Received my CO2 laser treatment yesterday for some facial imperfections. Essentially painless save for some slight pain with the freezing needle. I insisted on a doctor performing it rather than an RN, and I am glad I did. She was quick and confident with her movements and that put me at ease. The entire procedure took about 10 minutes for 7 imperfections. On the drive home I could feel a little pain in areas where there wasn't as much fat on my face (my forehead specifically), however this dissipated and I even fell asleep with no pain. I made sure to polysporin and bandage my face before bedtime to prevent scratching. Woke up this morning feeling fine. Will post update pictures soon.
