Hello, A week after the procedure , I have not experienced any tingling /redness/peeling during or / after the procedure. Also, and my precancerous cells feel the same ( like dry patch). Did the therapy work? Every site I have read up on, the I individual experiencing redness/peeling /tightness/ swelling .
