How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

OK... So my CO2 Treatment is on hold
After talking with my fiance, mother and daughters I have agreed to go the non invasive route first.
I have started by using Retin-A and Hydroquinone on my face, neck and chest. I also have invested in some high quality products from ZO SkinHealth and Obagi Nu-Derm. I'm excited to see what these products will do for me. I can always have the CO2 laser in a year or so if this doesn't work.

Got my quote! Lumenis C02 Laser Treatment for Full Chest & 10 Facial Spots
Just got my quote and I'm so excited! For the full chest and 10 spots on my face I am looking at $2816 which includes the Doctor fees, facility fees and anesthesia. I have been told that I will need 5 days off of work because during the healing time I need to keep the areas moist to promote faster healing. Tomorrow I will start my pretreatment of .25 retinae and a Hydroquinone to promote collagen. Going to talk to my finance tonight and work tomorrow. I'm hoping to schedule for the first week of december!
Had my consult! Yip Yip!
I had my consult last wednesday and I have to say it was a great experience. My doctor spent over an hour with my finance and I. He listened patiently as I expressed all the concerns I had about my skin and that I wanted to look my very best for my wedding day. He was very thoughtful with his diagnosis and even kidded me for saying that my skin condition was REALLY BAD! If anything he said it's in fair condition which means that I should have very good results doing a spot C02 laser treatment on the bumps (moles) that I have 11 in all. He said that this will give me a smooth canvas for the makeup artist and will be the biggest bang for me. We are also going to address the skin on my chest at the same time. He says that the CO2 laser not only gets to the roughness that I hate but, will even out the skin tone removing the red and brown spots I have from too much sun exposure.
I also got to ask him about a couple of other things that were bothering me. I thought that my eye brow was drooping but, in fact one of my cheek bones is more prominent that the other which as I have gotten older has become more obvious to me. He recommended a chemical browlift (botox) to fix the problem. I also asked him about the extra skin I am developing on that same 'droopy" eye and he says that the chemical browlift will work for that too for now as the spacing between the brow and lid is the same for both of my eyes. Whew!
So what does this all mean? Well... I am going to talk to my work about being able to work from home for a week so that I can get the CO2 scheduled. If they agree then I will book ASAP. Wish me luck!
