Mixto Laser Results, 65 Yrs - Nashville, TN

I have attached some photos from having the Mixto Laser procedure done on June 12th. I wasn';t ready for the pain. Even though I had numbing crème on my face & taken valium, it was still very painful. Once the procedure was completed, It was like having a very bad sunburn for several days. I had my schedule set up in such a way that I was off for a complete week, which I needed because I was not ready to go out in public. In the beginning my skin was so tight I thought if I smiled it would crack. I had severe lines above my lip from using a straw all these years which I do not do anymore! For several years now I had thought about doing or needing a face lift & I opted for this. Up until a week ago I thought OMG what have I done, face very red, & laser lines every where, I saw my Dr on July 17th & expressed my frustration. She gets it & understands. I own a business & see the public on a daily basis & was very concerned about my appearance. I have worn more makeup then I ever have trying to cover up the red. I finally found a make up by IT which is for redness & rosacea so this is what I've been using & it works but not all day, by the end of the day I could see the red & lines coming through.
Anyway my Dr. put me on a regiment of Hydroquinone, Retina A, & Clobestral. After a week what an improvement! Now I will say the Retina A which is a liquid, my skin is not tolerating it but the other two no issues. I also found a better make up a lot less expensive by L'Oreal, it's a BB cream for redness & the color adjusts to your skin, it does the job! You can get it at Walmart for $7.96, Walgreens carries it also but double the price. I see a marked improvement in lines around the mouth, hardly no crepeiness in eyelids or below the eyes. Less wrinkles on forehead & around the corner of the eyes. So right now today as I see my face getting better, I'm happy & know that it will continue getting better. So all I can say is that it does take time. I think we're such a now society that we want everything immediate & I'm no exception, but I have realized that with time, the healing will continue.

I have uploaded a couple of new pics that I have taken over the last couple of days. Every day my face & neck just keep looking better. So I am excited as the results appear. I'm excited to see what the next few months will bring. My understanding with Mixto is that it just keeps improving & results keep getting better!
