Sciton Laser Resurfacing to the Perioral and Glabella Areas - Middleton, WI

At 61, this procedure was done when I had blephroplasty and soof lift surgery so I was sedated. The discomfort afterwards was minimal even though it was done fairly deep. After a week the weeping had mostly ceased and by 2 weeks I could apply makeup. The healing was uneventful and I had instructional care sheets to refer to. If there had been an issue I could have called or emailed to get looked at or additional suggested care. It did take 6 months to see the results which really did help the lines and wrinkles that were targeted.

As I stated before it took 6 full months to really see the results. I had expected this from all I had read on RealSelf. I can say that it seemed like all at once you saw a difference. I had the perioral, mouth, area done and the gabella, between the eyes.

I am very light skinned, Irish/Dutch, so I did have redness for several months and was challenged to get it covered evenly as, if I used a regular foundation, it stuck in my pores and looked bad. I finally came up with a routine. Jane Iredale cover up, then a blotting powder, Laura Geller was my fav but Neutorgena makes a fair one and a lot less expensive. It is clear, not translucent and is great for mature skin as it conceals creases and pores, doesn't settle in them. You need to blot it on, don't rub it in as most powders.

I still have a little wrinkling in those areas yet so will be having Dr Marcus touch up those areas again in early January. Yes, just as deep to really be effective but probably not as wide an area. Hopefully it will not be quite as challenging to cover, but if it is I know what to do, again.

I have a friend that had sun damaged crepey skin. She had Dr Marcus also. After her first treatment it was as if a mask had been removed form her face. It was smooth and clear! She did still have some deep wrinkles around the eyes and mouth and had a couple more treatments that really did address them a lot.

Dr Marcus has done a lot of treatments with the laser and is well versed in what needs to be done to get the outcome you want. I highly recommend him.

I will be having Dr. Marcus do the proceedures again as I was very happy with him personally and the outcome I had. I am going to have more laser done to the glabella area, and marionette lines, plus the forehead this time. The rest of the perioral area looks pretty good except for that one pesty lip line, which is better, but, still there. I am going to get more fat grafting done also. Forehead, temples, glabella, cheeks, under eyes, maybe under the eyebrow just a bit,around the mouth, and buccual areas. I had some done last time and it has helped. I just need a bit more now that a year has passed since that last time it was done. I will take pics again to journal the events and healing. Kinda fun to look at them later. I had upper and lower bleph surgery last time also and they do look really nice. I enjoyed the residual swelling for about 6 months there, but after that was gone, I could tell I would need a bit of fill there. So I will be here updating on the outcome. Thanks for reading.
