Day 3

$430
Not much difference from day 2 and the scabs were quite prominent - when I wash my face, it feels like sandpaper. I was hoping it to be gone faster than this because I will be going to work tomorrow. There wasn't any pain left apart from my jawline which was where most of the shots were made. I also realized that there was one spot the ematrix square missed and it turned out to be an area that has a boxcar on it! I also thought back during the procedure and there were some shots that didn't really shoot all the way - I was sure my doctor covered all of my scared area but some just made a beep sound but I didn't feel the light shooting through - at first I thought it was the miracle of the numbing cream - but now I know it was a false shot, next time I will tell the doctor to do it again.

I signed up for my 1st treatment in about month from now. Thank you so much for the detail and picture updates. I'm looking forward to seeing what it looks like throughout the process and a month or so out, and if you are happy with the results. I'm a little scared, because I have very fair, sensitive skin that tends towards redness. I'm looking for reduction of fine lines and a couple small scars (one acne, one from a dog bite), otherwise I have nice skin...hoping this will not be a mistake.
How was you outcome? Did you do 3 sessions? I have power skin accept fir acting on my chin, so I’m nervous about damaging the rest of my face. I’ve read some reviews where people said their skin wa damaged after the 2nd or 3rd session. I’m curious to see how it liked it?

Swelling is better but not completely gone

My second day of the treatment - the swelling and redness are still visible but not as bad as day 1. The scab is still there and it's expected to be there for another few more days. Pain level is low - I feel a slight soreness when sleeping as I sleep on my side and one cheek will be on the pillow - most pain will be on either side of my jaw, not sure why that is. I avoided sunlight and stayed in the house all days yesterday - today I will do grocery so will need spf50 over my QV cream that I put on my face. I use Physiogel /Chetaphil soapless face wash in the morning.

Day of treatment

First Day - eMatrix

Right now is about 10 hours after the treatment - I didn't wash my face and went to bed with the cream they have put on my face once the session was over. The grid marks are more apparent and stings quite a bit. I washed my face with plain water and followed with Hyaluronic Acid serum from Dr.Wu (Taiwan brand) and Cetaphil lotion.
