To do this in a Process Builder context, you'd need to have a second field on the object (which can be hidden from the page layout). Call it Has_Been_Edited__c, a checkbox. Then your Process can check for

AND(ISCHANGED(Field__c), NOT(Has_Been_Edited__c))

It should then fire your action and also update Has_Been_Edited__c to true.

ISNEW() checks whether the object itself is newly created.
