Had Damage from Erbium Laser, Affirm Helped

sorry i just saw this. The doctor was Dr Jasin in New Tampa.

For me the IPL helped with the redness. It took a few treatments but my whole face was a mess after the Erbium Resurfacing. I had a lot of broken blood vessels too.

I agree I'm 23 and it ruined me . I went to a good doctor , lasers have different effects on different people , they can never truly say the outcome . I was in good health and that didn't save me .

Are you a doctor? If so, what is your speciality? Would you like more proof? Go to the IPL and laser damage support forum, register, then read the other horror stories. There are also links to scientific research that has been done on lasers and the damages they can do.....

Please tell me where to find these. I've been doing laser for 15 years. I do.it 6 days a week. Average 8 hours a day. 40 percent of my clients including myself, my friends, family and referrals do the Affirm with me. I have treated myself countless times on the highest setting. I have an IPL and another similar even stronger. Have not damaged or injured 1 person in all of the years. There are no machines that I know of that can cause that type of harm. That is from some type of medical condition. Like I said, im sorry you have experienced that. But its not from laser. They are not equipped to cause that kind of damage. Even if I overtreated someone on purpose the most that would happen would be a superficial scab or dryness would occur and to treat would be simple aquaphor you could buy in cvs. Where is this scientific research? Im sorry but you are wrong. I also work with many people in my field and teach laser. I have friends that also own there own practices. What happened to you is unheard of.

Hello Jane D, I am going to jump in here to get this conversation back on track :) Thank you for your honest opinion however everyone has different experiences and results with the treatment and this site is a safe place to share and help others in a supportive way. We don't want comments to turn into a "who is right and wrong" conversation, it's simply based on individual experiences and whether they think the treatment was worth it or not. If you have any questions please let me know, you can also review our Community Guidelines. 

Just because you have not seen it with your own eyes dose not mean this didn't happen to people . You should try and be understanding to the immeasurable pain some people are in due to laser damge . Please try to be understanding to people who have suffered . And yes there are many documents and publications on the effects of lasers and laser damge . Maybe you should research thermal bystander effect , DNA damge , And check the stories on the ipl and laser damage boards . I also must respectfully disagree that the machine are incapable of damage . Surgeons on this blog state that lasers are powerful devices and it is the skill of your practioner to control them and apply the right settings , look for abnormal reposes in skin, check medical history ect . I'm not wanting to start an argument but I do think you should try and be sympathetic to others that have suffered . And I strongly believe laser are capable of true damge as I have suffered myself and know many people from all over the world that have the same experience as myself . As for lasers being natural, the way the light is harnessed in lasers is far from natural! It could never be replicated by Mother Nature . The light is very strong and direct and can be adjusted according to achive different results . And in many cases can be damaging . It is proven lasers can cause damge because on the consent form it lists possible side effects and outcomes such as scarring textural problems infection etc. I'm glad to hear in your practice no one has ever suffered . That's good news for you

I am absolutely sympathetic and have offered people service free of charge to investigate and help. Surgeons do not operate cosmetic lasers of this low caliber. The fact is this laser cannot inflict this type of damage. There can be adverse reactions to IPL due to inexperience of the technician. IPL buy the way is not real laser. It is intense pulsed light. Affirm cannot inflict chunks of skin coming off, reach dna or muscle. It is a fact. If you feel comfortable believing that I cannot change that. Nor do I need to. I am very busy in my practice and have had the best results for everyone. I buy what is best on the market and get rid of what is not up to par. It continues 5 years in a row to be the most popular equipment in the practice. This is an.informative website. All are entiltled to their opinion. That is what I am doing here. Basing on facts and experience of hundreds of people. Myself, friends and family included. I treat my own 71 year old mother. Im not getting paid to comment here. I dont work for the laser company. I simply operate it daily and know it like the back of my hand.

"Even if I over treated someone on purpose"... It's nice to know you think of your patients as lab rats. I hope I never end up in your office.

Lab rats? Obviously you don't know how to read or comprehend words. Helping people with my time and equipment for free is not experimental. Its an act of kindness due to the passion I have to help people and give them results they can count on. Take your bullying elsewhere. I've never experimented on anyone in my 15 years.

I can comprehend and read just fine. Thank you for your service.

After reading my post i said I would never get resurfacing. I meant I would never get it again. Because of resurfacing with an Erbium laser I was left with scars all over & redness for months. That's the reason I'm getting different laser treatmensts now for the scars from the resurfacing. I agree with JSM telling you to beware.

He's nice in the begining, but when there are problems he's out of there. Seriously,he ran out of the office, didn't come back & would have his asst answer every time i called for help. He would never get on the phone. I tried for over a year every week!!! I would find someone else if your looking for someone for skin problems. As far as he's concerned he doesn't know didly about lasers, as soon as he gets your money he's done with you. I saw other reviews about him on line & it seems I'm not alone. Glad i could help before it was too late & thank you for your well wishes.
