I had Dot Laser treatment on my face, neck and chest three days ago. I didn't feel real pain, only discomfort that was easily tolerated. I used the gel and cream that the doctor prescribed but on day two I switched to Aquafor. This morning I took my first shower and gently washed my face, etc. The shower felt much better than I would have thought (I assumed the warm water would really hurt). I'm starting to peel and I can definitely see the grid patterns which is a little scary but like the other reviewers have stated, I am not too concerned. The doctor has assured me they will go away soon. I'm being realistic about my recovery and would assume I'll look "normal" in two weeks or so and then will continue to see improvements for several months. I think this was a good value for me. I have had a facelift (8 years ago) and although my results have remained good, I didn't want to repeat the expense, etc. I'm excited about what the next few months will bring and am expecting the results to last for several years (with the help of sunblock).
