I too have had a bad experience with ATG. I did it three weeks ago and the bumps are still visable and is a major turn off to see being I never had them in my life. I will not do my neck for a while because of this so I clean up a DE. Don't give up so quick. Stay with the safe areas until you resolve the problem your experiencing.
