I just had Smartxide CO2 this morning

By Just Judy on 31 Aug 2012

I had this treatment done this morning.  I read online of other people's experience, which scared the heck out of me and caused me anxiety.  This procedure was not as bad as the IPL, in my opinion.  My office used the cooling air while it was administered, so I'm sure that's why there was little to no pain.  I'm six hours in and my face is doused in Aquaphor and I am starting to scab and crust.  The only discomfort was immediately afterward and that was heat and some burning.  Nothing I couldn't tolerate.  I am 48 years old and they aggressively treated my neck, which has bands and upper and lower eyelids.  I will let you know the results!
