Fractioned CO2 laser peel

Almost all peeling and flaking is over. My skin is smooth and very red, like expected. I went in for the one week “checkup” with Dr. Schneider and bought some foundation called Oxygenist to help with coverage and more healing. I am still using the Avene skin cream called Cilcafate which came in a skin care kit they provided. I do have some pimple-like breakouts, like others have mentioned. But I can definitely see my face has better texture, smoother crows feet, and all the dark spots and precancerous lesions are gone. I know I’ll have to wear mineral sunscreen fanatically and get some Botox to stop future wrinkles. Hopefully, in the months coming, I’ll see some tightening in the jaw and eyes, as collagen builds up. But, t this point, I am satisfied.
To summarize, I had a Deka Dot Fractional CO2 laser at medium aggressive level over the face and eyelids. I also decided to do a Vampire facial where your blood is filtered down to a platelet rich serum and applied back over your face. I took some home to use for the next 24 hours. I think this PRP stuff really helped my skin heal faster too.

Peeling and flaking now. Have switched from vinegar/water soaks and Aquaphor to Avene skin care kit from the dr. Love the cleanser and cicalfate cream, as it is helping skin peel and hopefully heal. Itching not as bad as I had thought , nor was overall swelling.

Swelling has gone down considerably with frequent cold water/vinegar soaks and sleeping upright. Still very red with grid and tracks marks all over my face. No peeling yet. Trying to take it easy and not worry about the outcome. Hydrating and eating lots of fruit, especially pineapple.
