How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Day 3
The swelling has gone done quite a bit, but my skin feels really itchy today and I starting to feel bothered by this icky, sloppy aquaphor stuff. I washed it off earlier and left it off for a while ... my skin started feeling really tight once it got dry so I put it back on. :(
It looks like I am peeling ( see picture) ... hopefully these brown spots will be gone soon.
Last night I took a bath and washed my hair. That was nice to get all that jelly stuff out of hair.
I am starting to wonder if went strong enough on my on my skin.... 15 microns is really not that much and I don't look nearly as bad as some of the other pictures I have seen on here. My doctor said that is quite normal to have bleeding spots on your face if you go high on the laser. I didn't have any of that. I PROBABLY could have handled 20. Not sure. I am just worried that now my results wont' be as good because I tried to take it "too easy."
Looking back to my procedure now I'd say that on a pain level scale of 10 the procedure was probably a 7 or 8, but when I left the office it hurt the most. My face felt like it was on fire. Definitely a 10 for the first hour after the procedure.
I recommend having a fan with cool air blow right at your face for a while. Au... that really hurt. It did get better pretty quickly though and I haven't felt much pain since then. Just discomfort.
Was it worth it? Not sure yet.
Would I do it again? Well my doctor said that I can have one done every 6 months and I told her that I probably won't. :)

Little humor
At least I have not lost my sense of humor.
Day 2 still:
My 16-year old son comes home from I trip and sees me for the first time since I got my Microlaser Peel. He says: "Oh my gosh what is wrong with you? Why does your face look so bad?"
Me:" I had a microlaser peel."
Him:" Geesh I really hope that you are getting your money back!" Ha ha ... My skin feels a little tight when I laugh... but I thought it was still funny. I told him that I would look younger than his 17-year old girlfriend once I am done peeling. He didn't believe me. :)

Day2
I slept pretty well last night although I am not used to sleeping on my back, but it wasn't all that bad. No pain.
I woke up with a lot of swelling around my eyes which to me is the most uncomfortable part right now. My face feels very swollen.
I went to my doctor's office and they cleaned off my face and my doc had a quick look at me and said everything looks "normal" and that I will be healing fast.
She told me to clean my face with a water/vinegar solution every two hours and continue to use the aquaphor.
I recommend not wearing your favorite T-shirt like I did when having greasy stuff all over your face. Too bad, but that shirt is is trash I guess.
15 Microns is really not that deep but as you can see in my pictures I am already peeling a little bit on my cheeks. This is a pretty hefty procedure, nothing like a chemical peel... this is some REAL STUFF so I am hoping that I will also see some REAL results.
