Hi Nice to Meet U All
nicholaslightFebruary 17, 2019
The passed year I noticed my skin texture, colour , pores .tone and acne scars were looking worse then ever , I hav worked in the sun all my life ime 35 and never really protected my self. Hav tried a few other things but nothing has really done much to improve any of my concerns. So doing my research on how to improve your skin I came across lasers and how they can make a nice change . After checking out the numerous amount of different lasers available eg fully ablative , fractional ablative and non ablative lasers I booked in with a well respected company for a consultation.on my consultation my doctor asked me my concerns and would I would like to improve , he then spoke about the various lasers and wat each one could do to help my situation he stated a fractionalb ablative c02 eg total fx , would giv me nice change we spoke about fully abaltive but for me the risk was to high, he also stated it could take 2 or 3 settings to get the desired results I asked for more so for acne scars etc . So I booked in for the 15 February 2019 had to wait 6 months as he had no availability I did active fx all over did deep fx all around the cheek area and where there was any more scars and did another pass of active fx to the rest of the face where we did not do deep fx for under eyes we did how ever do fully ablative as I had crepey skin he did two passes .so its been 2 days from doing my laser and all seems well so far oozing, swelling all the common signs u get from my treatment I wil b pleased to answer any questions any body may hav

Healing looks good, I hope you will faithfully use sun protection everyday now to protect your skin and the investment. If you don’t use retinoids you should see your dermatologist this will help to maintain and also improve your skin.
