“Active FX - Worth It So Far”

I am 45 yrs old and had Active FX done 2 days ago. I was put to sleep which I think was great considering reviews from people who were awake.

When I awoke after the procedure they already had my face iced and lubricated. I went home and continued to ice all day and night as well as lubricate with Acquafor. I did not feel any pain although I was uncomfortable because I had to continually keep icing and lubricating. This is really key as you keep the swelling down and the lubricant keeps it from drying.

I did not look so bad Day 1. Day 2 I woke and did not see any swelling, I was very brown. Again I have been lubricating constantly as this is very important to healing. Day 3 I already feel the skin wanting to slough off. I am not peeling this off I am still constantly lubricating and I am going back to the doctors tomorrow and they are going to take care of this for me.

I cannot say enough about how important your choice of doctor is. My doctor and his staff are terrific. They know what they are doing and have called twice to see how I am doing and to answer any questions. I can see already that my skin is smoother and wrinkles are barely visible at all. I will update again after tomorrow's doctor's visit.
