Final Fraxel treatment today
J.P.74November 22, 2014
$1,500
Originally, I had my last procedure scheduled for Friday, Oct. 31st, but in the spirit of Halloween, I decided to postpone the last Fraxel I'd have until today. Out of all three procedures, this one was the most painful/uncomfortable, perhaps the outer layers of skin have been stripped away in previous procedures, making me extra sensitive.
Much like the first time, today I had no swelling and zero pain afterward. In fact, I had much more swelling during the 2nd procedure. Today's procedure, although the most painful, was by far the easiest in the aftermath.
Looking forward to posting before/after photos in about 6 weeks when I go to my final appt. for the pics

Swelling is completely gone but I have redness and flaking plus slight acne on my lower jaw/chin area. Am trying not to pick. Other than that, no discomfort but I do feel unattractive right now....

Fraxel: Second of Three Treatments: Post-Treatment, Day 2
J.P.74October 5, 2014
The healing process is happening much more quickly after this last treatment. It took 3-4 days for redness and sloughing off of the dead skin to begin. This time around, it's happened less than 48 hrs. post procedure. I am still swollen under the eye area and my skin is getting progressively drier with each passing hour so I'm trying to keep moisturized as best I can and drink lots of water.
I can see the sloughing off of the dead skin cells already and I'm feeling a tinge of burning/itching sensation primarily around the lower jaw/chin area. I'm tying like hell not to scratch. I've also got some small white heads that have cropped up around this same area and its taking all the self control I've got not to pop them.
All around, I have no pain or discomfort. Just dryness, minor swelling and some itchiness.
