Laser Gone Wrong ? Maybe ?

So I decided to get pro-fractional on my chest for wrinkles/crepey skin. I also added BBL Hero for my face and regular IPL on my chest/neck for cherry angiomas/discoloration.

I have to say profractional is pretty painful and the sound just adds to it! I was aware I would have bleeding but I was absolutely traumatized afterwards -I wasn’t even able to take a photo!!!
I slept awful because I need to sleep on back and I bled most of the night. The pain wasn’t too bad overnight considering my chest got burned off. However my neck where I got IPL was just tender and swollen:(

Next morning the IPL marks on my chest and neck are awful. I don’t have any striping on my face from the BBL but on chest you can definitely see exactly where she zapped. I talked to the office and was told this is normal and to take ibuprofen. I don’t feel like it’s normal. Im praying it heals well. I am more worried about the IPL than the actual profractional. The BBL on my face is healing as expected (darkening of freckles)

Day 3

Big difference in day 2 vs day 3.
The area lasered is so angry at me but the IPL striping has dramatically improved.

It's very painful. I cannot wear a bra. It's hard to sleep. It's difficult to wear a regular shirt. Thank goodness I work remote.

Day 4 & 5

So day 4 was pure misery. I was itching so bad , stinging pain, felt oozing, didn’t sleep well and just generally felt awful!! I took Tylenol and was able to take a good 2 hour nap late in the day and I think my body appreciated it because the intense itching pain stopped. I still felt the oozing which was gross feeling.

Day 4 night I took Tylenol and Benadryl and slept like a baby! I was surprised at how well I slept considering during the day I felt horrid. I really needed the rest as the previous nights I got no sleep.

I’m now on day 5 and I feel better. I was able to get some chores done. Showering wasn’t pleasant. My chest still feels raw towards the top. I am also breaking out pretty bad. Not sure if it’s from the aquaphor & Vaseline or delayed reaction from the IPL. I put some hydrocortisone cream on it so it’s not itching right now.

Overall i don’t care if this treatment eliminates every wrinkle on my chest, I would not do it again and would not recommend. I think the laser was just way too aggressive for my chest. I would rather have my wrinkles than the pain I’ve felt. I’m also concerned about how well this will heal. I look at other photos of people who had lasers to their chest and they don’t look this red — there’s is like a light pink.
So I’m just praying this heals well.

I will continue to update as I can so others know if this is right for them or not. I didn’t find a ton of reviews on lasers on chest.
