Painful Horror That Left Scarring

The clinic I go to recommended Neogen PSR for fine lines and skin tightening. It was the most painful treatment I’ve ever had- injectable pain numbing and nitric oxide do even begin to help with the pain during the session of nearly 2 hours.
After that- expect 10 days of puss, pain, burning and swelling- you will not be able to go out in public. No results are worth this pain. Now- 7 weeks later- yes the fine lines are improved but the skin has been scarred and dark areas are all around the eyes and face.
Please please believe me- I’ve had almost every procedure- PRP, Co2, Exilis, ultherapy. This procedure is NOT worth the scarring risk to your face- the pain and the downtime. It has been a nightmare and I cannot believe they even approve this machine with the risks and pain it includes!
Horrible experience overall with permanent skin damage and pigmentation problems that were not present prior to treatment!

Unfortunately not every provider uses NeoGen PSR properly. I had the procedure with no complications and got great results with Holly Burman at New You Aesthetic in Kennesaw, GA.

So sorry for your situation. That is horrible for you. I did Portrait Plasma Resurfacing too. The procedure was not even slightly painful....no pain at all. The recovery was to painful either. The results were AMAZING. I would do it again for sure. I wonder what was different in your situation. It kind of scares me to do it again, because I would have to find a new doctor. Mine moved to CA.

I agree. The procedure is not painful. The results are great. The downtime depends on the energy level used during the treatment. Mine was done at New You Aesthetic in Kennesaw, GA. They are the only ones in the state with NeoGen PSR. Holly Burman is the owner. She is wonderful!

HI< did you ever recover. I just got talked into doing this treatment being told there was little downtime and it was perfectly safe. I am 7 days out and i have raised deep red marks that look like burns, im terrified. I had good skin before and i feel like my face and life are ruined. I hope you recovered in time and I hope there is a way out of this.

Can you please share what clinic you had this done at? So that others also know to avoid as well. Thank you and sincerely hope you heal up completely!
