[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What specific laser did you have and what did it treat? How long before you see results? [/quote]

OP again. I did the PicoSure Focus Array and the results are immediate. I'm basically doing it for collagen and elastin stimulation- and originally considered Ultherapy but was advised that PicoSure would be a better option for me. My pores, which weren't bad to begin with but still visible, are less noticeable now and my skin feels very subtly tightened. I did my research before going for this and was annoyed that the before and after photos were those of pretty extreme cases (yes, of course there are 50% less wrinkles after 5 treatments- duh!). So I was wondering whether this would make a difference because who wants to waste their money right? My skin prior to the laser is naturally still smooth with no pigmentation issues except for the odd pimple PIH. I'm having a chemical peel in four weeks and then doing the laser treatment four weeks following that. Not sure if you can tell, but I'm a skincare freak.[/quote]

OP you are 29 and it sounds like you have good skin. Totally understand preventative measures, but do you really need chemical peals and lasers already? Just curious why you went there instead of products. What’s your daily skincare routine ?[/quote]

I do use products. Sunscreen, Vitamin C serums in the morning and Retin-A at night. I don't think chemical peels and a series of PicoSure treatments is excessive. To me, excessive would be like Fraxel which is ablative and wouldnt have helped me. You're right about preventative measures- my philosophy is prevention is better than correction. So [b]if I can top up the collagen and elastin in my dermis[/b] (since I'm producing less of it now), why not?

Yeah, that's not really a thing. A fool and their money are soon parted. [/quote]

It's called technology. Not slathering on creams but actually using laser technology to induce collagen stimulation. The OP isnt saying she's looking to look 12, just to [b]prevent further aging. [/b]I wish all this options were around 20 years ago!

But that’s not possible.[/quote]
