First Time for Fraxel Restore Niskayuna N.Y

I am a 35 yr old female about to be 36 . I used to be a sun lover in my teens and twentys and now i am starting to see the damage as I am getting older. I have some brown spots fine lines a scar on my nose. Also enlarged pores on my nose and upper cheeks. I am hoping fraxel will correct these issues so I can maintain my skin regiment and be dedicated to using my sunblock everyday. I only wish I realized the damage sun was having on my skin sooner hopefully i can fix some of the old damage and age more gracefully. My appointment is tomorrow morning first time for this treatment a little nervous as i am told the laser can be painful. Well wish me luck keep ya posted on results.

getting ready for my treatment face and mouth numb feels weird lol

So I had my fraxel treatment and it was worse pain then my 51/2 hour back tattoo feels like your skins on fire and stings even with the numbing agent on my face immedietely after she treated an area my face felt reallt heavy where it was treated kinda of a scary feeling. Then when i seen my face afterword i had the worst swelling. My luck is she said I had the worst swelling she has ever seen!! unlucky me! numbing wearing off now and man does my face burn like the worst sunburn of my life!!
