Omg. So 11th September I had my first treatment of sublative rejuvenation. The numbing cream they apply lasts about 1 minute after they wipe it off. At first it felt like tiny little needles jabbing my face, kind of like a tattoo feeling. After the numbing cream wore of I could start to feel the heat from the laser, and omg. It wasn't "I'm going to die" pain but it hurt. My eyes watered and I winced every time she hit me with laser. After it was done, she applied ice packs, that was the best feeling in the world.
I left and about 5 minutes later, my face was on fire. I literally felt like my face was burning. I bought avene water spray and sprayed my face every 30 seconds for about 20 minutes. When I got home, I got ice packs and held them on my face for like an hour. I took some nurofen and after a while it didn't hurt so much. Kind of turned into a Throbbing and I eventually got used to the pain. After about 2 hours it didn't hurt, so I checked out my face in the mirror and it was still very red.i then had a nap and when I woke up, checked again. The redness went down and I then had tiny red spots that had a little bit of blood at the tip of each hole where the laser hit me.
It's now the next morning, redness and pain are gone but now i look like a tiny fly swatter has attacked me. I have attached photos of the morning after. This is what to expect the next day. I'm not leaving the house haha

Did it work?

well it's been 2 days so we'll see. I was told the marks would go brown after 2-3 days and it's already gone brown so I think my face is healing nicely. Just have to make sure you have 1000mg of vitamin c a day, I also use creams they gave me from "advanced dermatology" that's a super youth cream and another one in the morning then at night use two different creams. Stay out of the sun and moisturise. After I had it done I didn't moisturise until the next day as you need to let your skin breath for 24 hours.

I had my first one done on the 10th. I went med-high. it was painful. I was very red too. But Wow yours looked pretty harsh. I haven't post my review yet waiting till all is good.

Yeah mine was in the highest setting so I guess that's why mine was so intense.

I just had my treatment yesterday, and o me it hurt like my face was bitten by 100 ants at the same time, but it wasn't as hurtful as I thought it would be. How long was the numbing cream applied to your face, by the way? Because my doctor said the longer it stays, the less painful the treatment will be.

And today I wake up with the same redness you have, but I think for a guy like me, nobody's going to pay attention when I'm out lol.
I kind of already saw some improvement, though. Sometimes, when I put a white light from specific angle, all scars would appear, and now after the treatment it's not as visible as the pre-treatment. I think I'll have my second one.

Did ur face ever get better??????????
October 11, 2015
Well, that was my first treatment. normally it takes 4-5 treatments. so my face is still scarred etc but hopefully after all 4 treatments it will look better.

any update

Just had my second treatment 3 days ago. My skin heals very quickly so I guess I'm lucky. I changed numbing cream which kind of helped. I didn't leave it on long enough though. As I've only had two treatments I haven't noticed a change yet but other people say they noticed my skin looked better.

I was wondering if it was a doctor who performed the procedure on you, and whether you needed a referral letter. Thanks
March 8, 2016
My doctor is in Bondi junction Sydney NSW. I only know her by her first name which is Florina haha. I didn't need a referral though
March 16, 2016
I actually went for an appointment with her today! She was so lovely. How are you finding your results so far? I'm really looking forward to this treatment
March 16, 2016
She is lovely. Gives me a hug every time coz I always take pain like a little girl. I have people comment that my skin looks better but I've still got a while to go before my skin will be "fixed"
March 16, 2016
That sounds very promising! What level did she put the setting, do you know?
Also, how much was each session?
They're having a deal that ends tomorrow, buy 3 get 1 free at $640 each.
March 16, 2016
I had a deal as well. I think it was a bit cheaper than the current deal. She had it on the highest setting as my skin was very red and crazy.

Are you happy with the results?
