Halo +BBL for Skin Texture and Redness, Sun Spots Dull Skin - Edina, MN

I have been anticipating in considering doing a laser treatment for over a year. Based on what I have researched online and local you talking to different positions I thought that Halo would be the best option for me. I have some issues with skin texture sunspots and mild rosacea/redness. I knew the halo could make the redness on my cheeks worse but I'm willing to take a chance to smooth out the Texter. I did a BBL prior that targeted specifically redness so hopefully that will help. Today I am day too and my skin just looks red and a little raw it doesn't hurt. I have a lot of swelling still up around my eyes which is a bit disconcerting but I guess is pretty typical. I have lots of MENDS but not much sloughing. To say that this procedure doesn't have any downtime I think is very odd to the individual personally I am not leaving the house. The procedure itself was not too bad. The numbing cream was effective but it did feel very hot. The BBL is like a snapping feeling in the halo is just a prickly feeling that all together not at terrible. My face felt extremely hot for about an hour to 90 minutes after the procedure. That was expected. I slept elevated that night and my doctor had put me on medication to prevent cold sores and a low dose of prednisone for the swelling which I think helped. I'm not expecting any miracles but hoping to see some improvement in my skin texture and hopefully over time the redness and sunspots. I just would like to get over this hump and see what it will look like next week! It's only day two and I'm pretty impatient LOL I guess any type of resurfacing with lasers is not really for the faint of heart But I was so unhappy with my skin then I thought honestly I had to give it a go otherwise it would just be nagging at me all the time and I'm glad I did. I can now either move on and except what it is or hopefully enjoy improvement

Today is a better day. Still lots of rough texture and MENDS under my eyes are still really swollen and again I have a little bit of bruising but it's not too bad. I can tell my skin is much tighter and smoother looking already Just now hoping for some improvement in the pigment
