CO2 Laser

There were not many pictures of each step of a CO2 laser recovery so i decided to post. Please note I also had some fat transferred and my chin liposuctioned. I am still swollen but getting better each day. I did spend several of the worst days using washcloths soaked in ice water to help ease the swelling.

Continuing to heal

Every day the swelling is going down. Very happy with the texture of my skin. I still have marks from the laser but will be adding the bleaching cream back to my repertoire tomorrow. Face feels tight and is still a little flaky but I am happy overall!

I highly recommend Dr Henderson if you live in the Seattle area. Very good sense of what she can do and how to make you a better version of yourself instead of a completely different person.

I am glad that posting the progression is helpful to some people. I am posting day 19. I am getting some redness and pigmentation changes. My PS said this could happen so I am back on Bleaching cream. I am heading to Atlanta for some warm weather and have sunscreen on all the time.
