Fraxel Dual - Daily Progress - Atlanta, GA

Dr. Whiteman Did an AMAZING Job - and the Results Are Still Great 7 Years Later! - Atlanta, GA

Thank you so much for the info! Good luck on your journey :)

You may be right, looking at my pre-fraxel pictures it may be there. Perhaps it is just more noticeable now that my skin color is more even. Honestly though, I still don't see much improvement in my scarring, and it is 6 months past my first Fraxel treatment. Color - better, scarring - not significantly improved.

So sorry the Spiro made you feel yucky. It made me feel weird for the first month or so (I also have generally low blood pressure) but since then I guess my body got used to it (I take 100mg daily), and it has been the only thing ever to help with breakouts. I still break out, but far less (usually only around my period) and they seem to go away quicker. Did you try only taking the spiro right before bed? That seemed to help me with the faint feeling. Also have you tried the clarisonic mia? I have really seen an improvement in the texture of my skin since I've started using it, not to mention any serums or moisturizer seem to absorb better. The final change I made (not sure how much each step helped!) was to make sure I change my pillowcase and wash it after two days (meaning I only sleep on each side once). Seemed to me that sweat, any hair products, etc. would not be helpful to sleep on. good luck! :)

I haven't been back to her to mention it, to be honest!

Sorry, for some reason I didn't get notices when I got these newer posts! As I recall, it took about 3 weeks to start seeing changes from the spironolactone, and only after it was upped to 100 mg per day. Other changes I made were to change my pillowcases every two days (so I was only sleeping on each side of the pillowcase once before it got washed), and I also started using the Clarisonic Mia to wash my face. That thing has been a godsend! Hopefully since it has been a couple of weeks that you asked, yours has improved?
