Day 4 IMO not worth it

So my new pink skin is starting to show and the peeling is just about done. If I did not have the allergic reaction that I did I may have felt differently, but in my case with having had to go to get a steroid shot, and be put on meds after this treatment for me just not worth it. I am still swollen (good thing I did not have to work this Monday morning). For others this seems to be a great option.

Emily was very nice and walked me through the process. I was nervous since this was my first laser peel. Day 2 I called the institute today because I was concerned about the swelling and redness. They told me it will be like this for couple more days. Kinda worried but keeping an open mind

Day 3

Went to urgent care last night because my eyes were swollen almost shut. Saw the dr and he said this happens sometimes. Histamine allergic reaction to the laser. I did not have a reaction with test spot, but he assured me I am fine. He gave me a steroid shot and prescribed prednisone and hydroxizine. He Also mentioned for me it won’t be just a few day process I will have to deal with this possibly for a full week. Will keep you posted since I can’t leave house looking like this. Well now I know I can’t get this type of peel again. I will stick to the chem peels I have been getting few times per year with no down time. Pic is from today so 48 hours after treatment I am still very swollen as you can see hoping it goes down today. Cold towel compresses help for itching

Allergic??

I just went to urgent care because my face has swollen up more since last pic and I was worried. Dr said I had allergic reaction, but I will be fine. Steroid shot and prednisone for next few days. He said I will be happy with results.
