I had Active FX CO2 resurfacing on my face at MEDAesthetics on 4/26/21. I chose this procedure because the downtime (per the laser manufacturer) is meant to be a few days to 2 weeks. On day 3 post procedure, my face became bright red, blistered, and excruciatingly painful. Erik expressed...
I decided to write this review to document my entire CO2 journey. Like many of you reading this, I was terrified to undergo the procedure, but the conditions that it addresses were exactly what I was looking to fix. I found a very reputable doctor and had the procedure done yesterday after...
Day one. Full face Active FX including neckline and eyes. Numbing cream and cold air during tge treatment helped a ton. After the air was turned off it instantly hurt more. Painful but not unbearable. Iced that night and felt a little queezy. I could smell my own burnt skin and got very red...

I saved money for a very long time to get this procedure done. This pain was terrible while being performed but I got through it. On day two I was in horrific pain. I called in the morning and was told they do not give pain medications for this procedure. I got another call back in the...
I have always have ice pick scars from acne as well as disliking my bulbous tip. I decided to have consultation with Dr.leadbetter at The plastic surgery group in Cincinnati,Oh. He seemed very confident in only doing the tip of my nose & that total fx should help with many of the scars. I had...
I have suffered from acne since high school and my struggle continued into young adulthood. Intense cystic acne outbreaks left me with scars . My scars are rolling that had rounded, sloping edges mainly on my cheeks. I went through two cycles of Accutane. As I grew older, my skin started to...
