Waiting for Results

I had profractional laser resurfacing on Monday the Nov. 25. It was the first one in a series of at least 3. First of all, while it wasn’t hugely painful during the procedure thanks to numbing, it was extremely painful about 2 hours after until at least the next day. I also had horrific swelling. I was seriously questioning my decision and questioning whether a week would be enough time off. But I was presentable within 6 days. Now my skin is flaking and I’m keeping moisture on it. I can see nice skin underneath the flakes so hopefully it will be worth it.

Today is 9 days post and the first day I’ve used my own products. I used Dr. Brandt exfoliate wash. Derma E vitamin c serum and DermaE collagen and peptides moisturizer. I’m starting to see subtle changes in the dark areas that was on my cheeks from prior tanning years. Complextion looks smoother. Hoping for more tightening around lower face and jowls though.
