Mark’s Fractional at 2 Weeks

March 20th, 2010

“You’ve lost 10 years!”  I was showing one of the Ageless Remedies clients how my skin has responded to the fractional laser resurfacing that I did.  It has been two weeks and it’s easy to see the improvement!  I have posted the before and week 2 photos next to each other.  http://www.agelessremediesalpharetta.com/fractional-faqs-photos

The most obvious improvement is the texture and tones.  My skin is much smoother.  The surface is much smoother and healthier look with a glow to it.  The lines and wrinkles are gone.  Gone.  The crepey, bags under my eyes are down about 70%.  That is an area which is so difficult to get improvement, so I am very happy with that progress.  The hyperpigmentation particularly on the cheek bones is gone.  The only discoloration at all is back by my sideburns. 

We had another patient have a treatment this week and a second has set hers  for two weeks.  Dr. Grimsley’s informational seminar on the 31st is nearly full. 

It just helps everyone decide when they can actually see the physical improvements that the fractional does.

Dr. Grimsley on Marks Fractional

March 12th, 2010

Mark had a moderately aggressive treatment and has done very well.  He is pleased with his results and has chronicled his adventure very well.  I would like to add a few comments…

I would point out that his results, so far, are just the beginning of the benefits he will receive.  With the treatment, you get the initial improvement as Mark has seen and blogged about.  He will continue to get more improvement over the next 5 or 6 months.  This is the time the collagen layer in the skin is increased and this will give continued smoothening of the lines, increased elasticity and tightening of the skin.

At the risk of throwing a wet blanket on Mark’s story – he is very typical.  His journey through skin resurfacing is what we hear often.  His observations point out that this is a very effective medical procedure.  It’s an aggressive one treatment service that achieves significant results.  His results were not the exception!  His results are what we can EXPECT.  The pain and burning he worried about did not happen.  He returned to the spa in a couple days and wore a badge telling the world what caused his red face.  It is very satisfying to see patients as happy with their results as Mark.  But, the truth is his results are typical of CO2 resurfacing.  They are the results that everyone should expect.

Fractional Information Session – 31st

March 8th, 2010

Ageless Remedies of Alpharetta is doing a Beauty Workshop day, Wednesday, March 31.  Dr. Mark Grimsley will be doing a presentation, showing Before and After photos plus answering questions.  He has two sessions scheduled.  One is at 10:30 and the other is at 4:00.  Please give us a call to secure your seat in this informational session.  See why all of our patients are SO happy with their Fractional Treatments.

Fractional Update for Day 5

March 8th, 2010

Lines and wrinkles have been banished.  The lines around my eyes are nearly 100% gone.   The rough texture on my forehead and checks is smooth.  The uneven pigmentation on my check bones is gone.  The dark circles and bagging under my eyes is 90% gone.  WOW – that was the biggest thing I noticed, yesterday.

Seriously – my treatment was Wednesday afternoon and it’s Monday morning.  I am very surprised how quickly the redness disappears.  Yesterday, my hairline and the base of my neck were the only areas that indicated that I was red.  (Because you could see where the treatment area stopped.)    I have been peeling since Saturday.  It looks like it will end today.  To conceal the peeling, I just apply the Clayton Shagal Cohly Gel and the Priori Barrier Repair Complex every 3-4 hours.

So if you are trying to time when to have a fractional – Thursday is good.  You would take off Friday plus have Saturday and Sunday for the weekend and be ready to go back to work Monday.  If  you had some redness or peeling on Monday – you could wear makeup. 

Pictures go online tonight.

It’s Day 3 & I’m at the Spa

March 6th, 2010

I worked at little at the spa yesterday and today and was too red to not say anything.  So I made a “Name Badge” and explained my non-beautiful look in a beauty providing service.  It was pretty funny.  All of our clients were terrific and said they were interested in how I was going to finally look. 

One of our Fractional clients was in for other services today – Saturday.  She looked awesome and said that based on what she saw, my outcome was going to be tremendous. 

She did make one of those rewarding comments….”We are going on a trip in a couple months and the family needed to update their passports.  One of the things about passport applications is that you need to retake your picture.  I did it and compared it to the photo of 10 years ago…and you could not see the difference.  I was happy!”    So she liked the results from her fractional treatment.   She also said, which we know to be true, that she is continuing to improve.  More of her lines are disappearing and more smoothening of the skin texture. (It’s been about 5 months.)   After a fractional, our wonderful bodies repair and improve continuously for 4 to 6 months. 

So the fractional results are immediate (within 5 – 7 days, after the redness completely disappears) and over the long term.

Another of our patients asked how long are the results good for.  The answer is a long long time.  What I mean is that the Fractional CO2 laser sort of resets the clock and if you maintain and stay out of the sun without block, your skin will look younger for years.

Now it looks like sunburn

March 6th, 2010

In the not too distant past, a laser resurfacing procedure required 2 weeks of downtime while you recovered and shed layers of skin.  This new Fractional CO2 treatment is shaping up to be terrific.  I will get the same results and will have stayed home watching TV…or doing taxes for a couple days.   I should have minimal or no peeling.

Based on how my skin reacted the first 36 hours – I am very excited.
