It has been almost 2 months post procedure and I'm not entirely sure if there has been meaningful change -- certainly any change was very subtle. Just thought I'd add this in case anyone is following my story.
I wanted to share that at 2.5 weeks after the procedure the pain went away at the 14 day mark although there is itching in the treatment area from time to time.
For those who are going through the procedure the worst of the pain for me was in days 6-9.
I'm thinking about changing my review to "worth it" since (I think) I have seen subtle changes. I'll give it another week or so to be sure.
I had sharp pains starting at day 6, called my surgeon who said, "this is normal."
I'm at day 10 and the sharper pain has subsided -- I just have itchiness and some soreness in the treated area. I've been told to expect that by Saturday -- two weeks -- this largely goes away.
A quick update: at day 6-7 the itching and sudden zaps of pain increased. Again, not unbearable but uncomfortable enough to get me to call my doctor and make sure this was normal -- he says it is. Looks like from other posts the pain goes away at around 12-14 days. We'll see!

I'm changing my review back to "not sure."

My strong hunch is our experience is the norm.

After watching video clips where people say, "it feels like a massage!" I thought I was the one being a baby.
By the way, despite my discussion of the after effects I would do the process again... if I see results. Time will tell.
