It finally happened - I did my first session of CO2 Fraxel Laser to finally fix my atrophic acne scars! In this video, I vlogged my recovery for the whole week starting the day I got the procedure done. Remember, this is the recovery, not the result. I documented it to help those of you considering doing this intense treatment and whether or not it's worth it for you. Always consult a dermatologist beforehand! Also with each day, I made a collage with photos of what my face and neck looked like. I noticed the selfie camera on my phone was a bit blurry in some lighting so the photos are better quality.

- I forgot to take some picture of my forehead but the days I missed weren't drastically different.
- I'm taking a picture of my neck by looking upwards, which is tightening my skin. I did this to show the healing process.
