Reviews
Impressive photos with laser exposure on the skin before and after - people look 10-15 years younger. But keep in mind that the reality may be slightly different.
”At the age of 35, I had a deep nasolabial fold, so I decided to correct the defect with the help of fractional laser rejuvenation. The problem disappeared, but after 10 months no trace of the anti-aging effect appeared. The price of the procedure is high, the sensations are very unpleasant - I want a longer result ".
”I am 40 years old, my skin is prone to premature aging, so I am older than my years. I read an amazing review from those who did fractional photothermolysis - I decided to take a chance. I did the procedure on the nasolabial folds and eyelids - it was very painful, the anesthesia did not work much. During the recovery period the crusts, constant itching, peeling were very accelerated. Six months have passed, I like the effect, but it should be repeated soon, but I can not prepare it mentally. "
”I had a severe rash as a teenager, which resulted in a lot of ugly scars. I read reviews about facial skin rejuvenation with a laser and went to the clinic. The impressions are horrible - it hurts and has a burnt smell. On the first day I just ran away from the terrible pain in the apartment. The scars have become less noticeable, but they will need 5-6 procedures from beginning to end. "
”3 weeks ago I had facial removal and eyelid lifting, the skin is still healing, very itchy, you can no longer go out. The pain during the procedure itself was similar to the ankle, but after that I got a terrible herpes. In addition, age spots and wrinkles have not completely disappeared. I believe there are better methods. ”
”I made a gift for myself at the age of 45 - I decided to use a laser to remove drooping eyelids and nasolabial folds. I needed 3 procedures that were done at 2 week intervals. 3 months have passed, the recovery period was difficult, but now I am happy to look at myself in the mirror. I'm going to do it in 3 months. "
”I did a facial twice, at the age of 30, again 3 years later. The skin became more elastic, cleaner, pores were reduced, fine wrinkles disappeared. But one session is not enough and the course is also expensive. There is an effect, but it is far from being shown in advertisements. "
