Ultheraphy and Co2 Fractional Laser Resurfacing - Oakland, NJ

I had the procedure on Nov. 7, it is 5 days later , Nov 11. for the co2 laser i was numbed with a cream...before the whole procedure I took a xanax for anxiety and a percocet. I was given lidocaine . I had my whole face resurfaced, but only around my mouth area with the ultherapy as that is my worst wrinkled area. It was not painful at all. there were occasional sharp pains but lasted a second. After the procedure I was swollen. I really liked the look as I have a very thin face. It didn't feel like a sun burn. just tight. The only discomfort is itching. while it is peeling there is itchiness. and of course there is no touching. I am still wearing aquaphor and see the doctor on tues. n ov. 13. so far I am very pleased and hope all the swelling is down...cause I really like this look. My Doctor is Dr. Song of Omni Aesthetics, Oakland , N.J. He did a great job and has a very gentle bedside manner.

I had sculptra injections 4 years ago. 11 months afterwards I started getting lumps, (granulomas ?) all around my mouth area, where I had the injections. I then had kenalog injections to decrease the lumps. The result from that were deep atrophy and made my wrinkles deeper.. I have tried hyluronic fillers and radiesse. It does not work on me, possibly because my skin is so thin. I have also had contour thread lift, 8 years ago..I wanted to get a "lifestyle" lift. but was told I may have folds because of the threads. So. my next course of action is co2 fractional resurfacing and ultherapy. after reading real self, I am so nervous. So many people say it is so painful, especially with thin skin. am I doing the right thing?
