Today is the 11th day since my Fraxel laser le.
Skin is still flaking slightly especially the lower part of my face, around the lips and chin area.
Take heart! i'm gonna upload a scary photo collage to show u the difference. haa..
The swelling takes probably 3 days to slowly subside. You can see that first day was really bad with the puffy face and the chao-tah look.
Third day onwards, the redness turns brownish, making skin very blotchy looking. The brown takes quite a long while to go away.. i just look tanned with whiter rings round my eyes, brows and lip area -_- Weirddddd haha..
After that was just flaking, flaking and more flaking.. Looking less toasty day by day. I just pile on alot of moisturiser, keeping skin moist when i'm not out.
Occassionally, there will be a small whitehead appearing. And when i scratch it away very, very lightly, the skin just bleeds! omg. Skin is super thin and fragile now.
Pitted scars are less deep but still there. I may need to go for 2 more sessions, maybe?
Scars aside, the skin does look more plumped up. i think the laser is good at treating fine lines and wrinkles hehe
I do go out now. I try to stay under the shade, or bring my brolly out. Just that sometimes, the flaking scares my friends off, haha.. but they are all very understanding, lol.
And it's difficult to cover up :(
I need to apply sunblock but my make up and sunblock don't seem to be very good friends.
They don't blend well at all! i end up removing everything and using simply a tinted moisturiser with sunscreen from Garnier.
This is actually a sample i bought but have never used it before. Was very surprised that application was so smooth!
Only thing is, the colour is abit too dark for me :( then my face will end up looking one shade darker than my neck and rest of the body. wail.....
but never mind, it will pass sooon!!!!
Still trying to experiment the best way to blend my make up and sunblock together....... hmmm
