Arrived half hour early so they went ahead and put on numbing creme after having me wash my face with special solution. Waited 1..5 hours (right at my appt time) the girl collected me (I will post her name when I remember it) and took me upstairs to the treatment room. Very pleasant conversationalist and seemed an expert at the procedure. She listened to my facial areas of concern, wiped my face with achoal and got started. She was very good with the instrument and keep a light conversation going while asking me how I was doing now and then. Overall the procedure was just a tad bit painful and only in certain spots. Pain 1-10 it was a 1.5 and only occasionally.

Took an anti-viral just after and will take one tonight then two per day. I purchased the medical grade recovery skin after care package as well.

I've been home about three hours and there is no pain and just a bit of swelling. As I understand it most of the swelling will occur overnight and I might be a balloon head in the morning. I have 11 days off for recovery, wish me luck.

I purchased a Groupon deal for this procedure. Cost was right and they treated me like I paid full price. That's pretty darn cool!

Day Two: Lots of swelling, don't recognize myself in the mirror. Absolutely no pain or discomfort at all other than the feel of the gel I keep on my face.

Thank you for sharing your review.  It's nice that you have 11 days to recover:)

Keep us up to date on how the healing is going from day to day.

Day 4

A lot of the swelling has gone away but still super puffy. Itching quite a bit (healing symptom). Using a plastic fork with dull tines to gently stroke when super itchy, it is working well. Couple of xanax here and there to lessen the itch intensity. However, no pain whatsoever!

The washing is going well, I am being super gentle (hope that is correct way). This morning after washing I noticed a lot of peeling skin when replacing the lubricating gel on my face. Good sign I think. Overall, can't really see any under skin yet but very hopeful of the outcome.

I posted my 4 day pic.

Day 5

A ton of shedding occurred overnight in my sleep. Mostly my chin area is completely peeled off now showing promising pink skin underneath. Not really uncomfortable just ready to fully peel so the sandpaper feel is all gone. :)

Still swollen a bit (wish some of the swell look would last!). :)

I'll report back tomorrow.
