“Profractional Follow Up Question”

Profractional will not give you the dramatic results of a full CO2 laser. You will see an improvement in your skin to see full results you have to wait at least 4 months. With Profracional you do need more than treatment and It is better if you get it done in the full face. Good luck and keep us updated.

I had the profractional done to my entire face. I used emla cream (to numb the skin) and found the first treatment not too painful.I had some swelling and definately bruising afterwards, My second treatment was about 6 weeks later. For some reason I found it to be very painful this go around. So much so that they had to decrease the depth from the last time I had it. Don't know why this happened (anyone had the same experiance?)You MUST wait for results. One day about 6 months later I was looking in the mirrow and realized that the lines around my eyes and creppiness in my neck were diminished! I personally don't mind waiting for results. It gives me something to look forward to. Usually I see the "future" as an enemy (as in it means I am only getting older and more "wrinkelly"). This way I see the future as only getting better skin! I would do it again! I just wish it wasn't so painful.(anyone out there have any suggestions to make it more tolerable?)

Thank you for the update. I am very glad that you are seeing results. I have had other things (skin tightening) and did experienced the pain to be different every time. Now I know better to drink plenty of water the night before and to take pain killers 30 minutes before the treatments. Please keep us updated on your progress, since a lot us wish for immediate results and don't give the skin enought time to show full results. You also want to get results that last!

I had the profractional done to my entire face 2 weeks ago, I was slightly uncomfortable for 2 days and was able to cover redness with makeup. I had mine done on Thursday pm and was back to work on Monday. No Problems, would do again

I just had my treatment done Thursday. It itches so bad. What did you use? I have the suave they game me, like a vaseline. But it still itches like crazy. I still am pretty red and some swelling around the eyes. Not ready to go anywhere. Hopefully tomorrow I can put on some make up. Tired of being in the house.
