Not Worth It
Spent: $425 in Boston, MA

My experience was a disaster. I traded in major blood vessels for hyperpigmentation and hypopigmentation. In other words stripes on both cheeks. I am so depressed I could die. I wish I never had the procedure done. It was the first time I went to {doctor's name appears above for registered users}. My advise is to stay clear of her. She doesn't know what she is doing. The settings for the laser was way to high. Even after more than two years my face still has stripes. Can anyone recommend a doctor that repairs botched laser procedures. I have had prior successful treatments with different doctor with great results.

If you have stripes after two years, then it is probably the MISSED areas that are showing up. Hyper and hypo disappear after about six months.

I had the same doctor she ruin my face as well. Since 2006 my face has been scarred. I tried to sue but couldn't find a lawyer to take the case. I am trying to fix my face as well.
