Had the total FX treatment yesterday. I was very nervous so they gave me a valium, Percocet and Xanax. Most of it was bearable but a few times it really hurt. I am exited to see my results from this procedure.
I will post day to day photos to see outcome! I have been looking forward to this for a very long time.

Day 2 - VERY ITCHY

Here are my pictures on day 2. The word for the day is ITCHY !!! I cant keep my hands off of my face. My spirits are high and I am excited to see results. Trying to keep myself busy at home. I went out last night to the post office just to get out of the house. I am now a night crawler. My procedure is looking pretty bad today. Swelling is going down fast, but the itching. lol

Day 3 - PEELING LIKE CRAZY

susanm88
So yesterday I was able to take Benadryl and it seemed to help with the itching but I still did not sleep well rubbing my face all night. When I awoke this morning my face was really peeling. I could not wait to take a warm shower and soak my face in the warm water. It is still itchy but nothing like yesterday. About half my face has peeled and I am actually counting the days before I can go out in public. I feel like a butterfly coming out of its cocoon. I feel good and have no pain. My face feels warm to the touch but that is about it.

You're doing great! The itchy stage is annoying, glad you're finding some relief from it. ☺
