Not Sure
Spent: $1,500 in Ireland

My treatment was very painful, the effects of the numbing cream wire off/were not effective, minutes into my treatment. At the moment I have had a really tough week with little or no sleep due to pain/itching etc. I have painful dermitis and a coldsore at the moment and my skin looks dry and flaky. . I just want to get back to normal!

I had pearl laser and pearl fractional one week ago, I am finished with the vinegar soaks and Vaseline routine, I can now wear makeup but my skin is very dry and slightly flaky in places. Can I go back to a normal moisturizer? Also can I use my jan marini transformation cream at night? I have a sore patch of dermititis under my chin, it's quite painful and crusting, I am using 1% hydracortizine cream, is there anything else I should do? I also have a very sore sport on my chin, it's red and painful-how do I know if this is a developing coldsores or just a reaction to all the Vaseline in the last week? Thank you so much in advance for any help/advice you can give, I really appreciate it.

My Doctor: Name not provided

Not the providers fault that the mbing cream didn't work, very good consultation given, notes on aftercare etc. I knew what to expect, unfortunately I got all possible side-effects .

see your doctor immediately to identify what exactly you have on your face. you may have an infection/virus and need treatment. also contact the practictioner who performed this procedure on your face and inform her of your adverse effects
