Hi Guys!
I'm getting a B&G shoulder to elbow half sleeve lasered off (as well as little ones on both my wrists and a 2"x2.5" Sailor Jerry Poison flash on the back of my neck) and last Saturday was my first session. It took 45 minutes and two days later, my arm is covered in blisters, red, bruised, and swollen at least three times its size - I can't fit into the sleeves of my clothes.
My doctor (Dr. Kaplan at Celebrity Laser Spa) said I should keep it covered for about three days but my blisters prolly won't pop on its own for at least a week or two. Do I continue to put Aquaphor on it and wrap it in gauze until the blisters have popped and healed even if it's for two weeks? Do you get less blisters the further you go into the treatment (I have 11 more sessions to go)?
Thanks for your info and just to let everyone know...
So far, after my initial treatment, getting the treatment doesn't actually hurt. Dealing with the side effects is the really effing annoying part.
P.S. I'm getting worked on with the Picosure. AMAZING! the shading on my sleeve literally disappeared before my very eyes.
