Enjoy it!
Very beautiful results can tell me the exact name of the laser ? I had one done recently I did not get your results
What is prp please?
Platelet Rich Plasma
Co2 laser is an aggressive procedure. If you 'have good skin to start', it is not for you.
ORIGINAL POST

The last time I received CO2 Laser, Dr. Stoker...

The last time I received CO2 Laser, Dr. Stoker used a high setting. The recovery time was two weeks for me. It shaved 10 years off my face. I was ecstatic! I had a wedding to attend in 6 days, so I wanted something less invasive, a quick, fresh look. Who doesn't want to shave another year off their face?

I explained my dilemma and my time constraints. Dr. Stoker knew just what to do. He added a PRP treatment to help accelerate the healing process. A PRP facial, so to say. Laser treatment went exceedingly well (a little discomfort). Minimal swelling by day three. By day four, my skin tone evened out and swelling disappeared.

Day Six: my face looked fresh and renewed. The small lines around my eyes and lips were completely smooth and it erased my frown lines. It was better than I expected! All my friends were googling Dr. Stoker, they couldn't believe it, I looked that much younger. I know some believe the PRP treatment isn't worth it, however, the PRP treatment did assist in my quick recovery.

Bottom line, get the deep laser treatment, then every year go back for a quick tune up!
