Just had my first pro-fractional treatment about 5 hours ago in MN, 150 microns deep. I was nervous about going to deep. I had a lot of bleeding right away and now my face just looks like it has a bad burn. I am anxious to see what tomorrow brings. The laser(s) weren't super painful but I am definitely feeling some discomfort now! I have very mild adult acne around my jawline and am looking to see some freckles fade.

Do you have grid marks all over your face? I had mine done on Thursday and I look like I have a rash and like someone decided to leave tire tread marks all over my face

I have had 3. Never got grid marks.
Wonder if the operator is good?

Face is super red!! No pain whatsoever but I cannot leave the house for sure. I have track marks from the laser on my face and skin is tight, peeling, very red and swollen. This is my second full day after a profractional & micro-laser peel. I did not go very deep 150 - 200 microns (I think they are microns) but I do have sensitive skin.

Oops. Just saw this! My doctor did a 75 setting. I am not peeling at all but have red blotchy patches and my face has been very itchy. Today is day 4 for me. Less itchy but still red with the lovely grid marks:(

The redness is considerably better! I still have laser marks everywhere which is very jarring to me but after looking at everyone else's posts I think it's normal? The spots you see are actually red dots left over from the laser. I am really hopeful that everything fades.. I can still see some of my freckles I'm pretty sure. My skin is peeling like crazy though I think that's a good sign. I am not really sure what to think at this point? I am really really hoping this is worth it!!!

I am still on the fence but it did heal by Monday like my doctor told me! You couldn't really tell and I covered the redness with It Cosmetics "Confidence in A Compact" which is the bomb. Seeing her in a few weeks and I will let you know what she says. Please remind me though, since I am always working and check emails late in the day.

How is your face? Have the track marks gone for good?
