Hi there @water_nymph.
I had 30 treatments (25 then a 5 day boost,only one side mind you) my skin held up really well until half way through week 5 then it went to the pack. I too used Moo Goo. Its fantastic. Manuka honey gold cream for the really sore bits then Flamazene and dressings for a few days after I finished. Healed up really quickly. I really didn't have any fatigue issues and worked right through. Now 4 months on and am still a little tan where they did the boost and every so often get a little bit of an ache on the supraclavicular ...think thats what they called it....apart from that all is well.
All the best. XOXO
