Week 1 Cleaned Up
WORTH IT$2,500
Well after a post-op with the doc, my face is almost back to pale! The results look great and are going to continue adding collagen. I am taking a collagen booster I found at Whole Foods. Climbed the side of a mountain today with 50 spf and mineral powder foundation on top. No break out! Im going to be looking smooth for Christmas xoxo

Day 4 Rash
Took this photo outside with my better camera to show the speckling. I've stayed indoors religiously. However, despite my best efforts, I have somehow been afflicted with a rash around my eyes and forehead. I plan on seeing the physician Monday. Perhaps it was due to the aquaphor slathering that gave me a bit of acne, but after researching, it seems a rash is not part of the normal healing process. I do not have an viral diseases, such my guess is it is just a fungal malady. I have ceased use of aquaphor and have been applying anti-bacterial creams. Hopefully this wont ruin my results. Other than that, the red is clearing quite quickly. This is the advantage of fractional rather than ablative.

When you say "viral disease" are you referring to HIV? Or HPV or herpes virus? I have Epstein Barr and it continues to linger, I will always show a positive titer in my blood work from exposure. I too, have Irish/Scottish skin.....

Hello ,
What did you Dr. say your rash was and how did she treat it? I have had active fx 6 days ago and most of my peeling is done and my skin looks great with the exception of my right side cheek/ jaw line area. I too have what appears to be a rash/ welts and the skin there is dry and flaky again after it has already peeled.thank you for your journal,

Day 2- Everything is covered in Aquaphor
I forgot to cover my pillow with a towel, so as I slept I got aquafor all over my satin pillow case. Shortly after waking, I sat in my bathtub and washed my face gently with Cetaphil gentle cleanser. There is no pain except around my eyes. I am in debt to my kind close friends that surprised me with starbucks and fresh fruit this morning. They kindly pretended my face wasn't molten. Some of the skin in between my brows looks like it has eczema, but I think I just needed to apply higher density of moisturizer to it.
I've been watching some youtuber's experience with CO2 lasers, and with the intensity of the treatment I received I surmise I won't be able to walk outside for 4 more days.

Just btw, I was at Costco on Hayden yesterday and they have several varieties of collagen, and some Hair, Skin Nail formulas at great prices. I bout nature's Bounty gummies. 'cause I know I'll take those!
I'm in Whole Foods almost every day, but when to comes to supplements and skin care I find much better prices at Natural Grocer on T-Bird & Scottsdale Rd. and Costco on Hayden.
I hope you keep sharing about your progress. and keep up with that sunscreen (I think :-).
