Peoria....
Have you had any improvement with it filling in? What about your texture? I would love to do something but I am paralyzed by fear of making it worse!!

Dr. Mark Glasgold in New Jersey acknowledges laser damage and has helped others with damage. I have not had any experience with him but hope to consult with him in the spring.

I hae only tried juvederm and it has helped a bit and this device called nuface it is supposed to deliver electromicrocurrent waves to tighten and tone the skin, i have seeen a litle improvement but nothing to rave about. I hae debated radieese, i guess it is a better filler for volume loss but it cannot be taken out if it is injected wrong where as juvederm can. There is alos sculptra that i may try, i just dont have alot of money to being getting fillers all the time. I would just love a midface lift, but i am 30 and my husband thinks its crazy. How about you? Have you found anything that helps?

Who was your doctor as I am thinking of doing this?

Hi Peoria,

Oh my I'm so sorry that happened to you. What did your doctor say, are they going to fix it? Please keep me updated.

You should also check out this forum discussion. This group of ladies went/still are going through the same thing you are, they might be able to lend support or at least provide someone to talk to. Hope that helps.

"Are they going to fix it" Are you for real? They were supposed to be fixing something and they made it worse. Who in their right mind would give them another go at fixing it. Lets hope they don't branch out into eye surgery.
I am sorry this has happened to you, Peoria. Sadly, your story is all too familiar to many of us. I've been 'following' issues such as yours and similar for 3+ years. I've exchanged emails with 100s and 100s over the years who have also been harmed. Please stay strong. You are not alone.

Hi Fighting,

Much like I recommended to Peoria, have you chatted in the forum at all? You are super active and I think could help a lot of the community. Keep me posted.

Thanks,

I am so sorry!!! When did you have your last treatments? Which did you have first and how far apart?
I went to another doctor and he didnt seem to think it was from the laser, when in fact i know it was because the dent appeared that night after i had the laser resurfacing. He recommended filler, which helped a little but not that much...
I had both the erbium and the fractional laser on the same day, it was supposed to yield a better result combining them.
Thanks for the advice i will check this forum out. :)

Yes please do, I think you will find a lot of support and info in there. Please keep me updated. Thanks,

-Britt

When you say Erbium, do you mean the tradition Erbium yag laser?
