It took at least 4 days before I had a light peel start, and my sling would not absorb any type of moisturizer, lotion, serum or oil.

It's been almost 3 weeks and I can say my scars do not seem any more filled in yet. It can take up to 3 months to see any results. My skin does seem to be more even toned, maybe radiant? But I am having some breakouts (minor) along my jawline and chin. One bad cystic between my eyebrows that started just before or after my first treatment. Almost gone now though :-)
I have been using Ole Henriksens See the Difference Serum as well as a serum with EGF.

Next treatment on the 18th!

I'm thinking of having this done... keep us apprised. I was thinking of making an appointment tomorrow but now wondering if chem peels might be better because it'sa faster result? I don't want to wait four months for a result!

I actually just cancelled my remaining sessions. I see some overall skin tone improvement but nothing with making my scars look better. I know they say you need a series of 4 treatments to see results, but I also don't want to wait that long and spend $2000 for nothing. I'm ordering TCA 50% to try as a spot treatment in just my scars. That will take time too, but it's easier recovery. I can handle a small amount of scabbing vs looking like a windburned freak for up to 10 days. I'm also considering the Campire Facelift with just the injections, but I'm hesitant since the treatment I had included injections in the scars with no results.

Kybella will not tighten your neck. It will melt some neck fat but you will need 3-5 treatments and your neck swells up like a bullfrog for over a week. Don't waste your money. Smart lipo with thin cannula with radio frequency on the tip can immediately suck the fat out with small tiny hole under your chin and tighten at the same time. Kybella will NOT tighten.

Thanks so much for your comment! I'm looking into Smart Lipo now! I want something I can have done on my neck and my belly.

I thought in my late 30s that I had started to lose my jawline due to age, but I then went on a strict low-carb diet (Atkins-style) and lost 13% of my original weight and what do you know, my jawline is really defined again. Try that before lipo where you risk a lumpy result and unpredictable appearance as your body weight fluctuates over time.

Lady penelope, you had your jawline defined AFTER you lost wait ??
I had Ultherapy to my lower face and it totally missed up my face that i developed jowls and sagging lower face. Losing wait should have the same effect on the face especially at older age as late 30s.
I'm struggling now with my sagging and don't know what to do. I'm not considering face lift at my age now (37 yrs).
Any advice?!

I was going to book this myself I have the exact same thing as you large pores acne scars I also have slight bags under my eyes I thought this facial would be perfect but I also don't want to wait so long for a desired effect I feel like there isn't actually anything that can help pores as like you I have tried everything I've also had all the natural skin peels. Your review was great BTW

Honestly you shouldn't stop now. There's a reason this treatment is sold as a package. One session is nothing.

How is your skin now? I see that you might need TCA cross treatments, as you have ice pick scars. Hence, this is the reason why the microneedling session with PRP injection did not work as you are still seeing the pitted ones. It only works best with rolling scars. At the dermatologist, he can put in 100% TCA on your pitted scars. What you are doing is treating yourself with the 50%, that you are referring to, right?

Also, I beg to differ on my experiences with PRP. I still have the same aggressive microneedling with mine but the PRP is smeared on while doing the needling. The leftover is smeared on and I was told to leave it on for 12 whole hours. My goodness, this seems to have worked after the 2nd treatment. I can see changes and more smoothening that I never saw before. It WILL take 4-6 treatments, depending on the depth/severity of the scars. But, I do have the rolling ones due to many, many Fraxel or CO2 procedures over the past years. I am seeing another doc soon for the pitted ones for the TCA cross.

She must have poked through my vein because I've never bruised this badly from a blood draw. Thank goodness for Arnica 30x!

Super red, no peeling yet. Skin felt like light scabbing. I was told to not use anything other than a gentle cleanser or water on my face.

it looks like you got a good treatment from the reaction. Curious, did you not get micro needling under the eyes? my therapist was pretty thorough going all around the eyes. booking my second session for next week

No, he didn't go above the top of my cheekbone. Honestly, I think I may have been his first in office treatment for PRP...I caught him reading the instructions to use the centrifuge. He did injections into my scars but I haven't noticed and slight improvement on their depth or size.

I loved all three of my Vampire facials. I didn't have any down time. I was able to go out the next day.
