Was nervous. Last nite took one Valacyclovir to prevent cold sores, at office took hydrocodone for pain & one lorazepam made me drouzy. Had numbing gel for an hr before procedure. Dr was aggressive around mouth and lower face area, less so rest of face. The aggressive areas did hurt some, about 4 seconds each time, but tolerable. Other areas were nothing compared.

Took taxi home and went right to bed to sleep. Mild burning, not much. After sleeping a few hours no pain, some swelling, some oozing/blood, still droozy.

Thanks so much for posting pictures - its really helpful to be able to see. I'm glad they gave you medicine to help make the treatment more tolerable.
From the pictures it looks like you are healing up well. Good tip on the headband for others who will be trying this. I can see how having your hair completely off your face would probably feel much better.
Looking forward to hearing another update from you!
