Who was your provider in San Antonio? I am wanting to have this done.

I had DOT Laser resurfacing 13 days ago. The first few days my face swelled and was red and itchy. I used gobs of Aquaphor for 4 days, washed with a very mild "intolerant skin" cleanser at night and used a "restorative skin cream" plus Aquaphor overnight. Most of the dead skin had peeled off and swelling gone down by day 5. After the 4th day, I was instructed to use a "lipid recovery cream" instead of Aquaphor, but it stung my face so badly I had to wash it off. I saw my doctor the next day and she gave me a sample of a different cream to use until my face could tolerate the lipid recovery cream. It was fine by the 6th day and I was able to wear make-up again. My face looks good -- baby soft, pale pink skin and no brown spots -- but now I'm dealing with a terrible break out around the mouth and chin area. Assume it's from all that Aquaphor. I am satisfied with the results, although I still have several deep wrinkles on my forehead, upper lip and sides of the mouth. Plan to get botox for forehead wrinkles and retin- A to further reduce wrinkles on upper lip. My procedure cost $900 plus $69 for the after-care cleaner and creams. This seems a lot less expensive than others who have posted here. Not sure I'd pay $5,000 for it.

How are you now? Please let me know what your outcome is.
