So I just got out of the shower and you can see there’s definitely a significant improvement in, you know, that using we’ve gotten all that off and and looks a whole lot better. Like I said, I am swollen under my eyes, but I actually expected that to be worse. I did sleep elevated. I slept on my back with two pillows and I did try to drink a lot of water yesterday to keep myself, you know, good and hydrated. So if you look closely, you can see those, I guess, grid marks on my forehead. And those are kind of, you know, kind of uniform all over my face and neck. The shower was fine. It does feel a little bit tender in the shower. So similar to as is.

How I would describe it is if you have like a sunburn on your shoulders and you don’t really feel it necessarily all throughout the day. But then you, you know, you brush up against it. But that sensitivity that you feel when you have a sunburn like that. That’s how I would describe washing my face in the shower. I did take a hot shower, so I think maybe it’s done a little bit more with the water. So after I got out of the shower, I did rinse with cool water in the sink and didn’t really feel that sensation. So this is day one immediately after the shower in the morning, so I will keep posting throughout the process.

SmartXide is a fractional CO2 laser treatment that uses dermal optical thermolysis (aka DOT therapy) to treat skin conditions like wrinkles and fine lines, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, loss of elasticity, and acne scars. Traditional CO2 lasers are ablative, which means they remove the skin’s surface layer.

They can be painful and require a week or more of downtime. The SmartXide laser is considered “micro-ablative”; it creates thousands of microscopic perforations, in a dot pattern. There’s no damage to the surrounding skin, so the area heals faster. It also stimulates collagen production more quickly. Cincinnati facial plastic surgeon Dr. Jon Mendelson says, “The SmartXide laser has been one of the best skin resurfacing devices I’ve ever used. It basically treats most skin conditions, including sunspots, fine lines, lip lines, crow’s feet, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, rhinophyma, and other aging skin conditions very well. The only thing it doesn’t help with is broken blood vessels. For this we use intense pulsed light [IPL].” Because SmartXide doesn’t go as deep as traditional CO2 lasers, the treatment requires only topical anesthesia and isn’t considered painful—although you might feel some minor discomfort, often described as a stinging sensation. You’ll also receive protective eyewear.

The treatment should take about an hour.
