Worth It
Spent: $3,000 in Clearwater, Florida, USA
I had CO2 facial resurfacing 6 weeks ago. Although I am still pretty red I tink the results are definately worth it. Please be prepared to follow the instructions to the letter and if you are not a person who can stick to a routine, don't do it. I did not think it was painful, just itchy and felt like a sun burn but the vinegar/water solution and aquaphor helped. The aquaphor is a major pain as it gets on everything. I would like to ask others for comments as I woke up this morning and it looks like I have small red scratches on one cheek and along the hairline beside each eye. Not sure if this is normal. I have applied sun screen and avoided the sun but I am wondering if this is any type of sun damage. I am glad I did it as the lines around my lips are almost nonexistent and the skin is tightening around my jaw line. I just turned 64 and the staff at the movie theater questioned my being 60 when I wanted to join their senior movie club. That was fun!

I had CO2 laser about 9 yrs. ago and my skin is still good, as I have maintained a good skin regimine and used a good sun block. It's worth all the hassle with the down time. Maybe you scratched your face in your sleep, which might account for the scratches. I woke up at night scratching my face and ultimately had to go on prednisone. I don't see how your scratches could be from the sun.

What type of laser did you have? Was it Active FX?

Would like to know the name of the doctor who performed the procedure. I just got an estimate of 6100.00 from a Tampa facility.
