Im 37 yrs old and felt my skin looked tired, l had large pores and pigmentation! I was looking for a fresher look, I have tried Botox once before and didn't like the way it changed my face! I went into the clinic asking for a chemical peel and got persuaded to try DERMA PEN. I have had 3 sessions a min of 4mths apart, what a load of rubbish!!!! Waste of money! The only time my skin felt plumper was immediately after treatment! My pigmentation got worse instead of better, and I have now had to have laser on the brown patches! The Dermapen I had went as deep as 3mm and I had a N point (bleeding) straight away! It does not hurt at all with the numbing cream on! The laser however felt like hot fat from pan hitting my face but i have a high pain threshold so could tolerate it! After laser it is very sore! Pigments have now fell off and I'm almost healed! Took abt 10 days though x

Thanks for sharing! You look younger than 37! What type of laser did they perform on you?

How much did the fraxel cost and how many treatments please? Do you have a picture to show what it was like before the laser?

Hi I had one session of fraxel laser and they did it free because of the pigmentation the derma pen had fetched out. I would not have the laser again even if it was free, it killed and under my eyes have got bags of fluid! These have only come since the laser! X

What did you use after you had dermapen done cause it creates a controlled wound and is meant to damage the skin in order for it to be repaired. In order for your skin to heal properly after this procedure did they recommend a healing serum or stem cell, peptide or even derma pen makes serums to use at home to recover but what did you use after your microneedling treatment.

They put hyaluronic acid on immediately after treatment and made me purchase a avenue recovery moisturiser. They said after a week to use retinol cream but this stung my skin, so only used it once

Thank you for sharing. I feel the same about my experience with Voluma. It looked great for about three days until the swelling went down. It was not the worth the beaucoup bucks that I spent. I think you look wonderful and don't need to do anything.

Aw thank you but my skin has got worse, my bags under my eyes have fluid pockets now, personally I think it's off the laser because they were not there before! and I wish I left well alone
