Okay, thank you for your response. I was wondering about that, Put. Too bad for you and others.

LaGirl or Romeo, is it safe to ask for higher joules? I noticed that my upper lips are has tiny bumps with what look like puss inside (possibly blisters?). My upper lips area is still sore and red even after 8 hours from the last treatment.

I am surprised that you have puss on the upper lip after a 5msc/24 J Gentleyag treatment. Perhaps they overlapped the area too much.

Please contact the Clinic and have them look at you. No, if you have had blisters, I would not up the Joules but I would have them up the mscs ( For example, instead of 5 msc, they can use 10 msc ).

Again, these are SUGGESTIONS ONLY that you should clear with your Clinic first.

I will discuss this with my clinician. The thing is she doesn't speak well English and I don't speak well German, lol! I probably will bring a friend as a translator. What does mscs stand for?

Oh and one more question, is Hydrocortisone good to treat the blisters?

Use tea tree oil. Doctors really don't like hydrocortisone to be used on the face if there is something else you could use. Short-term use for hydrocortisone is okay if you really have to use that, but tea tree oil in small dabs would help you just as well. Can you purchase tea tree oil in Germany?

Warm compresses will help, too.

I really like hydrocortisone. But yes, it's not the healthiest thing to use.

If you have red raised bumps, it's normal for up to a day or two. You should ice the area and use cooled aloe vera gel. If this stays for longer than that, see your clinic. Puss shouldn't be there though. Are you sure that's what it is? Is it white? Are you using anything on your face such as facewashes, lotions, moisturizers, makeup removers, or anything else with chemicals? Please avoid using any of that while the skin heals.

If you were truly burned, settings shouldn't be raised. But you should see if that's an actual burn. It would appear like a burn within a few days if it is, i.e. with some crusting etc.

Not sure if tea tree oil is available here in Germany but I might find it in The Body Shop store. I think it is puss inside of the bumps because it looks white. I did actually put powder after the treatment because I looked scary with red and swollen upper lips, lol. I see what will happen with the area in the next few days and if it still looks like it does now I will visit the clinic and have a consultation about this.
