Would STAY AWAY FROM IPL! - Vancouver, BC
Posted by TikiTiki
IPL
It will damage your SKIN! Stay AWAY FROM IPL!
I am proof years later that the damage is now showing up!
Dr. C refuses to call and help with the problem. I am in the process of legal matters and hope that I save others from the same fate!
God Bless Everyone!
I am gathering pictures to post, keep your eyes open!
Updated on 25 Feb 2011:
I have a question for you Dr. Beraka. I had IPL done in 06 by a doctor who I now question his ethics. I am having some issues arise nearly 5 years after the procedure. The doctor will not call me back and has his helpers take calls. They are all very crass and defensive. I have noticed that the texture of my skin has completely changed. All the things that IPL is marketed as helping skin problems has actually created all the problems it is suppose to correct. Instead of reducing pore size, it has increased the pore size. It left squares all over the face. Pock marks, indents, orange peeling all over, crepe paper effect, the list goes on and on. Is there anything that can be done to stop this and if so, what would you recommend? Is it going to continue and would you say that DNA damage has occured?
It's a shame that the doctor I went to is so unscrupulous and unethical, email me if you would like his name.

Breast Lift
The care and consideration that my Dr. took during my office visits , as well as the surgery and aftercare was very client oriented. He was considerate and listened to all my concerns and went out of his way to discuss everything with me throughout the process.

I picked up a friend from his office. I wish I had know more doctors beforehand. I have waited a year before posting a review.
Amazing Breast Work - New York, NY

Breast Implant Revision
This man revised my complicated, constricted 20-plus year old implants on my tuberous breasts, improved my puffy nipples substantially and left me with much more natural looking, softer breasts. He performed a capsulectomy, breast lift and implant replacement. He lowered my crease for a much more natural effect. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. B.
