Just had my first removal session last night! I got numbing cream plus lidocaine shots, so thankfully it wasn't awful. BUT after everything wore off I was definitely in pain and with the location it's hard to comfortably sit or lay down. The nursed used the Harmony XL Q Switch laser and my next appt. is in 8 weeks (March).

Today it's just puffy, a tad red and bleeding (all over my work shirt!). I will post a pic later!

Great review?

Nicole was really sweet, and helped me relax during all of the pain! She also told me everything I needed to know for the treatment and the aftercare. I highly recommend going to Dr.Chapin's office!

So glad to hear it wasn't all that painful while you were having it done!

What a bummer that its bleeding on your work shirt. Are you able to put a very loose bandage over the area? Maybe some gauze with medical tape around the edges??
