24 Yrs Old, Irregular Rough Texture/sun Damage - Oklahoma City, OK

I have gotten a total of 5 fraxel SR 1500 treatments over the past year and a half and I have had fairly good results. I am awaiting my 6th one in April (darker skinned patients=less powerful treatments=more treatments). I would love for you guys to judge my skin on how it looks nowadays and also after I get my treatment! Thanks!

After performing another fraxel in April of last year, as well as another in Oct 27th of 2016 (I get them discounted;) ). I am now, 3 months into my last fraxel treatment. I grew out a little baby beard over the course of a month (5oclock shadow) and after shaving 3 days ago, my jaw dropped! The collagen remodeling has been doing very well! I have been consistent with taking daily vitamins(with meal) and collagen vitamins (on empty stomach). I have been drinking a gallon of purified water for the past 7 months and that has helped with making me look more awake and glowy, even when tired!

We all know how this particular insecurity/journey can become very difficult. It had affected my ability to trust people, it has left me living life in debt/on a budget, it has stirred up many arguments with my companion, yet, she ceases to leave me because I believe at the end of the day she knows the majority of my speculations/opinions on the significance of having a clean-like appearance in today's world is somehow believable! With all this being said, I am awaiting my tax refund and I am currently looking into a 3 treatment sess of RF Microneedling/derma pen. Because honestly people, I do look great and have been, yet, there are those days (and most of you should know what I'm referring too), those days where you somehow slip into depression, you look at yourself and somehow you feel as though your working SO HARD, for SO LITTLE!! It's a bummer when one puts so much in a particular treatment that almost promises you a second chance to gain something that we all once had and remember how it felt, to see it not be true. We trust it so much that we dig into our pockets and spend money that we truly don't have (idc how rich you are), in order to refrain from getting judged and feeling left out in the interests of society.

I feel confident that my journey, and this negative mindset that has for many years, made up my introspection, will come to a progressive end. If anyone know a lot about RF microneedling/dermapen lmk! My consultation with the PHYSICIAN (not a narcissistic woman in a day spa) is this coming Friday. I wish you all a smart, safe and successful skin journey! (Pics are in natural lighting vs high wattage white bedroom lamp light.) (because this is the kind of aspects people with a uncommon complexion worry about;). )
