I had my CO2 Laser treatment on my face 12 days...
WORTH IT$1,130
I had my CO2 Laser treatment on my face 12 days ago .
The Dr from Hale was reassuring and so lovely . The nurse put the cream all over my face then 40 mins later the Dr injected 6 pain dental numbing injections into my mouth area.
This went numb very quickly.
I was very apprehensive at the time the dr started the laser on my mouth area , but because if the injections I left nothing , around my mouth or chin area.
But as soon as he started on my forehead and eyes , I then felt quiet a lot of pain / discomfort .
I left the clinic feeling very happy after it was all over .
The next 6 days were the worse , scabs and eyes all puffed up . I put the cream in that the dr prescribed for me plus , antibiotics for infections and cold sores .
You will see over the next 10 days how I'm heeling .
Hated the nights as laying on my back I hated and the itchiness for 8 days unbearable.
I Love love the way my face looks like now , my skin looks amazing .
But I would never have it done again.

You look absolutely fantastic. I'm scheduled for one in June but I've been getting nervous the more I think about it. Would you be willing to post a before pic so that we can see how much has changed?

Aww ty jmthaw
I would consider sedation , or dental injections .
Only as I've been through it and found it unbearable at times , wanted him to stop.
You'll look amazing I'm sure .
Yes I'll post one

Hi - I had the the CO2 Fractional laser last Thursday. It is now Tuesday and I am still swollen with a red, itchy face. How long did it take for your swelling to go down and the skin to peel off?
March 16, 2017
Hi
It took about 14 days for the swelling to subside.
The skin didn't peel off after the scabs came off
I'm guessing it all peeled off under the scabs

I didn't have any scabs, just massive swelling and redness. The swelling is going down, and the redness is breaking up. Thanks for your reply - you look gorgeous!

I think I had the scabs because I wasn't to wash my face for the 5 days
But it smelt so bad .
Happy it's all over with now.
You were very lucky

It looks like you had a mid face lift ??
Excellent result to your overall appearance? Skin looks amazing.

You look great. I just had erbium on my face 2 days ago and am starting the ITCHING stage. You were pretty to begin with but now you do look much younger.

Hello Josette93
Aww thank you . But we are never happy with how we look .
I blame it all on the Media .
We have to look good.

You could be a celebrity, absolutely gorgeous, a much younger version of Goldie Hawn (sorry cannot think of any young ones to compare, I would use a young celebrity if I knew one cause you look that young and great!). The doctor that did the CO2 on you should put your pics on his website, he'd have them lining up for blocks! Thank you so much for sharing your journey ( ignore the turkeys that gave you a hard time, call it insecure on their part!). Allyson

I had a question for you! I saw my dr yesterday day 4 and then the nurse girl me I needed to get the dead skin off so I came home and sponged it off and now I'm bright red and very swollen still. I'm very worried that I should not have done this as the dead skin seems like a protection somewhat. I'm so mad that I did that. I feel like a took a day or two backwards. Did you use a sponge to get off the dead skin and at what day? Thanks

Hi Tfase
On Day 5 I covered my hair with a dry towel and walked into the shower .
The stream of cool water run over my scab face
I softly rolled my hands all over my face and the scabs just fell off.
I came out of the shower and dabbed my face with a dry towel.
I was so relieved when all the scabs and goop was gone .
