Session 2 - Crank it up!

Time for session 2... I could not remember how it was last time so the nerves were ok.
I got to the appointment and my new friend of pain started to hit the yellow belly of Taz with a low frequency. This proved to be a doddle, however he was not happy..
"We didn't hear the popping sound, that means it will not really do much and so next time we will have to crank it up"
No I thought! This was easy, I didn't feel a thing! So back to the Black/Brown and he cranked it up from 0.5 to 1.5 (I wonder if it has 11 ?).

OUCH! Toes curling, chair gripping the lot! You will see how it is from the photo....

One thing I have mentioned is how it goes 'green' immediately after the treatment but only for a very short period of time. I managed to get a photo this time (it has Aloe Vera on here, hence the shine).



This effect does not last long however and a few hours later it was like this:


Very angry, I guess you would be after been hit around 600 times with a laser!

The pain is not too bad now and this morning it has blistered a lot like I was told... The trick is to not pop the blisters and just let it heal naturally. This morning it looks like this (side profile to show the blisters):


This will last a couple of weeks now and I will be sure to post regular updates to show the fading.
Next appointment is in 6/7 weeks time and I cannot wait.. Especially after he told me that he will crank it up to 2 next, for the whole thing!
