No breaks for me. Wow

I wish I could leave negative stars. I chose Dr. Wendel to help me after laser left marks on my facial skin. I traveled all the way from Ohio after they made an appointment for me; took gas money and paid for a week's hotel stay and drove all the way from Northern Ohio to Nashville and then found out they cancelled my appointment because they are 'too scared to treat me'. They said they left me a voicemail but my voicemail isn't even set up to get messages. They decided to screw me over AND THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT MY SKIN IN PERSON! So rude I cried. What a waste and they were very mean to me when I went into their office anyway- I didn't even get an apology or one glance of compassion! I have never been treated so unfairly in my life. The manager was especially heartless and totally rude. I sat there in tears and she cared ZERO. And to think I chose him because he has received 'compassionate doctor' awards. Don't waste your time! Go to the doctors that really want to help people. You've been warned!

I have done some research and so I am most likely going in for resurfacing again but with a micro laser peel at deep settings. I will let you know if this works since i have lines everywhere except around my eyes for 8 months now. Not only is it strange in appearance, but my face is soooo uncomfortable since I suspect the nerve signals are kinked up like a hose in my face. Hope a sanding down on the raised tracks via micro laser peel will again free up my face. Hoping to actually love my skin again too! Get the result I originally wanted this time around- hopefully! I am praying to Jesus for a miracle answer through this procedure... I am going to JJ Wendell for a consult Wednesday this week since they say they have seen this problem before and helped it.
Also taking good vitamins now, vitamin C and D and collagen too and Zinc (zycam chewables). Going to eat good, sleep good and this time using a neosporin anti bacterial, anti-itch, anti-scar jelly that is infused with Zinc also instead of basic aquaphor. I had to buy like 25 tubes of it but this stuff healed some of my other wounds perfectly within days. I figure I need to free up the nerve signals in my face because my face feels paralyzed/squeezed since the lines everyone have kinked up my nerve signals. I figure get the lines out- even if it means more laser is WORTH it because my face is in a prison right now. What have I got to lose? Plus I have been praying for a miracle for 8 months and I know my God answers His Children with what is best for them. I am trying and not giving up-ever. I will post the outcome but as it stands- the consult is this week.

Also microlaser peels get the BEST laser reviews (9.4 out of 10 here on Realself) and can be repeated until results are desired and settings can be deeper. There isnt a line or grid shape pattern beamed onto your face from the videos i've seen and supposedly you heal WAY faster depending on how deep you go. I want a deep treatment since I am traveling far and want a once and done treatment therefore. So I have decided if this doesnt work then I will go with dermabrasion. But I have a feeling this is going to work. Prayers please. <3

Great Idea

Hey everyone; I have decided I am going somewhere over the next week or so to have surgical dermabrasion done (not to be confused with microdermabrasion). This was the procedure used BEFORE lasers were being fired up....and is done by actual plastic surgeons. This will get rid of the lines and free up my nerve endings from all the 'kinks' in my nerve signals in my face. Wish me love and blessings!!!! Will update as this process unfolds.
