After Microdermabrasion

So I am five days after the first treatment. I went in today for a complementary light microdermabrasion to get rid of the tight dried up skin, I feel so much better now although I am still dry, I can apply makeup and not look all flakey, but I am sure I will still continue to peel. I asked today the strength of my first Pixel, and it was 800 whatever the units are that they use. The max is 1400 and they will do 1000 the next time...I may ask them to do 1200 though....

It may be because of swelling, but I have three ice pick scars on my left cheeck that were quite prononuced, and they seem WAY less visible now. On my right cheek I have one icepick that is not as old as the others, it is also harder to point out now. Which leads me to be VERY excited...I hope it's NOT swelling, and that if I already see a difference in one treatment that by 6 I will be extremly pleased with the results.

I asked today about my brown acne scars, and those will probably need to be treated with IPL for 250 a treatment on my cheeks, maybe needing 2-4 treatments....so we'll see how I do after these 6. IPL may be on my list for next year....

I am wearing makeup in these photos. I went out to lunch with some friends within 30 minutes of my microderm, so I wanted to apply makeup. I'll take a pic without makeup later... remember to click on the photos to get the huge size where you can see the scaring better.
