Today I had my Halo procedure...I applied the numbing cream at 9am procedure was at 10am. It was prickly feeling and at times hurt a little, hard to breath when that machine was near my nose,but overall not much pain...the worst of it was after, it was cold outside and I had to blast the air conditioner on in my car in the winter on my face, this lasted about 1 hour...thank God I had to drive home about 40 minutes so most of my trip was with the air conditioner on and it cooled it down. I took a Benadryl and an anti inflammatory about a half an hour after I got home. My face is red and swollen. I don't know how I will sleep tonight more to come...

Today I feel pretty good, My face is swollen again, but nothing hurts..
After yesterday about 3pm I felt good...no facial burn and no swelling after the
Benadryl...Heads up Benadryl makes you very sleepy take antiflammatories if you can. I washed my face last night applied Nectar again, and this morning I applied the Nectar and it was nice..Skin feels a little rough and dry...not red and swollen like yesterday. I think if you can get through day 1 you are good to go.. The days to follow are pretty much the normal healing process, taking the meds too which people don't usually talk about the Acyclover 400 mg twice a day to prevent cold sores...

So overall was left with a clean fresh face feeling, I wouldn't say it removed any acne marks just basically removed unevenness of skin pigmentation and freckles or blotches but I really didn't have those issues...I wanted more of an acne scar target...that I didn't get..I love the way my skin looks now it does seem to glow and have that pure look...everyone has different results, Id say I like mine right now..but I dont know if its worth the price, I have a second one scheduled this year in 2017, thinking I should do my neck area...since it didn't really do a major overhaul on my face...Im gonna ponder this idea..

Im updating my review, at first I really didn't see the great results, after a few months of healing I have a beautiful glow and also, my skin is totally renewed fresh and soft...its like baby skin...you can't really see the results until months later..Id say if you can afford it for women over 40 its a perfect move....
