Day 32

Day 48

As you can see on Day 48, my neck was still healing from the treatment.

The next day I saw the dermatologist and found that the Pulsed Dye Laser does not seem to be as effective as expected.

After a brief discussion, we decided not to go through with another treatment, but to swap over to a fraxel laser. I will consider re-naming the blog and continue to document my experience with that laser.

Week 3 - Pulsed Dye Laser Treatment.. Slowing down

Week Three

I am working on figuring out how to best show this progress. Maybe I will look into making an animated gif each week.

Anyway, here's week three:

Day 15

Day 15 Progress

Day 16

Day 16 Progress

No idea what changed here, but Day 16 is looking like the most change in recent days.

Day 17

Day 17 Progress

Day 18

Day 18 Progress

Day 19

Day 19 Progress

Day 20

Day 20 Progress

I am starting to think that the photo on day 16 was particularly good looking due to the black shirt I was wearing (high contrast to my light skin).

Day 21

Day 21 Progress

Sadly even with the magic of the high contrast dark shirt - progress seems flat.

This concludes week three. My next appointment was scheduled to be 6 weeks after - but I may end up moving that to 4 or 5 weeks after.
