  PS - I have had no pain. I just look horrendous!

  I am only on day 3 now, and I still have a few red grid marks. The swelling has gone down a lot (thank goodness) so I am expecting to peel soon. I'll keep you posted and comment back in a few days. I am sorry you are still dealing with raised marks - have you tried microdermabrasion?

  I had the DOT laser 2 days ago on my eye and cheek area to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I am 44, very thin, and feel like I am aging prematurely, Anyway, the procedure experience was similar to other posts above, numbing cream for an hour, 5-10 minutes of uncomfortable laser stinging, followed by slight swelling and redness after. HOWEVER, the first morning I woke up my eyes were swollen shut!!! It got better as the day went on and then morning 2 they were even worse!!! Definitely goes down during the day but I look like an alien due to the excessive swelling. I have to go to work in 2 more days and I imagine I will look like a red, scaly, swollen snake woman.......AND, I am supposed to go back for a 2nd treatment in 2 weeks - YIKES!!!! Hopefully, this will all be worth it. :-)
