Finally seeing benefits
Update- After 2 months of freaking out I turned a corner at 9 weeks and my skin finally, surprisingly looks pretty great!
Pros-
my skin has a glow
The tightening is starting to show and is quite significant, especially around eyes. Jawline is starting to firm up a bit too.
I have no wrinkles now, they have all actually disappeared!
Cons-
I still have the red marks, they have faded a fair bit but a few are quite prominent still. I can mostly cover them with make up now, hopefully in time they will disappear.
My pores have enlarged, they seem massive in places and are getting blocked and creating black dots… I had very fine pores before. This is a strange and slightly bothersome side effect, not sure if this is a permanent skin structure change or will bounce back in time.
For me, public downtime has been legit 2 months, which is incredibly worrying when you expect a few weeks and have to cancel many events.
I have changed my review to not sure from not worth it, as eventually this treatment has done some of the things it was supposed to do very well, but the other side effects and cons are not to be taken lightly either.
If you do this treatment just research heavily first and prepare yourself for something much more invasive than is touted online.

Don't do it!!!
I am now 5 weeks out. I still have deep red marks all over my face, especially around my eyes that don't seem to be fading. What's more concerning is the skin around my eyes feels and looks weirdly tight, like it has been burned by an iron. I am hoping things will reverse and heal in time. Right now I feel my face is ruined.
If a miracle happens and the results end up being good in time I would still say find another treatment, the downtime and damage are just not worth it. I am now cancelling events when I believed at 5 weeks I should be looking amazing. When I smile my face doesn't even look like me, I guess the tightening is pulling things in a weird direction. Every minute of every day I regret not running out of that place and escaping this horror.

So Much Redness and Downtime
I am going to give this a bit more time before I say not worth it, but at the moment I would have to say a definite no. I had a high energy one pass treatment. I was told this treatment was basically no risk and not much downtime, unlike traditional co2 lasers. I was not at all prepared for what I experienced following the treatment. The treatment itself was very painful, even with the anesthetic.
After the treatment I could see my face swell before my eyes and it was beetroot red. Over the next days my bright red face swelled beyond recognition, my eyes were swollen almost closed so I couldn’t even look at the computer screen or my phone. On day two some of the skin started splitting, which was very concerning as I didn’t think it was at all ready to peel. The underneath skin red raw and blistering. I applied antibiotic lotion to this which caused a reaction on the new skin and this gave me blisters everywhere, maybe it was an allergy, or maybe the new skin wasn’t ready to be exposed yet.
Honestly the healing process has been a nightmare, I was having severe panic attacks feeling like I have been disfigured, there was nothing in the instructions or online to prepare for the extreme reactions, if they happen to be a normal part of the healing process they should be explained in more detail first. I was told 2 weeks downtime, and while at the 2 week mark I was able to put some Avene tinted sunscreen on to attempt to cover the dark red marks all over my face, I certainly wouldn’t say I could comfortably go out in public at this point. It’s now been 2.5 weeks.
The blisters healed, the peeling happened but I am still covered in blotchy, very deep red marks. I’m praying every day they are not permanent, but they are not afraid fading much over the past 5 days…. Who knows yet. The doctor just said this is normal. I have some big events in a few weeks and all I want is my face back with its even skin tone. I do notice the wrinkles have decreased under my eyes, but the whole area looks red raw and burnt so I definitely wouldn’t take that as a pay off right now.
I would advise anyone getting this treatment to research as much as possible, also research the portrait as apparently they are very similar…. I sadly didn’t realize this before I underwent this treatment… there are some worrying reviews of the portrait and I would have stayed away had I have known. Be wary! I will update in a few weeks to post if things have improved and if there is any benefit at all or if this treatment burned my face.
