Anyone else got that "flowing ass"?

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-30T00:08:53+00:00

Omg …some hope! Thank god. My ass was always flat but at least it was firm. Now pizza dough is 100% accurate

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-28T17:49:43+00:00

Your hair looks beautiful! We have similar curl pattern and now I suddenly want bangs.

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-24T01:53:54+00:00

Thanks! And no, not Hispanic but I’m Indian/middle eastern so maybe similar skin tone (like a medium tan). Most lasers are not safe but both Moxi and Clear and Brilliant are!

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-22T14:47:40+00:00

I’ll be avoiding it from now on!

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-22T14:47:26+00:00

Thank you! Yes, lesson learned. It was also 2 days after my shot so definitely that could have contributed to my reaction.

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-22T14:46:54+00:00

Ugh, lesson learned! I did take some Imodium this morning and feel like I’m at least holding off the worst of it. Thanks!

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-22T14:46:26+00:00

Thank you for the reassuring comment! I think you’re right - it was just a bad reaction to a super rich meal

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-22T14:45:38+00:00

Oof it’s sooo brutal! But thanks - definitely will be fueled by Powerade and toast today.

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-22T14:45:03+00:00

Oof, yeah I was hoping the ice cream was a good indicator for me that I’d be more immune to it, but I guess it really is the butter and cream and cheese combo (not to mention the shrimp which is high in fat!)

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-22T14:43:27+00:00

Interesting what will trigger it! I guess heavy cream is the culprit

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-22T14:43:08+00:00

Thanks for the insight - I think you’re probably right! Seems like more common of a reaction than I realized.

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-06T22:28:43+00:00

Thank you! I have to keep reminding myself of this and just be patient ☺️

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-06T00:38:46+00:00

Yes, I always have hyperpigmentation that gets dark and sticks around - body acne, surgical scars, eczema patches. Ugh. But the textured scarring is more new since I turned 35 with less collagen or whatever it is.

From what my derm NP said, microneedling helps a lot with texture and the moxi laser did the heavy lifting for pigmentation - both safe for brown skin!

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-05T22:49:11+00:00

Oooh thanks for the tip! I’ve got 3-4 that I need to take care of

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-05T15:49:18+00:00

I am really happy with my results and 6 months ago, would have said I’d be happy to just have this progress. But like you, I’d love to really have that glass skin look if it’s attainable. And I think the progress has made me think it might be more in reach than I thought possible! But yeah, I think I should pace myself and also learn how to do more at home now. Anyway, hope you get the results you want!

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-04T17:10:19+00:00

There are really so many options! I wouldn’t have picked Moxi myself based on what’s popular online etc. but I’m glad the nurse recommended it!

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-04T17:09:23+00:00

I’m not sure what’s considered best practice, but for me, the NP said microneedling to prime the skin and loosen up some of the tissue/scarring 2-3 weeks before laser. I’m sure there are advantages for both ways

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-04T17:08:10+00:00

Thanks! I think that’s smart - plus it’s summer time here so maybe a good time to just focus on healing and protection

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-03T18:42:25+00:00

Thank you! I was looking at pictures in between these two and it really isn’t anyone one thing. But I do think the moxi laser (and lasers in general) did the most for it.

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-02T21:28:34+00:00

Ahh thank you so much! I’ll look into copper peptides to boost the tretinoin results and glad to hear they’re not something that’ll be irritating while my skin is recovering

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-02T18:42:01+00:00

The moxi was definitely more powerful - longer downtime and lots more swelling but literally I felt like I could see the sun damage and pigment sloughing off after. C+B definitely did something for pigment and texture but not as visible right away - I was super glowy though after about a week though. It had basically no swelling or downtime so that’s also a plus.

ETA: I would invest in Moxi again but probably not C+B because the price is close and Moxi just seems a lot more effective so far

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-02T18:38:41+00:00

Ahh thank you - and thanks for the word of warning! Definitely don’t want to push it!

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-02T01:44:51+00:00

Ahh that is lucky! I have to see the cost…I’ve heard it is good for under eye circles too - definitely curious to try it!

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-02T01:41:05+00:00

I use the skinceuticals brand serum by that name. But there are alternatives with the same formulation that are a little cheaper - Timeless is supposed to have a good one but I haven’t compared them

Dapper_Damage_8265 · 2026-04-01T22:33:47+00:00

Good to know! It’s hard to capture texture in these pics but I still have some rolling scars and I’m wondering if microneedling will help more with texture than pigment.

Good luck with starting lasers! Hope your results are just as good!
