    Hi there I had my 3rd Pixel treament done yesterday. I have recieved awesome results. My first treatment I freaked out...my face looked so swollen i couldnt open my eyes couldnt take cuz my cheaks swelled up. But that was my mistake i came home and went to sleep thinking my face would stop buring...*Gravity has a lot to do with this procedure* so SIT SIT SIT STAND STAND STAND.... However;
    I love my Dermatologist and his assistant they were there for me every time I called him.

    Caution: after you get ur treatment DO NOT come home and lay down. Matter of fact the first night try to kinda prop pillows behind ur head (like ur semi sitting) it will help you and you wont swell as much.
    1. Your face will only burn for about an hour but sit in front of a fan for that time DO NOT use ice packs "it makes burning worse".

    2.the more you sit the less swelling you will get.

    3. Also my doctor had given me a numbing cream to apply to my face (ask ur derm) so during the procedure my face is numb and i dont feel the sharp needle feeling.

    4. also use a lot of mosturizer start at night time. i bought the big jar of cerave @ walmart and he gave me b5 get to apply on my face before lotion.

    your skin will feel very dry and stretchy. Apply a lot of mosturizer... i cant stress enough enough. The more you apply the better your results will be. the faster your pixel will come off Also after your entir pixel has came off invest in vitamin C gel. you can buy it from walmart its about $12-16 i believe. you will get a nice glow and clear skin. also take ibuprofen and ask for predinose for swelling. during the entire Pixel Laser take vitamin C it will help with healing. and plus will make ur following treatments easier and less painful and faster recovery. DO NOT wear makeup at all. Stay indoors if you go out wear SPF 30 and a hat. YOU will look super crazy wearing a big beach hat in winter time but its your face not anyone elses.
    if you would like any other tip please just ask ill be more than happy to answer them.

    Also make ur appt 2 wks apart. and try to scheduel them during winter. less sun is out and u will achieve better results. =) good luck
