Created Pitted Orange Peel, and a Dent in Temple. Should Spot Test First!!

I had this done on chest and face. Lots more pain than expected. Was told I would look fine in a week...nope....
Before skin was smoother, by far. This created an orange peel effect. The laser made a visible dent in temple area! Burned? I am researching how to fix skin now. Maybe microneedling. I own a hair extension salon in Atlanta. Basically we all get procedures done. I’ve never seen someone look that great after laser...more so after a peel. Should have known better. Just yesterday saw a client who is late 30’s and she had pixel. Her skin texture also looked way worse and looked like her fullness was gone. Seems to eat the fat and filler? Not good. Not worth it. IPL has given me good results without pain or downtime. Also, lasering off spider veins has worked well. The chest skin is not pitted...so I think it did a fine, but not amazing, and not worth the pain, downtime or price. Face is our most valuable asset, so I recommend strongly to do a small spot before committing to this pixel (fractional??) laser.

Went to someone I trust in Atlanta implicitly, Angela Herrington FNP-C and am on my way to recovery. She literally said “don’t cry” when she was looking at the dents and bumps etc in my face. Burned. Darn laser. Also found out I was given the WRONG aftercare...at a cost of 213$. Angela sells same for 185. So. That’s why it was burning, not “soothing” as it was promised to.
I was told I would look “glowy and refreshed” in a week....I can say the effects of the laser continued to sod their thing bc face lost volume then and either got worse, or I didn’t look in the mirror waiting for the continued improvement for 6 months promised.
The filler used was volume. Have had this before and it’s worth the cost. It lasts 2 years. Felt funny being injected into temples...weird...but worth it. The results mean my face looks the same shape as it was before this.
Funny that I remembered the esthetician’s comment before she lasered me, “you look Great, you haven’t aged, you don’t have any wrinkles.” Well that thinned skin and crepey texture after...thanks pixel. Was it too aggressive? Not right for my skin? Who knows. No one wants to hurt someone’s skin. I know that. I’m sure the lady who did this feels awful. It has to be scary using lasers daily.
I wonder how many people have damage after, and just don’t notice it?
Will add pics later.
Thank you for Angela for the proper skincare, and the 4 vials of filler you injected at a discount bc you felt sorry for me. Thank you for being conservative too. I am filled with hope and feel like I have my face back...skin is next!
