Started developing brown discoloration along my upper lip and right cheek that were bothersome and difficult to hide. Have already been getting laser vein removal for rosacea so I decided to combine treatments with the Fraxel laser upon recommendation from my plastic surgeon. Today is day one!

The procedure was a little more painful than anticipated (though I did turn down the painkiller because I drove myself) and the smell of burning skin was a little offsetting. But my technician was wonderful; took breaks when I needed and made sure to make sure I was as comfortable as possible!

Face feels super dry and tight, no pain just uncomfortable. Spraying every coupke hours with vinegar spray and applying afterbalm helps.

As a side note I have been taling Benadryl (to help with itching during healing) and applying Phytocorrective Gel (kept in fridge so it is cooling)

Woke up with a SUPER dry face and itchy! Took a Benadryl and slathered my face in vaseline which helped. Now able tonwash with a gentle face wash which is helping to remove some of the dry skin. Still using the chilled Phytocorrective Gel which helps soothe the mild irritation. Along the lipline is the worst-lots of flaking and dryness....
