Profractional Laser Treatment
UPDATE: If you want cheap DIY treatment at home:
I am currently undergoing several post-procedure procedures and am constantly seeing improvements so they may need to be reconsidered and say this may be worth it.
I cover preparation, treatment, healing, cost and before and after photos. When I say the "step forward" section goes to 5:00 and you skip my burning face :-) I use really bright lighting so you can see every imperfection (lol!). I'm not sure why some of the before / after lighting looks a bit different but I use the same lamp.
We made the trip so I would read all the reviews but not respond. Thank you for understanding. I'd be interested to hear what you think :-)
Please like / thumbs up and comment because I love hearing what you think. Please subscribe, to be updated every time I make a new video.
Thank you so much for watching ... I really appreciate it.

I think your cheeks and eyes look much better. The complexion without makeup isn't worth the money but I would focus on the neck. You're look beautiful especially for your age but that's what I'd focus on if I had the resources to do so. I would love to see your story continue.
ReplyDeleteThis is so helpful!! Thank you so much. You look amazing by the way. Thanks for being so thorough and forthcoming.
ReplyDeleteNEVER NEVER NEVER stop a blood thinner. You're taking it to prevent STROKE and heart attacks. Is having a better looking face so important you'd risk death? My God. I was a Chanel makeup artist and my passion is obvious but I cannot imagine anyone putting looks above death. ASK YOUR DOCTOR. I did.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I found this video. Numbing cream would do nothing for me, so if it hurt you it would be a nightmare for me.
ReplyDeleteI love honest reviews. Thank you. You look beautiful regardless
ReplyDeleteYou showed before and after pics from your first treatment. You stated that you first treatment was not aggressive. Please show before and after pics from third treatment.
ReplyDeleteI found tear trough filler works very well for under eye . 350$ over here in AUstralia 🇦🇺 lasts me a good year or more . Instantly works
ReplyDeleteI feel the same as you do, there other alternatives and some as we speak are being formed, in the homes. Natural is good but you look very Beautiful
ReplyDeleteThis is great information. To me it is definitely not worth it. Pictures are not good indicators as your skin changes with hydration levels and hormones from day to day. I am surprised they did not give you more pain control. I believe for deep chemical peels they provide anesthesia. Deep chemical peels are the way to go for more dramatic results, or surgery. I am sorry you had to go through that but thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI think you are spot on with your critique of the non ablative laser. I just tried lutronics lasemd and was also given a killer deal with my doctor at $350.00 per session. I'm a 36 year old male who just wants to maintain my youth so I did it to minimize pore size... However, I thinks the cost of the procedure was far greater than the results. I saw very minimal improvement after my sessions. There is slight improvements with pore size but not much. I understand that people's results will differ but I can honestly say retine A micro cream has probably still beat out the technology of today... i may try a more ablative process next time co2 laser to see how that may differ...
ReplyDeleteAgain, I'm happy to see someone out there had similar findings with me! Take care!
You are so pretty. Thank you so much for doing this video
ReplyDeleteHermosa mujer...
ReplyDeleteMy Derm’s nurse said he gives patients an Ativan and a Percocet for the Fraxel treatments. Numbing cream too iirc.
ReplyDeleteAs much as ppl complain of how painful this process is you would think they would offer local anesthesia
ReplyDeleteI had fractional c02 with one week down time and it was totally worth it. I'm doing it again. I had it done 8 years ago. I think you look great. I think if you want impactful results, you have to do the one week down time.
ReplyDeleteThank you your video was great, how about hair on the face or chin does it permanently remove it,and what about scars do they vanish,
ReplyDeleteI can not thank you enough for taking the time to be so honest, detailed and thorough with the process. This is so helpful for me and so many others!
ReplyDeletePeople glad for those who have had good results BUT be careful here's why:
ReplyDeleteI have spent 100's of hours looking into every aspect of high energy devices what I found is a truth that is absolutely staggering. If you have quite healthy skin certainly DO NOT GET LASER, especially fractionated, NOR RF, NOR IPL
Even if you suffer from scarring or other skin problems look into peels or other treatments. The risks are too great.
On a daily basis people are getting damaged. There are so many accounts of victims on REALSELF and laser and the IPL and Laser Damage Support Forum with heart wrenching stories. Skin, faces, lives have been destroyed.
1) What the manufacturers tell the practitioners simply is not true. They will sell to ANYONE and people are not sufficiently trained. Even reputable dermatologists, doctors, plastic surgeons have damaged people to subsequently deny and left people hanging when they turn to them for help after they notice the devastating damage, which will get worse over time.
