I had the fractional co2 (lutronic) done Friday afternoon. Today is my third day and I'm still very swollen so my doc prescribed prednisone for the swelling. I hope that helps. Right now my face is like a soccer ball and I'm trying not to panic but it's hard. Did your skin smell weird at all? I've noticed today that my face smells bad. Maybe it's just the dead skin still attached to my face but it all is so foreign to me I can't help but feel worried. I was really hoping I'd be much improved by today but I have a feeling I'm in for a longer recovery than I thought. Would love to hear more about your experience and what to expect. So far I've only genly washed my face with hands and water but that doesn't remove any of the aquaphor. Today I was told to start using a gentle cleanser (like cetaphil). What have you used? Thank you in advance:) /Johanna

How are you feeling/looking now? I'm having the treatment done in a few days and I'm scared! /Johanna
