My swelling has finally started going away. For a minute I figured I was going to be stuck as Franny McFatFace until the end of time! My MENDS are surfacing and I’m dry. Washing my face with Elta MD enzyme wash, applying Alastin rejuvenating nectar and Skinceuticals epidermal repair cream. EltaMD sunblock after.

Thank you for posting this. I’ve done a Halo too. I totally know what you mean! I read your comment and laughed out loud when you said Franny Mc, fat face.

I’d love to see how you look & feel about your procedure now. Can you please give us an update? Thank you for sharing!

Thanks for sharing! I’m at 24 hours post procedure and still so swollen even though I’m following instructions to a T. Hoping it’s better tomorrow. Would love a follow up photo of how yours looks a few months later.

Wait! I’m as swollen as you are and on day 3. Did you think it was worth it? What were your results? I want to cry, I’m worried they used too high of a setting.

48 hours post Halo / BBL

GDenver2023March 8, 2023

48 hours after Halo - redness abating. Swelling is receding. The swelling around my eyes is still pretty pronounced and annoying. I’m tired of looking like a cherubic 8 year old at age 51 but I’ve had fun FaceTiming my mom and giggling over my appearance. When it’s cosmetic - no complaining! Starting to get a little itchy.

I'm going in for this same treatment on 3/10 and know I'm going to swell just like you did! Hope your results are amazing!

Yes, me too! It’s difficult to find pictures of swelling post Halo, so I felt the need to create this post. For the record, at 51, my treatment was aggressive. I’ve been taking H1 and H2 histamine blockers. I don’t think they have done much but force me to take several naps. I am shying away from requesting prednisone. Zero pain but the eye puffiness is annoying.
