This is not really a "Before and After". Posting the "After" at the 3 day mark is not the end result at all! On day 3, her face is still tight, and slightly swollen which would give the impression that things have improved. But, on days 5-8, her face will show tiny scab marks like a grid on her face. By the 7-10 day mark most of the damaged skin will have shed and THEN you will see if something was improved. Is there some reason why you did not show the final result? Did it not go well?

@CasuallyObservant The female opt to only do 2 laser passes at the very lowest settings. Normally, a clients will opt for 3-4 passes at the highest settings and with theses settings you will see the true results on the 10-14 day. Your are correct about the after improvement when doing aggressive laser. Yet, the females settings were so low that she was basically not swollen just a little pink. Also, the female needed to be healed for work in only 3 days. So, the settings were adjusted for that.

your technique is very thorough. just my opionion, but i would have also liked to see her with some juvaderm in her heavy smile lines. just curious, was your patient a smoker or was this just sun damage?

@smabernethy The patient is not a smoker. She had lots of sun damage skin. Yet, she only had a lite laser treatment. She only had 2 passes of laser over the skin and the laser was not deep at all. The get the best results you need 4 passes that are deeper. Thanks for viewing.

Thank you for ur reply.I am undergoing fractional laser treatment.I would like to know can I do facials in between the treatments and is it ok to be 2 months apart from one sitting to other?my doctor advised me to do it 3 weeks apart from one fractional laser and the next one.Can i see good results after the treatment since i have acne (pitted )scar

@vidhya2006ify I'm not sure what your facials treatments are, but I would not do anything in between the two months laser treatments. You need for you skin to heal some before the next laser. Just keep is on the safe side.

I got it. It wasn't painful- but it didn't seem to do anything.

[MrMikomi]

hmm she looks the same to me after as before.

not particularly attractive; not helped by the reverse smile.

she would look twice as attractive if she smiled, forget the laser.

@vidhya2006ify The best time between treatments is 2 months..

[vidhya2006ify]

what is the best time spacing between one session and the other.

Hope you guys like cancer. That's what you dumbasses are risking when you obtain radiation damage.
