Ok I just had Active FX done last Tuesday so 4 days later my skin is more like a lizards and very slow to slough off. Doc did a once over and then he did say he did another light pass. I am reading that that is not usual I think. I was going for getting rid of dark spots, light wrinkles and an overall subtle "fix" for now at age 54. Not wanting to do anything more drastic. The itching started and I find myself washing several times a day. Between the greasy after cream and the tiny pieces of skin, yuk! I feel compelled to wash my face. I know I am not supposed to help it along but has anybody had a case where the old brown/dark red yukky skin jet sits there? At this rate it'll take me 3 weeks before I am down to just new pink skin. So far I am not judging, my face/neck is blotchy, very red and darker in places, the pattern is noticeable and I am worried this was a mistake. BUT only on day 4 if I don't count procedure day. I look like a lot of the pics but my Day 4 doesn't look like much sloughing is occurring. The heavy after cream kind of holds the skin there seems to me. Any suggestions? Thanks.
