2nd Treatment

WORTH IT$999
The results from the first treatment definitely minimized the scars but they were far from what I hoped for. I went in for a follow up 6 months post op and the laser tech offered to do a 2nd treatment for free. I decided to schedule that appointment now so that it is healed by the summer. I was way more prepared this time around. I requested to do a much smaller area so that I can care for it on my own. Also, so I can sleep on my back. I've made sure to keep it moist and I have to say this time around is not so bad. Maybe because I knew exactly what I was getting myself into? I'll try to post picture updates so that you have something to compare these to.

Day 6: I had a hard time at work yesterday not only because of the burning and itch but also because I cannot easily appliy aquaphor or cetaphil by myself. I had trouble finding a shirt to cover every area so I told a lot of people it was sunburn. :/ For today I convinced my boss to let me work from home. It does feel quite a bit better. It is peeling quite a bit. Also, for those having trouble with the itch the Allegra, Ibuprofen and hydrcortison mix is working wonders! I think it was so painful and uncomfortable initally because it wasn't moist enough. My shirts tend to soak up ointments. A dry itch is not fun!

Thanks for posting! How are you doing now? Did the brown marks fade?

6 months post and the laser marks are starting to fade significantly. I'm considering a 2nd treatment because my stretch marks faded a little but are definitely still visible. If I do a 2nd treatment I only want a small area covered. Not doing the full shoulder again.

Keep us posted if you do go again, we'd love to hear if you can get the marks to fade some more. :)

Day 2: Day two there was still a lot of burning, swelling and a little bleeding. It is also turning a brownish yellow color in areas which I read is not good. I'm wondering if that is because I was not rinsed or washed initially after the treatment. Also, I was told not to wash for 24-36 hours. This was really really hard for me to do.
