Sweetsneak, I think that you have pretty much summed up my feeling in general: "It is inhumane"!. Many people who are watching these infomercials; thinking about having a minimal procedure, not surgery, that will have them down for weeks, horrible scarring for some and mental anguish for others that last a lifetime. Even those of us who have been through this LSL can scream at the top of our lungs for others to be careful, watch out, get a 2nd opinion, it does not hit home until another unsuspecting person winds up like us. Even though I have had surgery to fix what was done to my face, I cannot get over the continued practice of LSL doctors and what they continue to do. The target marketing of people in a specific age group who are fighting age tooth and nail, wow, what a concept. I do hope that you get your day in court and you get what you need to heal!

McKen58, I am so sorry that you too have suffered the LSL "facial rejuvenation" that many others have. It is a shame that this is allowed to continue. It would seem with all the laws out there there would be someone to protect the general public from such a parasitic company. I can only say I wish you well and hope that you find someone to help you heal. Best, Chrystal Eckes

Voudydi, I see that you have had a LSL yourself... why don't you post your bio so other people will know what your experience was like and what the outcome was. You said Cumberland office? Marietta/Atlanta office? What doctor did you see and how are you doing to date? Let us hear from you. I do hope that you are feeling better. Best Chrystal

Dr. Shaw, you took the words right out of my mouth! BUYER BEWARE! Thank you Dr. Shaw and good luck to you also. Chrystal

Again Dr. Shaw, I have to totally disagree with you! If every LSL office disclosed the true discomfort of the procedure, the real downtime of recovery and for some women the horrible scars that never go away, I think that LSL would disappear. Also, I don't know if you operate out of your office and perform LSL's or if you do them in their office, but if you do, do you inform your patients that none of the LSL offices are JACHO (Joint Commission on the Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations) accredited? When I had my LSL I was certain to disclose every thing and no one ever took my blood pressure, no one called my physician to make sure that it was safe for me to undergo the surgery, nothing. You may run your office differently, but many of the LSL offices and surgeons need to live up to the commercials or quit telling lies to millions of americans who believe the BS. Target Marketing of specific age group is a brilliant marketing strategy & the infomercials certainly must generate a lot of income, on the other side of the coin stands the consumer who is literally without a clue as to how much this procedure can truly cost them in the end. I had much rather pay extra for anesthesia rather than smell my own stench of my skin burning from my face and suffer through horrible, painful shots, over and over. We will just have to agree to disagree! Best, Chrystal Eckes
