First, how did it go? were you happy with the results? did it work for you? what problems did you have? I am considering having one done.
My doctor told me that you can get ANY other treatment after photofacial. They are gentle enough for you to get peels and microdermabrasion later. Actually, you achieve better results by combining techniques

Hi Elena,

Actually, I was very pleased with the results. I had mild rosacea and broken blood vessels all over my cheeks...

The doctor first did a test patch to see how my skin would react... It was fine and a few days later she did the whole face.

Almost all the blood vessels are gone and my face has a much more even tone. zero down time, had it done on friday and went to work on monday... I was pink for a few hours and that was it.

Hope this helps!
Roxy

Thank you!! one more question, did you have open pores? I mean, enlargened pores in your cheeks and nose? did you see them getting smaller after the procedure?
