Solana Beach, CA
I had my Resurfx performed in combination with an IPL, which I reviewed separately. My Resurfx was done immediately after my IPL, and took approximately 15 minutes, tops. I had already been given numbing cream prior to the IPL, so my face was still numb. Just as with the IPL, I had virtually no discomfort. I could feel it, but it truly did not hurt. After this was completed, an Rx cream was applied to help with redness, and then sunscreen was applied. One of the staff members actually also applied some make up for me, and then I went off to work. My skin was a bit warm, as expected, but only for a few hours. No one seemed aware that I had anything done, and I did not have any “down time”. I had some minor swelling the next day, but nothing that anyone else noticed. I wore my usual makeup on day 2. As expected, my skin felt a little rough for a few days, but it that appears to be going away. My skin looks great, and many of my fine lines, especially in the crow’s feet section, appear to be gone or greatly diminished. I am thrilled with the results and plan on having this treatment again when my budget permits. I am also looking into Ultherapy for my neck and eyelids.

I had my IPL performed at Dr. Palm’s office. I am extremely happy with the results that I am seeing. The procedure went really well. I was given a numbing cream before hand, and had no discomfort. My face was slightly warm for a few hours afterwards. The entire treatment took maybe 15-20 minutes, not including the prep time for the numbing cream. I would do this again in a heartbeat. I also had a Resurfx treatment done right after my IPL, which I will also review. I went to work after the treatments. I had a little swelling the following day, and was provided an rx to eliminate redness, which seemed to work. My skin did feel a little rough for a few days, as anticipated, but that dissipated quickly. For me, I had no real downtime, and no one noticed that I had anything done. My skin is much smoother, my pores appear tinier, and many fine lines seem to have disappeared. I am really glad that I had this done. (See my Resurfx review as well).

I have been seeing Dr. Ferrara for cosmetic and medical needs for over 4 years. I have been extremely happy with the care I have received. I asked for suggestion to start a preventative anti-aging plan and one of the suggestions was the ResurFX to help with textural issues, fine lines and collagen stimulation. His personal experience with the treatment made me feel very comfortable to proceed with the procedure. I am extremely happy with my results and I am looking foreword to continue on my anti-aging regimen. 34 Year Old Looking for Anti-aging Regimine.

Took Years off of my Face! 🙂 LOVE, love, love this laser procedure. This was a 3 part series… you have one treatment (about 15 mins) then your second a month and a half later and the 3rd a month and a half after that. I noticed results after the very 1st one and was hooked 🙂 Redness occurs afterward for about 2 days (I would do it when you can stay at home the following day). But 2 days later, you will notice your skin looks refined and younger and the surface is so much smoother and fine lines severely reduced. AMAZING.
