I think that Dr. Nase stated at one point that skin sensitivity is directly

related to the level of vascular inflammation in our skin (from biopsies), and

that by reducing this inflammation with PhotoDerm, in the long run, skin

sensitivity should normalize.

I seem to be experiencing the same kind of after effects as Dr. Nase,

i.e. pretty normal 4/5 days after treatment but more sensitive for the

next 2 to 3 weeks. I get swelling, but none of the extreme bruising /

blistering

that others in this group have reported.
