Cystic Acne for a Recent Breakout - Sarnia, ON

I am still unsure my feelings on this procedure. I am actually still healing. I still have red skin..you can see the red around my eyes still and if I go outside I turn extremely red. This is so unlike my skin before. I honestly, didn't realize it would take this long to heal. I do have sensitive skin but I would think 4 weeks later, I would be better. My acne has definitely improved but it is still here. It isn't as cystic and painful as before, but very red still. The nice thing about it now is I am able to cover it up better because they aren't massive cystic raised bumps. I don't feel comfortable without makeup on..even if I didn't have acne left because of how red I still am.
I am hopeful my skin will return to its natural pigment within 6 weeks.

I would suggest a minimum of 10 days off of work for those with sensitive skin. I was swollen for 2 weeks after the procedure. They say swelling is rare but my entire face was blown up, down to my neck and including my lips.
For those without sensitive skin, I recommend this procedure!!

Today is the first day I am starting to feel normal again. I am able to move my mouth more freely so can talk normally. The skin is starting to slowly flake off but very raw and pink skin lies underneath. I am wondering if I will peel twice.

Day 7
Today even more skin is peeling off. The old skin that hasn't peeled yet looks like leather and is quite leathery feeling. Weird. I have a couple of breakout acne coming up on the fresh skin. I am hoping this is part of the process. I am hoping by Monday I can at least cover up my face with makeup as I have to go back to work. The place I got it done did mention that some people heal quick, while others are slow healers. Some may take 5 days, others may take 15. I am guessing I am a slow healer considering.
I can still see cystic acne on my chin so I am hoping by the end of next week it is cleared up. The fresh skin underneath what is peeling does look very smooth and nice but it is still pink. So I will not be able to really see results for another week, I assume.
I am glad I can see the light. The first 5 days were rough and worse than I expected which is why I wrote this review.
A lot of other reviews mention day 1 and 2 as tough which weren't too painful for me. It was day 3,4,5 that were the worst for me.

I will update next week. I assume from here on out, I will just continue to peel so I will update with my final review once I can see my results!

Today the skin around my mouth is one big scab. It is very tight. Not too painful, although I am still taking 1 benedryl with 1 Advil every 4-6 hours.
I am very pleased with how the rest of my face looks. It is just uncomfortable. The rest of my skin is a deep red now which is just my skin healing.

Day 5
Today the skin is still scabbed around my mouth. But is now starting to slough off. I had a shower to soften the scabs and lightly rinsed my face. This felt so nice as I was able to eat breakfast. As soon as the skin dried, the scabs tightened and again my mouth will barely open. The cystic acne is very dry and I'm assuming will fall off within the next few days.
