Facial progress continues. Today Kati took the AFFIRM laser to the sides of my temples where the most severe scarring was. Over all the procedure took less than 5 minutes! AFFIRM does not hurt nearly as much as FRAXEL, in fact there were no meds or topical anesthetic needed. I am a little red, and Kati assured me that it would be better in the am, she also pointed out that because I had the FRAXEL a little over a month ago, the skin is a bit more sensitive. I am able to go about my daily skin routine as well.
After my date with Kati, I had a follow up with Laura, FUZION’s aesthetician. Laura went over my skin care routine with me to see if she needed to tweak it any way. Currently I am set, with the CLAIRSONIC, Purity Vlean wash, Hydra Peptide Gel for moisture and Nikel Eye Crème. Laura did add a moisturizer with sunscreen that she wants me to use daily.
Laura also scheduled me for a chemical peel which will enhance the FRAXEL results. I had to wait at least six weeks to ensure proper healing. I’m a bit nervous and I flat out asked her if was going to look like Samantha from Sex & the City and she told me that I would not. She did say that I would be pink and the next day I would be back to normal but my skin would feel tight and like it had a sunburn. Days 3-4 the outer layer would begin to crack then peel. Stay tuned in the coming weeks for the VLOG on my peel as well as my AFFIRM results.
