I had the laser around my eyes and upper lip the doctor also done around my mouth and chin area. This was very painful my face burned like it was on fire just after. This is the day after and it is not to bad. I have swelling of my eyes and lips. We just have to see how it goes from here. I am glad I did it but I know I will not do it again.The reason I say undecided I have not healed yet.

Hi lala,
I'm glad the doctor sent you home with stuff to help you heal. I'm not positive how long it takes to heal, but other community members have mentioned sometime before 7 to 14 days. However, I do know it all depends you your body. How are you doing today?
Thanks,

Hi lala,
Welcome to the Co2 community. Well, I'm glad your face is feeling a bit better than yesterday. Many community members have had to put ice packs on their face because of the burning feeling. Also some have mentioned the use of Aquaphore and they say it seems to help. How long had you been thinking about having the procedure. I completely understand the "undecided" I hope you will be able to change it to a "worth it" in a few days. Please keep us updated.
Thanks,
-Britt
