You may want to get a second opinion. Those treatments sound too far
apart. I've done two series and they were 1 month apart for about 5
treatments. I have always been pretty much recovered within a month.
Sometimes it took a few weeks, but generally doing fine by the next
treatment. If your skin is still flushing and recovering, I'm not sure
another agressive treatment right now is a good idea. I'd probably go
to another place, make sure it's reputable, and see what they say. You
may be able to get some recommendations here if you let us know what
state or area you live in.
Cheers!
