WORTH IT
I had an amazing doctor here in Calgary (Dr. Andrei Metelitsa dermdocyyc). He is very personable and professional, confident and kind, as well as thorough. So far I am 24 hours in on my C02 laser procedure and I have to say, at the time it hurt but wasn't unbearable. It is a quick procedure with great long term results which is exactly what I want. I will keep posting as it progresses. In the office there is a healing light that is used after the procedure and you can go in to use it anytime to help reduce the redness.

C02 laser update

lovecanada
I am two days in and my swelling has reduced a little and I am very red but this is what happens after C02 fractional laser and is expected. I am unable to go out in public as I don't look great, but I am feeling perfectly normal, no soreness at all.. just quite "ugly" as I am swollen and red. I am so pleased so far with everything, and the aftercare creams provided/cleansing provided is quite easy and working well. I can't wait to see the final results. I know this procedure has some downtime but it is worth it in the long run as your youth is restored and permanent if you take care with sunscreens and hats in the sun. Here are some pictures, it is way less harsh than it looks

So far so good, I am still very red as expected but my skin is amazing and my lines on my face are greatly reduced almost to nothing. It is only day 6 so stay tuned! Also i went to a board certified doctor / dermatologist, and not just an esthetician. That makes a huge difference
