I had my first treatment today on my face and neck. Although the procedure was fairly painless, the post pain is what hurt the most. They explained to me it would feel like a bad sunburn for a couple of hours, it did. However, it's been 9 hours since my procedure and I still have moderate pain in my lower neck area. It is quite red and looks like a bad burn. I also have some mild discomfort on my upper lip, but don't know if this is because I had laser hair removal in that area roughly about 3 weeks ago. Already dark spots are appearing on my cheekbones and I also have burn marks on my forehead that seem the same shape as the fotofacial head that touches my skin, and that still has a moderate burn sensation going on. I purchased a package and have two more procedures to go. Not looking forward to them if the pain will be this uncomfortable. On a scale of 1-10 I would put it at a 3-4 right now.
