Glad your feeling better about your skin. I know how it can affect you with your everyday life. I wanted to know what kind of Fraxel you had, Restore?? I had Restore done 7 times for my scars. It improved them but I still need more work to do. This June I'm trying needling since I had so many Restores, I think I hit my limit on them. The reason I had to go for so many is becasue I had the Resurfacing done. I'm so glad you said you didn't go for that. It left me with tons of scars, a dent & red for months along with broken blood vessels. That's why I need all this work. It's been 6 yrs dealing with this. I had Fraxel Dual where they hit you up every month for 4 months. They say if you have them done closer together it works better. So I tried it. I didn't have anything to lose with the condition I was in. Then I waited a few months & had it done a few more times only I spaced them out a few months. I also found an exfoliant that is gentle on your skin. It's called "Aqua Cure". It's on youtube if you want to check it out. I wish you the best of luck. Sounds like you have a good doctor. Fill us in how your next treatment goes & I'll let everyone know how the needling goes. I've done it on my own a couple times & it seems to do as good as Fraxel with less down time. This time I'm letting the doctor do it with a tattoo gun. Ahhh. Wish me luck.

Hey Kitten, I live in New Tampa too. I think she's worth the trip. I'll be going back in June. She's really good with fillers. She did my eyes with another filler & I don't look so tired anymore. She's a sweetie too. She'll be going to Vegas for another award show. Dr Ormand from the doctors is one of the ones with her. She won the last couple years so I figured I'd only let her do filler from now on. Every once in a while they have Groupons for other services. I got Fraxel done 2 times for $379.00 !! Give it time, it will go down then it will start growing. Be sure to massage the area 5 times a day for 5 min. Where did you have it placed?? Maybe we can go together some time since we live in the same neighborhood. :)

Hey Kitten, I'm happy how she did it, I never got the bumps a lot talk about & I like where she put it in my temples, high cheek area & jowels. I don't look as thin there anymore & my cheek bones look a bit higher. Not sure yet for the dent in my cheek that another doctor in Tampa did to my face. (I had resurfacing done by him & he left me with tons of scars & a dent) I had 2 viles for the temples, high cheek area & my jowels in June 2012 & half a vile for the dent & scars in Feb 2013. Each vile was $800.00 & half for $400.00. Just make sure the doctor your using is familiar with Sculptra. It takes time to grow so I'm still waiting to see if the dent gets fuller since I just had it in Feb. The injection goes very deep into your skin. If it's injected too close to the surface or near the eye area you could get bumps. I'll be going back to her again for the scars if I don't see an improvement but I think I'll try a different kind for of filler for them if it doesn't fill out. So yea, I'm happy with it for the other areas. Let me know how yours goes should you decide to get it done.

I only had a total of 2 1/2 viles. It was put in my temples & cheekbones & bottom corners of my chin. I do like the fuller look of my face. I also had it in my scars. I saw pictures of people she did that had sagging jowls. She lifted their whole face so nice that they wouldn't need any kind of surgery. I just have no patience. I don't like having to wait for results so next time I'll go for another kind of filler for the scars.

Hey adav, I'm so sorry to hear you had bad results from IPL. What doctor did that to you? I had IPL by Dr Pollock in Ft Washington after my laser resurfacing that was done by Dr Jasin in Tampa. The resurfacing left me with tons of scars, dents & my face was beat red for months. The IPL help me with getting the red out & I didn't get any scars from it. . I went to so many doctors to help & no one would except Dr Bernstein. I'm so sorry to hear he treated you like that. He saw my scars & he did lots of treatments but I still have them after 6 treatments of fraxel restore, 2 affirms, 2 perfectas & smoothbeam. I haven't seen him since last Dec. I had to go back to Tampa for the summer While there I found another doctor who supposed to be good with fillers so I had another fraxel treatment with her & some sculptra that takes a while to grow.Still waiting to see results from the that since I had it done in Aug. I have another fraxel due in Jan. when I go back. I'm kind of at my wits ends now. It's been 6 yrs that I've been dealing with laser damage. I'm on meds to sleep & function. I know how devestating it is to see your face scarred. It changed my life, I have anxiety every time I have to go anywhere & now can't sleep. If you don't want to post the Dr's name who did the IPL on the board message me to talk privately. Maybe between me & you we can find someone who can help us. I'll let you know who I've seen & you can tell me about any ones you see. Also how long ago did this happen to you?. I see you said you were 2 months out when you saw Bernstein but I didn't know how long ago that was & if you found anyone since then who helped.
