I had been warned against laser and told it makes the skin more vulnerable. then I saw the reviews here. I want to hug that girl. I think Russian roulette as said by someone here describes the risks well. I use dermaneedling to get the results and its MUCH cheaper too. I found a website that tests different dermarollers for safety and effectiveness and did a ton of research too. the downside of dermaneedling is it needs cleaning (instrument) and preparation and buying lidocaine to prevent feeling pain. So it's not as fast as putting on a cream. But then I never really believed in creams. I don't trust the medical practitioners after these reviews. I'd prefer to do nothing than let a practitioner ruin my skin and then tell me I look fantastic. scary! I wonder if their peers/colleagues after reading these reviews will just ask a member to let them fix it or will they do the hard thing and challenge their peers.

Before you proceed with any more lasers, please register and read the stories from thousands of others who have had lasers. I cannot post the link on here, but if you google IPL and laser damage support, you should be able to find it.

You're welcome. Maybe get started on some anti-inflammatory supplements such as curcumin as well as lots of vit. c and e, evening primrose oil (2x the recommendation). Use anti-inflammatory gels/creams like curcumin gel (psoria-gold), calendula, etc. It will go a long way to prevent deterioration. Things to do and take are all on that website I mentioned. If you ask the administrator, she can help you navigate to find what answers you may be looking for.

Thank you, I am going to check the site out. I am thinking of just leaving it as is.

Peace of Mind

RoxiannieJune 5, 2013
I decided to call Affrims' Manufactuer. They were very helpful, more so than my plastic surgeon( I suppose he just didn't have the information). The company connected me to a wonderful nurse (they have great customer service). She asked me for pictures, and I also told her I had gotten affirm laser IPL. she assured me that the pigmentation will probably peel away in about 2 weeks! So I am much more at ease now. If indeed the spots do remediate I will continue the treatments. I just wish someone would have told me what to expect. I will keep you updated. ... I suppose being informed is our best defense.
