Title: First laser

Yay first laser of face and chest done hoping for strong results still waiting for all the shedding to finish seems to be good I think

Congratulations, Jessica!

"Yay" wasn't exactly what I was thinking after I completed my first laser session on my face. It was more like "Oh my eff-ing God, that hurt!"

Here's to your success!

With kindness,

Terri

It is wonderful isnt it!   I have my second full body session tomorrow (my face is mostly already complete) and am HUGELY looking forward to it.   I am already seeing noticeable results although those pesky gray hairs are going to be a challenge.   

Recommendation: Your specialist/nurse may offer or sell you "laser enzyme gel" to speed the healing process.   I used it and found that it really does help reduce the post treatment discomfort.  I am always more than a bit skeptical about these kinds of things but I am certainly sold on the enzyme gel.

Good luck,
Miril
