Pixel Resurfacing on my Face Today

ORIGINAL POST

WORTH IT$3,000

I just had Pixel resurfacing done today. I was apprehensive at first because I thought it would be really painful. I made sure I took some pain medication before I had the procedure done and now I'm glad I did. It did hurt a little bit but not too much where I would say I gotta get out of here kind of feeling. It was actually okay and surprised that I made it alright and not crying in pain.

Of course right now my face look like an overcooked pork rind and I feel a little sting all over my face but not too bad. We'll see how it feels and look tomorrow.

Thank you EllieC. Day 2,still miserable and worried now. I wonder what am I doing to myself, and what if these black gridlines on my face will stay, then I'm really screwed. I look like one of those characters in horror movies. Day 3, Every night I took 2 advil to relieve me of aches and pains and it helped a lot. I use cold water to rinse my face and spread this shiny balm all over that a fly would get scared to be near me afraid of getting stuck in it. The puffiness and redness are slowly fading away. I am peeling massively. I can see the new skin. It is clear and smooth. I'm a little happy now and relieved that this Pixel procedure actually works. My face looks funny still but I got couple of days to hide.

Thank you Tracy. You are so right. I can see a big difference with my pixeled skin. I don't remember ever looking at my face and spending much time in the mirror before. Now,I can say it is so worth doing it and will do it again.For anyone that are thinking of having it done, go for it. It took me months to decide. I read and asked a lot about it until I've reached my comfort level and overcome my fear since I must have a near zero pain tolerance.I feel great that it looks nice and feels NICE!

Yea my skin feels awesome too, like a babies skin. My scarring is so much improved and i had really bad discoloration and my skin is totally evened out and looks like brand new skin. I still have time to wait for the final results but they can only get better and i seriously think Pixel saved me from a life of being a hermit. I never went anywhere and when i did i was mortified of running into anyone i had grown up with, my scarring was because of adult acne starting after i was 30yrs old. Now i can actually leave the house without makeup!!! I think we both made a excellent decision with the Pixel, dont you?? Congrats again and have a great Holiday Season. Tracy

Did you ladies have the original Pixel treatment or Pixel Perfect done? I have had a few of the original Pixel treatments done, but I am now signed up for the new Pixel Perfect in a few weeks, and I have heard that it's more intense. Did you both have eyelids and neck done as well as face? How many days until you felt "presentable" again? Thanks for your reply!
