Resurfacing - I have had great results - Bulgaria

WORTH IT
Since I have got questions about the actual skin condition now as well as if skin thickening is still going on here are few points in brief:
The tension (lifting) of the skin, as well as the polishing (resurfacing) of the skin after the deep ablative laser resurfacing is due to two reasons (that is according to Dr. Jullian Penev): the coagulation shrinkage of dermal extracellular matrix in the area surrounding the ablative channels and also a formation of new collagen in the already shrunk dermal mariks; stimulation of collagen synthesis in the ablative holes during the first weeks as well as organizing and modifying the collagen in the following four months.
I read the review of Dr Brent Moelleken. I will ask my questions too. (Also, my mother desires total rejuvenation).
Regards.

Just remember the deeper the treatment the less you can do it. You could probably do C02 Profractional Laser treatment twince in your life time. Face& Neck, Decolette, and Back of Hands. After that you should not spend too much time in Direct Sunlight... Think Victorian Parasols and Big Hats!

thank you milly B for telling your story. i use SPF helioplex very regularly. I am active outdoors so it is very important. melasma is common with being a middle aged women. hormones! the deep fx did help with skin texture, but now makes bleaching creams impossible for me because of post deepfx allergic reaction sensitivity, i guess if someone is careful to monitor for allergic reactions to the gel used after the procedure, it is a good procedure with good results. there are several post op options, so just be aware!

Thank you. I get informed as much I can do, one can not get on the trial-error path when it comes to their skin. No bleaching creams for me in the summer, esp. No way I shall experiment since you are right - allergic reactions are very common. I also do not use vitamin A and D as of now. Will go again to redo the procedure if I have to with the same laser specialist (Dr. Julian Penev). Pls, let me know if you can recommend a good laser therapist so I can have it in mind too, (distance travel and commuting are fine with me)
