I had this procedure done yesterday. I will change my "was is worth it" after a week or two. It is too soon to rate it today :-) I will try to update photos and my experience daily. I am 49 years old and did the procedure to reduce/get rid of wrinkles. The procedure was painful but tolerable. After the procedure though my face felt like it was on fire for about 6 hours...I had to sit in front of an air conditioner fan the entire time.

Right after procedure and the next day

My face felt like it was on fire for about 6 hours after the procedure. I had it done at about 5:30 in the evening. I had to sit in front of the fan until about 11:00 pm. I slept on the couch, upright, to reduce the swelling. I washed my face for the first time today and reapplied the Hydrabalm. My face has been oozing and I have some blood in some spots.

I am so glad that you joined us and decided to share your experience with CO2! I look forward to your progress updates - happy healing!

Thank you for taking the time to post your results. I have seen a few postings, but mainly they are a year or two old. Seeing recent results will be great! I hope you are healing well and will receive the outcomes you looking for.

You are welcome. I decided to share my experience after reading so many others. I really think the healing process depends on the laser and the setting used. Through research I found not all CO2 lasers are the same.

that's what I am realizing as I have reviewed different profiles. I am excited to learn about your experience and how happy you are with the results. What type of CO2 laser treatment did you have done?

Day Two - 48 hours after procedure

I didn't have any pain today with the exception of when I washed my face this morning. I found placing a wet washcloth on my face before using cleanser seems to get the "goo" to soften up. After washing, my face felt "raw" but felt much better after putting Hydrabalm on it. It's tough to see from the photos but I still have some oozing and a few spots of blood.

After my terrible outcome from a laser, I feel you did wonderfully so far. I'd live to see how you're doing.

I'm sorry you had a terrible outcome. After doing a lot of research, I have come to learn that the type of machine used, the setting and the doctor have a lot to do with the outcome. I am crossing my fingers that I have a good outcome. I'll keep you posted :-)
