Hi guys, so i have gone ahead with the palomar starlux fractional 1540 laser and i have just had my first treatment today. It cost £900.00 GBP When i entereted the clinic, they were quite polite and i then was called by the nurse who was carrying out my treatment. So first i was told to place a ice pack on the areas i was getting the laser done. This was to cool down the area. So once the area was cooled the nurse began the laser. The laser was not painful, it felt like a small prik to the skin and it was bearable. you get used to the feeling after a while. However after the session is complete you do feel a stinging senssation and heat which is expectected. I was told to apply the Alovera Gel to my skin and then place the ice pack to cool down it down. i then returned home once i felt the redness went away, i had a little redness so it was good coz my skin is not so sensative. now i am home and my skin is fine no redness no swelling, just can feel the heat slightly. my next treatment is on the 9th of march and i will let u guys nw how that went to. At the moment i dont see too much of a change but this is what i was told to expect so its okay. it will porgress.

Even though you can't see if there were any results yet it sounds like it was a pretty good experience. Will be looking forward to hearing how things go after your next appointment. :)

right guys, so i had my second treatment yesterday. This time the pain was more and lasted longer as the nurse turned the power up to 3 this time round. After she had compleyed the process my face was very sore red and stinging, but after applying an ice pack for a long period of time it cooled down.this time round my face stayed red for the entire day, but not extremly red. the nurse told me that after my second treatment i will start to c changes, and i have woken up today and looked at my face in the mirror and seena slight change as the dints do seemed reduced. So i am hhappy with my results so far and it was worth the pain. Therefore i would stil reccoment the treatment. My next treatment is on the 4th of april and i will keep u guys updated on that too . HOPE THIS HELPS [RS bleep]
