Hope everyone is well and enjoying this usually fine weather we've been having (shocking for Ireland anyway)
Just wanted to do a quick recap of this weeks sessions to date. I was hoping to add a few pictures of my skin at the moment but it's so awkward to get some angles but I hope to update on that soon.
Monday, I remained at the same time as Friday, 2minutes and 55 seconds. The nurse was concerned about abnormal redness on my arms. While the weather had been nice over the weekend, it had still been fairly windy at work so I kept my arms covered so I myself was baffled as to why my arms were so red. After the talk of maybe wearing a tshirt during the treatment, she advised against it. I was no longer using the step, and used the visor for the first minute of treatment.
Today, Wednesday, I moved up to 3 minutes and 4 seconds. Same thing again, no tshirt, and visor for the first minute. She discussed with me that she would be in touch with my dermatologist about extending my light treatment as my 24th and final treatment is due to happen this coming Friday. I am happy enough to do so and was on my way. As I waited outside the hospital for my Dad who had kindly driven me, to give me a break, I met said dermatologist. We talked for a few minutes and when I said about what the nurse had advised about more session, he seemed supportive and that I could go for it if I needed it.
On I was on my merry way again, sun beating on the car and already roasting from the treatment. Once I got home, as usual, I lathered myself in E45. I also put some sunscreen with an SPF of 50 on my face as I knew I would be in and out of the house during the day.
I hope to update again over the weekend as to the outcome of Friday and if I'll be doing extra sessions for definite. I might throw up another tag in the meantime, to add a bit of fun to the blog, let me know what you think of those :)
Until next time....
