Had CO2 Micro Fractional Resurfacing This Afternoon

ORIGINAL POST

I just had my CO2 resurfacing this afternoon....

WORTH IT$2,000

I just had my CO2 resurfacing this afternoon. Despite the numbing cream and dental blocks to numb my face, it still was quite uncomfortable at times. It was tolerable but uncomfortable, especially around my eyes.

It's been about 5 hours and my eyes are quite swollen but no pain or discomfort at all. Skin feels tight so I keep applying the Eucerin like instructed. They said to expect more swelling tomorrow but I hope not. Overall not that bad so far. Will post progress.

Day 3 update The swelling around my eyes finally went down and looks much better. Skin is flaking off like crazy and is still very red. I plan to return to work tomorrow so I will experiment with cosmetics this evening before washing. I sure hope this was worth it.
Day 4 update Back to work, look great, couldn't be happier. I can't believe that in just 4 short days I look 100 times better and no more crow's feet!! I'm very happy with the results.
Where did you get your laser resurfacing done?
Dr. Castello
I'm having this done on Friday, I'm feeling much better about it after reading your posts!
Good luck to you! It's not a picnic by any means but thankfully its short.
I notice it has been over a month since you had this done. Are you please? On a scale 1 to 10 how would you rate this procedure? Do you recommend your DR? Can you tell me their name? Andcan I ask your age?
