“2nd Treatment and Results Are Good”
Bought package of 2 for $2100 including post treatment lotions. Day one was great, I could have gone to work. I was numb and if you looked closely, I had the little white dots. Day 2 was still ok, still had good numbing effect and little redness. Day 3 was tomato red and so itchy that my throat itched. Hydrocortisone 1% helped by 80% on the itching.
I took all my meds as told and applied lotions as told. Fourth day I peeled a sheet of skin off my nose, lips and forehead and they looked good. I had to use alot of the cool down lotion for the burning and itching and dryness. Day 5 I was still red and peeling and kept putting on lotion and numbing cream. Went outside with a hat, sunglasses and sunscreen and was very uncomfortable.
Days 6, 7,8 most peeling done, but have bumpy white heads like razor burn and it itches. There is a reddish razor burn look like a frame around my upper forehead, sideburns and chin edge. I never swelled or seeped. I just itched. I am wondering if I will clear up by day 10 as I go back to work from Spring Break.
I just look like either I waxed my hairy chin or used greasy hair product and broke out. The rest of face looks almost normal. I wonder if I could use acne medication to speed it up but I will not take the chance. Just wondering if I should plan the second treatment to be more or less severe. I definately needed a full week off work this time. I did it to tighten and look younger.

Thighten, acne scars, wrinkles
pros- quick recovery , good results
cons- redness is hard to hide and you get funny corner marks while healing and you can tell it's not from a sunburn but a procedure
