Just wanted to follow up from my experience-My eyes took a bit longer to heal-had a week of "downtown" where my eyes looked scary. The ointment to soothe the eyes caused a breakout in my cheekbone area, which took another week to heal. I can say that the results are good. The fine lines smoothed out and my eyes look brighter and younger. I would recommend this treatment, just be prepared for the downtime. :)

I'm curious how you are doing now. Did you get the improvement that you hoped for? Would you recommend this treatment to people with similar concerns? How long was the downtime?

10 years later! How are the eyes? Have you done any other treatments since then or was this enough?

Day 2 of having the Ultrapulse Fractional Lumines treatment around the eyes. Had some lines under the eyes that were bothering me a lot, wanted something with little downtime and non-surgical. Woke up very swollen, but a bit less than yesterday, where my eyes were almost fully shut. Swelling lessened as the day went on yesterday and even this morning, a lot less swelling than when initially woke up. Took a lot of Ibuprofen, Vitamin C and Vitamin E (Orally not topical) to expedite healing. Skin looks very red and raw, can't cover up with make-up yet. Not nearly as scary looking as yesterday. Will post again tomorrow am.

Here I am on Day 2. Much less swelling than yesterday. Swelling worse first thing in the morning, but got better as the day goes on. Still waiting for swelling to go down to determine if it was worth it.

Hi Scottdale,

Welcome to the Active FX community. I'm glad thus far everything is going so well with your procedure. Also, very happy she told you your eyes would swell up. So many community members didn't know that and they freak out. Is this a procedure that you think you might have again? Please keep us updated and thanks for the pictures we would love to see final results.

Thanks so much for the review,

-Britt
