Yesterday I was itching like crazy still. I think this is the worst part. The aquarfor contributes to it as every hair and piece of lint sticks to your face and you feel it! It's very sensitive. I slept great the last 2 nights.. I slept on my side and just went ahead and got the greasy gunk on my pillow case. Hey a girl has to her beauty sleep!!!

Today I was still pretty pink/red. I put make up on and did my hair. That didn't last long! LOL! Hair on my face makes it itch more and it's dry. I have been using Clinque Moisture Surge (hypo-allergic) and Emu Oil. I have to apply it about every hour. I have rubbed all the make up off and the hair is pulled back again! I can tell the results are going to be great but I won't be doing this again for many years. The down time and itching is driving me crazy.

Going to work out with my personal trainer today. Planning on taking a wet towel to wipe off the salty sweat!

Yes!!!! Very happy. Looks better every week. It takes 6 months to see the full affect.

Did you find that the procedure has thinned out your skin or caused fat loss? Some message boards on laser are pretty scary yikes!

Here we are about 72 hours out and today is the worst day yet. The itching is horrible!!!! I am using oral antihistamines and topical hydro-cortisone.. NO relief. My skin is peeling like crazy. The itching this time is far worse than the other peels; I am guessing this is because we went deeper?? Just keep my eye on the big picture; it will soon be over and my skin will look great.

Miss exercising and sick of goop on my face!

Thank you so much for the helpful info! I'm trying to decide which type of laser or peel I want to try for anti aging. I had 1 South Beach peel, not impressed. I wonder if this is what you had? As in maybe the same type of laser was used? I can't remember how deep or the micron level mine was. I was told at least 2 was recommended. Mine was $1000 & for results I wouldn't do it again. Thanks for telling us about how you dealt with the pain, too. You look great! :)

Thank you! Mine was done with the Siton Laser. It's called a micro laser peel and it is ablative. This is the deepest we have gone and I think that is why the itch is worse but I also think the results will be better. The highest a mirco-laser peel will go is 50 microns. We did 50 around my mouth (fine wrinkles there), I think on the forehead and then 40 everywhere else but around the eyes which was 15. I have not heard of the South Beach Peel.. I will read about it. I have done the "Perfect Peel" and the "Ultimate Peel" and really liked both of those. They run about $200 and the results are great with very little down time.. and no itch! LOL! Of course they are not as good as doing the micro laser. I won't get another micro laser for a few years.

I'm thinking of getting a nano peel for the first time. How the recovery is for the 30 micron as far as pain & redness the 1st 48 hours? What about result? I'm trying to balance the effectiveness of the treatment but also don't want to be in pain/look crazy for too long. I don't think I'd want to jump to 50 microns. I'm 35 so trying to fight some of the lines around my eyes and mouth. Any insight is appreciated!
