Come rain or shine, I will be lasered! 4th Treatment.

 A rainy Independence Day in Seoul, I make my way to Gangnam to have my final treatment at Oracle Skin Land:




 Outside Oracle in Gangnam

 The waiting room of Oracle


 Bring it on!  I feel nothing!

 Waiting with the lovely Ellen Choi

 My dermatologist at Oracle, post-consultation



 After my treatment.  The white spots are where he did the laser work.

 Time for a cooling facial

 Getting some cooling thing on my face to sooth the inflammation.  This was
followed by some type of light treatment.
 Finished!  Red and puffy but otherwise okay!




 The long train ride home, wet, burnt and tired.



Home after treatment... just 7 more days until I can take the bandages off!
Sad face!

The 4th and final Treatment (for now)

So, I will be leaving Korea in 8 days since my contract as an EPIK teacher will expire and I have just enough time to squeeze in one last treatment at Oracle Skin Land in Gangnam before heading out on a month backpacking trip in the Philippines.  So, once again I'll be posting pics over the next few weeks of the progress.... Here is my Mug, 28 days post-healing after the 3rd treatment.  I hope, I'll be satisfied with the results after the 4th treatment... this is really hurting my wallet.... So, stay tuned ofr updates.

Three Strikes You're Out!

The Third Treatment:  Hours after my 3rd treatment at Oracle Skin Land in Gangnam and the days following the healing process.

Leaving my place to head to Gangnam for my third treatment... at this point I'm used to the pain and discomfort.  Easy peasy!

Just arrived back from my treatment.  Looking Red, a good color on me :P.

Detail of my skin, 1 hour after treatment.




Holy Skin!  Holes, holes, holes in my face.  You can see the subcision needle entry points.
12 hours after treatment.  The morning after is always the worst. Leaking again.
Trying to look stoic with a hideous face.  Bandages filled with discharge.

Day 3 of healing.  Bandages taken off and changed.
Day 3

Day 3, so annoyed with these damn bandages in this humidity!  Progress!

Day 4

Day 4.  The redness has disappeared, looking fresh!

Day 5 bandage change.  Laser wounds are healing beautifully, but they are itchy as hell!

Day 6... Heading to Oracle Skin Land to have the bandages 
taken off and get a facial
