  • Posted to Pearl Laser Not Worth It - New South Wales, Australia on 17 Oct 2012

    I am only saying what the doctor told me....but, then, he said I had shingles after the procedure. The folliculitis goes away, comes back, is crusty, itchy and red. I feel like I will never be the same, but what else can I do? I won't be on steroids the rest of my life. Has anyone heard of a doctor cutting out the places that are so bad? The one on my eyelid can't be done without surgery, but I would think the few smaller ones on my face could be cut out.

    I didn't have the CO2 around the eyes and (post-procedure 3 months) still have redness and have developed rosacea. I live in Texas, so I might go see your dr. You look very good!

    I guess the place where I went called it the Pearl Genesis treatment. I was told mine was different from that. I don't know what happened to me, but one eye is fine and the other is awful. I am using a product from Germany called Blemish Balm by Dr. Schrammek. It has worked wonders.

    Pearl can be fractional or not, depending on the frequency and depth. There is a Pearl Genisis which isn't as deep as the resurfacing (I am quoting the clinic who did mine). I will not do any type of laser again. I have decided after my two month ordeal that I am a bad candidate. There are new products on the market that really do work fairly well. Peter Thomas Roth Laser Free Resurfacing Eye Serum is really good. So is plain old Cetaphil. Just stay out of the sun! I know....I am a Texan, but LaRoche-Posay makes great broad spectrum sunshield.

  • Posted to How Do I Treat Folliculitis Around the Eye Area? on 6 Aug 2012

    I am now at 7 weeks out of my laser procedure. The folliculitis is clearing but very, very slowly. I do have chalazion cysts on my eyelids (both eyes now), but they are small. This was a horrible experience for me. I wonder if I can ever be the same. I appreciate all of your help and comments.
