first photoderm with patrick bitter sr

[Guest guest]

Hi all my fellows;

I had my first photoderm treatment with Bitter Sr on last Friday

afternoon.

According to what I read, so I want my face to be as red as possible before

the treatment. I bought

one spicy burrito,warmed up and put in a plastic box. I arrived 40 minutes

early. Took photo, put

numbing cream on it. Ten minutes later, my upper lip get numb, another ten

minutes went by, my

figures that were used to put numb cream on get numb, my face did not. So I put

more on it. Then I

started to have a headache, and felt quite dizzy.

Anyway, I started to eat my burrito. I opened the box, oh, my god, the food is

not wrapped any more

and I forgot bring a folk with me. I am sure if I ask people work there, they

will provide me a fork.

But I had been buzzing about those poor people a quite while, so I decide eat my

dear burrito anyway

with my clean washed figure.

Ten minutes probably, they asked me to wash off my numb cream, though my face

was still not

feeling a slight numbness. Bitter comes in shortly after nurse took me

inside the room. I scan

through my question lists, asked can I continue use clinque city super block 25

spf, he thought about

for a while, said 'yes.'. I asked I took baby aspirin in the past, will it cause

problem, he said 'no', I said I

did not put bleaching cream for a while, is it problem, he asked me to put it on

24 hours after the

surgery to prevent the possible pigmentation problem. I skiped the question as

'can I eat fish after

surgery.' I thought America people probably will said it is wierd question.

Chinese people usually

think after surgery better not eat seafood for a while.

Anyway, the surgery took less than 10 minutes, is it hurt? Not really. I did not

move my face or my

body due to uncomfortable. The light is very bright, so I closed my eyes as much

as I can. Every time,

when the light shine on my face, I felt a tiny needle poking my face.

After the surgery, my face looked almost normal as I walked in the office. My

face did not show any

show of swollen, but certainly I did not notice any improvement yet. The left

side of my cheek quite

often felt pain or feeling some blood vessel is working hard. I had a headache

for more than a day due

to numbing cream, the doctor said I am the only person complained about that,

that was not strange, I

always have wierd response to medicine.

The doctor himself and nurse I met are extremely nice. I can not expect better

attitude from them. And

the procedure is very smooth.

I have several questions regarding after surgery care, if some one can answer it

,that will be great.

1. If my face did not feel pain or very hot, should I use ice pack or not. Is

ice pack increase the surgery

result or just reduce the uncomfortable?

2. I found out right now my left side cheek is very easy feeling pain or blood

vessel working hard, is

that mean it will reduce the surgery result, so I should try hard to prevent it

or it is just the consequence

of healing.

3. Let us forget the quantum merchanics, then we will say light travel at

straight line. So that in the

daytime, our room is bright, we are not directly under the sun, but certainly

light come to our room

too,right? Do I need put sunscreen on my face? Anything we put will irriate skin

at some extent, but

which damange skin more? Sunscreen or the light from outside?

4. What your guys do after the surgery? I can not stay on bed for a day, it is

boring. But it seemed I

can not read book either.It caused pain on my left side cheek.

Email me if you have question about the procedure.
