Grumpy - what was the last settings you used on your back. Also have you been moving up in the settings.
2 days ago I had my second treatment on the GentleEase Candela Alex, and I shocked the assistant tech by going up to a setting 16j on my skin (III-IV). Anyway, I was a bit red after the treatment, however 2days on and I have no more redness and no scarring. My upper arms are very sensitive to the laser so I placed some cooling cream on my arms before hand and this helped somewhat.
So I am now game to move up to a setting 18joules 20mm spot size. I will take a break from laser for 2 1/2 months to see how two treatments have gone and then go for another to clean up.
I don’t think there are many good tech’s out there (in australia) so sometimes you have to educate them with what you want. ie missed patches cleared, increasing the settings, even price is very negotiable in these places. Make sure you get the tech to do what you need done because we all know how expensive treatments are!
Have a good christmas break all those out there & try and think about the true meaning of christmas instead of all the commercial hype!
