I went to visit the Dr. and was shocked at the computer image vs. a picture of me 20 yrs. ago !! I opted for Sculptra,( to lift and smooth facial lines ) Fraxel( to smooth complexion and diminish sun spots, blotchiness), and Botox to erase lines around eyes and nasal labial folds.

So far I have had 1 Botox treatment, 2 Sculptra treatments and one Fraxel Treatment. I look in the mirror and can see the me I used to know.

These are simple and non invasive procedures- not so expensive as to totally break the bank- and worth every penny. I am hooked!!

Great review?

My rating:

Dr. R did a side by side computer image of a current picture vs. a photoof me from 20 years ago. He pointed out areas which could be treated and as he did so, the image on the current photo screen changed to reflect the probable outcone of the procedure. Dr. R. went through each possible procedure in this way. He proposed 3 different treatment plans , each one reflecting various budget plans and "down time". Everything was thoroughly explained. His staff was very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly . There was no pressure. Each treatment was minimally invasive and all but painless. The results for the particular treatment plan I chose were not immediate- but gradual and natural looking. I feel like someone turned the light back on inside of me!! If you are even mildly considering any cosmetic treatments, I would strongly urge a consultation! You won't be disappointed!!

How long ago did you have the Fraxel treatment. The initial results are sometimes deceiving because the Fraxel laser penetrates deep into the dermis (microthermal zones) and the damage only shows much later. You will only see your true results at least 2 years post treatment.
