Jill610, Yeah it sounds like Ive had the same first time experience with this. Im confident it will get better. Am feeling a bit better today, after the Technician gave me some special cream for this sort of thing yesterday and some anti biotics that I got off the Doctor. I will consider hydrocortisone cream if I see a bad reaction next time out, hopefully I wont react as badly.
dist123, Im the same, strong beard, so it makes sense its going to hurt a little for us. Something just to get through to be true to ourselves.
Charlotte F, My Tech shes been helpful and gone out of her way to assist (sent over the cream in a taxi as I felt too beat up to pick it up). She did say next time out to maybe do half the face every 2 weeks, so that way the face can be done overall every 4 weeks. Im still thinking just to do the whole face next time to see how I react. The setting, yes she could go a little lower, but I think it was low already.
Taylorcaudle, Thats good for you, that it did not hurt, but your comment is dismissive if not outright rude, its insensitive, Ive been prescribed anti biotics for the issue. I feel you should be aware different people react different to treatments, and I dont see the point of your post except to score some points? Prehaps look at if you cant say something constructive theres no need to comment. People like Us, take enough flack without having to bitch each other out. Just my view!
Dena , Yes maybe IPL maybe not, you know better than me on this, as I have little experience.
