ORIGINAL POST

Bothered by upper lip wrinkles and wrinkles...

Bothered by upper lip wrinkles and wrinkles forming around chin area. Tried fillers and botox, but the results were not so good. Had laser treatment in Doctor's office. Doctor used lots of nerve blocks, no real discomfort. Now on Day 2, skin appears to be healing. Too much swelling to see if wrinkles are permanently gone. Will keep posting.

Thank you for sharing your story. I will be following as this treatment has been recommended to me. Do you know, was this a CO2 laser? Thank you!
It may take as long as 6 months to really see the improvement. It was almost 6 months to the day that I could say"they are gone" and I had Sciton Contour for me. Be sure to stay out of the sun until you are fully healed and the pink is gone or you could get some hyperpigmentation which will need some BBL treatment to break up. Ask me how I know. I now get Sciton Forever Young 3 times a year to stave off aging and get rid of age spots. I have see documentation and it really is anti aging as is RetinA. You are very brave to have done this. It isn't for the faint of heart that is for sure. I liked the Jane Iredale concealer palette to hide the pinkness as it was healing. And "It" concealing makeup as well. That has an SPF of 50 to protect that new skin. Best wishes and keep us posted.
I also hd laser for lip lines and am very concerned at how red my mouth area is several days later. How long did ours take to normalize? Hope you had a good result.
