Day 6 update
I still have patchy redness on my face from the laser but it's slowly calming down. I feel that my healing has been pretty good considering how I looked only a few days ago.
The stitches are coming out tomorrow morning and I will be heading back to Vancouver tomorrow evening. I am happy to have the stitches out so I can see what my eyes look like and also because they are quite itchy and it's uncomfortable not being able to fully open my eyes. So far I am pleased with my recovery and excited to see my results!

Day 4 update
By day 4 most of the crusting had come off. My skin was still really red especially on the areas where I had the CO2 laser. I felt a bit more discomfort around my eyes today - not pain but more of a bruised or achey feeling, especially when blinking. I would say that for me at least the recovery was pretty painless without the need for any pain medication which was a really nice surprise!

Day 3 Update
On day 3 I noticed that quite a bit of crusting had come off after I did my morning vinegar soaks. My face was pretty red underneath. Some of the swelling had gone down and I still wasn't in any significant discomfort. I also felt in a much better spirits through the day and my energy and appetite had come back to some extent.
I feel like this day was a turning point in my healing since by night-time most of the crusting had come off and my skin was starting to calm down. The swelling around my eyes and face was also a lot better. It was really shocking to see the difference between the morning and night of day 3 and I was amazed by how much healing happened this day.
