First of all let me start by saying this was extremely painful As excrutiating. ???? I almost got up and walked out. My legs were shaking so much from the pain that the nurse held them down. My doctor is amazing he asked me if I wanted to stop but no way!!! I was saving money for one full year for this there's no way I was gonna tell him to stop. I had BBL and halo right after. They used a numbing cream but I'm not sure if it worked cause damn!!!! The nurse kept changing my cold compressions to alivia-te the burn and that helped. I'm now 5 hours post procedure and my face still burns like hell my house is 68 degrees and I can't go in there cause it hurts so I've been in my car for the past 4 hours with AC blasting. The reason I said I'm not sure it's because this is day 1 so I have no idea about the outcome I'll keep you updated :) I'll post pictures tomorrow

HI! You will LOVE IT!! THe first week is a test to will power and faith. You will look so much worse before better. The first few hours yes, your face is BURNING HOT! I hated that but by day 5 you will be SO HAPPY. I just had my second and this one was a bit more aggressive and I have to say healing sucked but now at day 5 wow, I am so happy!!!!!

So.... I wanted to write my review of day one while was still fresh in my mind. The pain (burn sensation) was really bad but just as the doctor said it was only for a total of 12 hours. By next morning of January 13th no more pain. Only when I had to touch my face to wash it and put the cream back on. I have to do it twice per day. Today, Sunday the 15th, 3 days after, my face is really itching ( the doctor told me it would be) it looks like it's starting to dry out so the peeling process can begin I'm guessing!?! Well... I still don't understand how can some people go out the next day or even day 2 or 3 ... to me it looks like I'll be stuck in the house for at least one more week but if I get good results I really don't care. I guess it's different for everyone but I'm just thinking about the reviews I read before people said it wasn't that painful and I thought I was gonna die... the burning after yes, I read that and experienced that. Now, I'm still looking like a freak but most of the reviews said they were able to go out by the next day and by day 5 they were gorgeous. I'm hoping everything is happening the way it should. At least no more pain my face started to dry out and it's itching that's Day 3.

sounds very normal! Today is day 5 for me and I am still red but most of peeling is gone. Everyone is different b/c this treatment is customized to you (hopefully your PS/Derm did that) but you sound pretty normal process - excited for you!! I am very happy!

Thank you @5203anon :) I'm excited to see the results. I looked at your pictures and they look fabulous! I'm still hesitant of posting mine. I haven't seen anything close here yet. Maybe after is done? ;)
