second photofacial treatment with patrick bitter sr

[Guest guest]

I had my second one on this Thursday morning. First I have to say

this appointment was not scheduled in advance. I am in the waiting

list and got call. So I was not prepared to have treatment done on

that day at all. Second the people in their office is really really

sweet.

My first treatment if I remember right the filter was 550. This time

doctor first time used 590 filter on my whole face, 645 second time

to target at my cheek. I did not use numb cream, first time did not

hurt that much, second time it hurt quite a bit. After the treatment,

my cheek is very very red. Before the treatment, if I did not tell

people I have rosacea, nobody will notice my skin problem, but this

time I am sure everybody will think something wrong with me. But

doctor is very very pleased with the result, he said my skin

responsed very well.

Afterward, I got two ice pack, drove back to work. I thought my face

must looked very horrible, so I wear my hat when I walked into the

office and worked at my cube silently. Two hours later, I went to

bathroom, amazing, my face looked paler than before the surgery, this

is something I really did not expected to see. My right side cheek

slightly swollen.

I got home, my face stays almost pale. Unfortunately I had a food

allergy that night, I had a sharp belly pain and eventually

developped to a point I can not breath well, so I spent my second day

at emergency room. Yesterday my pain still pretty bad. I had to

complain the doctor in the emergency room did nothing useful except

offering me pain reliever which I refused.

Anyway with all this mess going on, and I did lots of things will

normally trigger my flushing, like hot drink, exercise, eat orange

peel and drink ginger juice to try to get rid of excessive gas in my

belly and stomach. my skin certainly get much more red than thursday

night but up to now I still feel it is better than before the second

treatment especially my right side cheek (which never bothered me

anyway, usually red cheek with no other symptom, my left side always

flushing very easily and hurt often)

Still up to now, I believe the photoderm itself was quite useful at

this stage.

I just have one question I do not understand: if my skin is pale on

thursday night which means my blood vessel somehow being sealed or

killed by the IPL, which it get more red again on the second day, I

do not believe all the blood vessel regrow overnight.

I posted one question about my face hurt second week after my first

photoderm treatment. I eventually figured out the most possibility

which is I stopped taking crition on that week. I got rebound effect

from that.