2) The FDA 510 k approval process guarantees nothing. These devices are NOT subjected to clinical trials. They look to the predicate device, which is THE FIRST EVER developed for a specific indication if certain specifications are alike to this first device approval is simply granted. The FDA is corrupt and influenced by lobbying of manufacturers. Letters to prove this.
3) Science behind the damage it is there:
Look up Active Thermal Bystander Effect (ATBE) ; this will cause damage to migrate and even untreated areas will be affected.
Danger Associated Molecular Patterns (DAMP's) ; which lead to immediate apoptosis which is PROGRAMMED CELL DEATH and cause chronic inflammation which will keep this proces going.
Some doctors are speaking out like Sam Lam, Amiya Prasad, Dr Rodriguez, Michael Law who has treated many victims of laser, Radiofrequency and IPL with fat grafting.
4) Reports of damage go back over a decade. Like Thermage and Ultherapy victims were ridiculed and not believed these devices can ALL cause scarring, ATROPHY and FAT ATROPHY. The thermal damage may be too great and this will destroy healthy structures present in your skin and age you. The consequences are absolutely devastating and not worth the risk.
I think these kinds of treatments are total madness in our society. I had one and have come full circle of not being so neurotic that I do extreme things like this and put neurotoxins near my brain once a year (the last time resulting in severe constipation that let up once the stuff worse off...) I am happier accepting myself and doing mild skin care things that aren't over the top. I still think I look good for my age and if I don't, I want to be happy for my age.
ReplyDeleteI think it’s worth it. I notice an overall tightening in your skin and better coloring. 1 treatment every 6 months to 1 yr it’ll help you stay firm along with all other treatments. Like you said, if you have the money it can’t hurt! We need all the tools in our arsenal lol I can’t wait until I can get it done. Waiting for my children to get in school , go back to work so I can afford to treat myself. I’m 37 and have acne scarring.
ReplyDeleteI see a significant improvement under the eyes and reduced vertical lines on the lower jowls and plumper skin overall. I would say it is worth it because I think you would have to have a surgical procedure at a lot higher cost to get a better result than that.
ReplyDeleteYou can see a.big difference with the undereye wrinkles
ReplyDeleteIt was worth it!
ReplyDeleteI think you look fabulous. There is definately a difference in all 3 areas. Im surprised it took 3 treatments though. Such an investment of time and money...
ReplyDeleteI think you would get a better result with BBL for your spots. No down time and minimal discomfort during the procedure. Thanks for sharing your experience!
ReplyDeleteIn the Netherlands it ranges from € 300-800
ReplyDeletei have had laser treatment for redness,sun damage,pigmentation, i am on my 7th prcedure and to be h onest i have not seen any difference in my skin at all,,yhis has depressed me so much that i don't leave my house to go out,if anything yhis has made my face worse,i'm so,so angry,i cry everyday, i took before and after pics but i see no difference,,my aesthetics dr told me i need healing time,,,i've had 6 weeks in between treatments,maybe longer but i have to say thid has effected my life in a bad way,i had high hopes for having this procedure but it has effected my mental health dramatically,my gp has prescribed antidepressants. my next visit for laser is in 2 weeks but i will be putting my concerns accross and telling her she has ruined my face and confidence and i will demand what she will suggest to rectify her mistakes! or i shall be seeking legal actions.
ReplyDeleteDid you have sjorgens then? I see watery eyes and glossy shiny teeth.
ReplyDeleteU look good in the end but not too diff with make up...
ReplyDeleteI think you look great,
ReplyDeleteWow you look beautiful.
ReplyDeleteNew sub definitely worth it.... doesn’t it change the texture of skin too?
ReplyDelete8:19 your skin definitely looks tighter in the after. You can see the line just under your left cheek softened up a lot! And the crepeiness under your eyes is markedly different. I think people expect more of a miracle when they do these procedures, but I think you look FABULOUS!!
ReplyDeleteEdit: and your face lools thinner too.
Thank you so much for the honest review. Now I know I can get results from injectables that cost much less for the little imperfections I'm starting to see.💜
ReplyDeleteyou look amazing
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this video. Saved me time and money$$.
ReplyDeletetreatment or not, you are a beautiful lady!!
ReplyDeleteYour eyebrows are way too overdrawn and clown like! They look like rainbows! And way too high! Very unnatural looking and makes you look very suprised or in shock! And whats wrong with the tip of your nose? It looks like you smelled something so bad that they tip and nostrils went upwarrds or seomthing! Maybe ask Mark for some momnye to get that fixed! I mjust trying to help here, dont mean any disrespect :D
ReplyDeletePlease ma how are get the treatment i serious dark spot please
ReplyDelete
