5 week post op.. already seeing results

WORTH IT$4,500
So excited to see my pre and post op already show results at only 5 weeks... so excited to see what the three month and six month mark will show for final results!! To be honest, the skin texture alone is worth the $4500 fee! And Dr. Azar continues to prefect any huperpigmentation with Excel V laser treatments. I'm very very pleased. :-)

WOW! You look fantastic!
Hi Virifly, I wanted to ask you how are you doing after your treatment. I am thinking of doing this, so I was trying to ask people that have actually done this procedure. Thanks
Hi there. It was a great experience for me. The procedure is easy, fast and the results are still showing up 4 months later. I go in next week and should get new pictures and will post the update. The skin texture alone was worth it to me. My chin disappearing is another plus. For age 47, it was the perfect answer to erase a decade without surgery. Recovery for me was five days. Makeup after three. Any thing specific you'd like to know?
Firefly I have a strong tendency towards hyperpigmentation and so am worried about the needles. I note that you say "Dr Azar continues to perfect any hyper pigmentation with Excel V laser treatment". Do you mean that experienced hyperpgimentation as a result of this procedure or are you just referring to bruising? Grateful if you could let me know this is very important aspect to me.
Hi there!! Yes, I also have a tendency toward it and experienced it under the bruising!! As if the awful bruises were not enough ... with laser and a professional lightening cream I am better even toned than before. The doctor says this can occur. Make sure your doctor includes the laser post treatment at no cost.. I had to have 4 sessions and that would be very costly add on. The laser will bring out color too... my doctor expected I would need 2-3 treatments since I'm prone to hyperpigmentation. Hopefully that helps!
Would be great to see a recent update photo.
I take my sixth month photos on Aug 25th at doctor... I will post the pro ones then!
Great thx
How much of your face did you do and what was the cost?

Profound RF... Excel V laser takes away bruising

Day 11... woke up to all better and my doctor used the Excel V laser to get rid of my bruising. Since under my chin was still a bit numb at that time, it was a breeze. Make up easily covers any tone unevenness and I can already tell a difference... looking forward to my three month update! Will link to my video soon :-)

Did the doctor say how long the results will last? My understanding is two years.
Hi! Once the fat cells are gone, they are gone. No mention of two years, but more of one treatment lasts forever... of course till aging steps in...but at my next appointment (next week) I will get a more specific answer for us :-)
You look great & your review was helpful to me. im going to have it done soon.

Laser treatment on bruising post one week

Today was my one week checkup with Dr. Azar. He offered to laser my bruising under my chin (most likely a result of being on blood thinner) and here is the change in just two hours! I'm looking forward to seeing how it looks after a good nights sleep. Thinking it will be gone of not easily covered by makeup now. I'm also released to resume exercise with suggested ice packs after to help the swelling. My next update will be in about a week. Thanks for coming along with me!

Hi, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience. Can you tell us what laser did they use for the bruising on your next?
Hi there! It's the Excel V laser... I updated with pics the next morning after treatment. What a magical treatment for bruising. He used it when I bruised on my lips as well after juvederm injections... it's magic!
I had the profound procedure done 3 weeks and still have bad bumps and discoloration. Please tell me they go away :(
