I got the CO2 laser (cortex) done today, i got levulan with vbeam done prior to this like a month ago since i still deal with acne. The procedure started with arriving an hour early to get numbing cream. Then the laser, i was really nervous because all other reviews and places i read that they do numbing cream along with shots and also pain killers, but here they only offered numbing cream. I didn't have a driver neither so i dont think i could have requested pain killers. When the procedure started it was not bad at all, like i could feel it somewhat but not very painful, they also had a tube that would blow out cold air as the laser was being performed. I could describe the feeling like getting a tattoo but on your face and with longer needles Lol, but since there was some numbing it was very tolerable. He did like several passes all over my face i think maybe 3 times going on a higher intensity each time. After it was done, my face just felt really hot and it felt pulsating. they then put aquaphor and i got wrapped up like a mummy. i did have bleeding and still do but I guess thats normal, and i dont feel any pain, i just feel like i have a chemical peel solution on. we'll see how it goes! Really looking forward to seeing results in some weeks or maybe months :)

looking good! Hang in there - it will feel really tight and abit itchy/aggravated, but in another 2 days or so, it will start to go and your new pink skin will be revealed! I had co2 fractional laser and vbeam on 29th jan (Thursday) and by the Tuesday, I was all peeled and could finally see some of my acne scars had lessened :). I have my next treatment booked for 31st March and I can't wait. Vbeam is great for acne too isn't it?! Make sure you use a good sunscreen for your new skin....helps avoid hyperpigmentation...good luck!
