Regarding your comment about the nerve damage and "pins and needles" sensations in your face -- you may well find that these diminish or disappear entirely over time. I had the same sensations for quite awhile after my treatment ended, especially anywhere near my incision. The nerve regeneration process seemed very slow, but it did happen (and as far as I can tell, all of the "normal" sensations in that area returned completely).
