Dear Aging Julie,
Thank for your sharing your experience. It's important for us to know if people aren't finding procedures beneficial. Only then can we give realistic expectations. I would worry if our patients were too polite to say they thought the treatment was useless.
I agree with laserlady: we have had excellent results with Smooth Shapes and patients have stated they are satisfied and sign up for additional body areas. However, we did buy the new machine which is 50% stronger than the previous Smooth Shapes laser. It became available in June 2010.
We also find it very useful as a pre- and post- Lipotherme procedure to enhance its results.
Usually we don't see success until 6 treatments, but have 8 treatments as our protocol.
Hope this helps.
Great tip. I'll give it a try as it does get rather expensive. I've been using Latisse for 9 weeks and love the longer lashes. They're still blonde though, so for evening wear, I put on mascara and have lashes that look amazingly long.
Dear Oldteacher,
I suspect that a small amount teared into your eye. What I would recommend is putting a smaller amount on the brush and keeping it slightly above the edge of the upper lid. Then none will go into the eye and you can see if you are intolerant. Good luck.
We do see redness for the first few days. The dryness goes away after that. I'd recommend taking 25 mg of Benedryl before applying half of a drop to two lids. Then see how your eyes do with the rechallenge. Please post your results if you do.
