So far I am not to happy with the Pearl Fractional Laser. Im going on 10 weeks of healing i've had two foto facials and still I have red blotchy and streaky face.
i'm very scared this is going to be permanent. I am looking for other instances where this has happened to others but I have found nothing. Has anyone else been through this?
Some people heal quicker than others. If you are still red, I'm not sure why you would want to treat your face with IPL which is more light energy. I agree with a second opinion but would suggest leaving it alone and letting it heal.
I am considering the Pearl laser treatment but it will be done by a technician. Should I look for a new doctor elsewhere?
The laws in the U.S. vary greatly from state to state as to who may perform laser surgery. In general, state laws are becoming stricter because there has been so may bad outcomes and lawsuits involving cases where a patient was treated by a non-physician. Dermatologists study only the skin for 3 continuous years and are intimately familiar with the biology, physiology, and treatment of diseases of the skin. During residency training, many of us have performed thousands of laser procedures under strict guidance, and this is also where we learn to deal effectively with complications of laser surgery. A one day course can never replace this. Experience matters. Take the treatment of your skin very seriously, do your research, and this will enable you to have the best outcome. Take care, Dr. Groff
