I just had pearl fractional done on my entire face...

I just had pearl fractional done on my entire face yesterday. I had block freezing done on my face to reduce any pain. The level of pain was stilll about 4 on 10. Today it is still very hot, and my face is extremely red. Yesterday it bled quite a bit and today the bleeding has stopped. I am soaking every two hours (with the 2 cups cold water and one teaspoon vinegar) for 15 minutes. I did this procedure to reduce the wrinkles on my face and sun damage.

The question is: a non-physician administered the pearl fractional. She took the course only and works in the clinic. What is recommended? Also, could there be any long-term damages to my face? It is quite red and swollen with bruising on the sides of my eyes (probably from the block freezing).

Great review?

My Doctor: name not provided

It was not a physician who administered the procedure

I am scheduled next month for Pearl Frational. After reading the reviews, now I am skeptical. I noticed that when it's authored by the doctor, they are more likely to have strong opinion of how great they are.but if I want someone who has done, it seems like there are so much more complain.
