Fibroblast/Plasma Pen Laser Treatment

After 7 months...i have to say overall I never noticed much improvement. There is one area on my cheek bone that still has some very faint dots. They don't bother me because I don't think anyone else notices them. A TCA peel is probably a good idea now that summer is over. I won't do it again because it was way too painful for the slight amount of benefits. I did get some Sculptra injections in my cheeks that I feel were a huge change for me. Their affects were immediate and I intend to get another round soon.

Now getting around to adding photos. All healed and still hoping for improvement. See my 2 month review above. Maybe better results if I had a second treatment. I said all I have of interest yesterday in my written 2 month update but for some reason realself is requiring me to input 200 characters so I'm just going to keep typing till I get there so I can post these most recent photos.

Hi, thank you all for your interest and comments on my review. Should you do it? For best results be prepared to do it at least twice. I haven't done an update until now because I wanted enough time to let it heal and do it's "thing" before I jumped to a conclusion. Sooo, okay, I do see SUBTLE improvement in my fine lined in all the areas treated. I do believe to get any major results you definitely need more than one treatment. That being said, the 5-7 day downtime is a big deal. I would have it a second time but I'm not prepared to go through that again right now. Reasons; it's Spring/Summer so no sun, downtime and cost. It is recommended to not get any sun on the area for approximately 90 days,
If cost + downtime are factors I'm torn to give this a thumbs up. I still have a few tiny dot scars on my upper cheekbone on just one side. Unnoticeable with makeup and I trust they will go away eventually.
Otherwise I have no disparaging comments but again, it's a very subtle improvement. Breaking this down I would say there has been some tightening under my chin and neck. Some good results under my eyes, upper lid results are less dramatic. I had my eyes done many years ago and I was recently told not enough skin there to have a second but my upper lids are crinkly which was the major factor I chose to do this. Not much improvement in my crepey cheeks either but maybe a little. I want some filler there next!
My last comment will be that surgery ie. a total facelift is the bottom line real key to the fountain of youth but, if, for a million different reasons, you are not up for that, any and all the many procedures out there are worth your time and money. I have tried most and I believe anti-aging is the sum total of all of them combined. It's an ongoing battle. I'm just hoping eventually I get to the point I don't care anymore lol. Posting photos tomorrow.
