J-Plasma for Face - Dunedin, FL

Well, parts of me certainly look better -- but I must say parts of my face are still in recovery mode. Ears and under chin have had prolonged crusting and swelling. 80% resolved now, I'd say. Face still feels slightly sand-paper-y and tight in spots and dead skin still surfacing now and then. I am going to reserve judgment until the three month mark - at which point I will likely post some kind of picture. My skin is on the dark side of medium and thick. (Italian). May be that lighter skinned types have an easier time of it. This was no picnic. I hope it was money well spent - if so, it will have all been worth it - but honestly, unsure as of it. Will keep you posted!

Lots of dead skin and ick stuff (God knows what) is sloughing from my face. Waking up in the morning is the worst part. The protective face grease dries up overnight and everything feels tight (especially around the eyes) and I can barely open them until I grease up again. The Doc also did under my chin and my earlobes (which is nice!) but they are additional areas to grease up. So basically, I have been a walking grease-bomb. Feel pretty good today (except for the grease-gross which is HARD to get out of your hair when you are trying to be careful of your face.) As I mentioned previously, I am seeing the Doc again Tuesday and will post another update and maybe another picture. Below is a before pic.

I had this procedure on 3/20. Today is 3/24. Recovery has continued to be a gooey mess - still uncomfortable but not painful. Today, however, I feel as if I am turning a corner. Still oozing a bit, but swelling is starting to subside and skin does not feel quite as sunburn-y and annoying. The hideousness I saw in the mirror since day one (which was about a 10 on a scale of 1 - 10) is now about a 7. Progress! Saw Doctor Laufer Friday - he was very supportive and says I am doing fine. Going back to see him in three days at which point I hope to look reasonably human.
