Dear Lasordoc,
Thanks for you're correspondence, and have a few more questions about ACTIVE FX if I may ?
In you're opinion, since I was given an SPF15 sunscreen after my FX treatment, instead of the appropriate 60SPF or sunblock. Could this have caused my hyperpigmentation ? And now must I be worried about CANCER ?
Also, is it typical to use the FX Laser twice in one area ? I have olive skin and was told this treatment would be most beneficial because it persicely skips over the pigment, leaving a percentage of you're pigment untouched. Could this is anyway, may have contributed to my hyperpigmentation ?
I noticed having a stinging sensation, along with bloodshot eye,( for 6 days) along with blurred vision in right eye, and still have slightly blurred vision in right eye. IS THIS TYPICAL ? should I been given eye protection ? I had upper eye area s done along with lower eye region ( entire face & neck treated )
Also, when you perform a procedure, what are you're methods of blocking pain ? After taking 3 LORATABS, having the so called TOPICAL paste applied, and sensory numbing. Why was the procedure so horribly painful ? How much of a role does the TOPICAL creams play in numbing the face ? And should the topical paste been spread evenly all over my face ?
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, and I must give you the respect you deserve. Because you stand behind you're work !! And obviously have compassion, and the acknowledgement that every human face has its own importance & value
Sincerely
Pete B.
i had active fx a 2 months ago in chicago by a well known plastic surgeon. this surgeon is opening his own stores for the skin. i went to this doctor trying to repair acne scars and to smooth out my skin. i was under the impression i was going to receive a deep fx treatment, later finding out this doctor had just trained for deep fx treatments by the distributor a month after my procedure. which is on record. if i had this knowledge in no way would i have allowed this procedure. also the doctor went over my face twice in some area s, from what i researched and spoke to other professionals this is a mistake. the fx lasor is designed to skip natural pigment, using this fx twice would not accomplish this goal. the procedure was horrible !! i would never recommend !!! i was given 3loratab for pain, and doc used paste that was supost to dull the pain, he did not use paste on entire face, slight area on left cheek and slight area on right. i asked if this paste should be spread all over, doc stated this paste was not pliable and it was essentially used to dull needle injections. in my opinion something was done incorrectly. i endured the most horrible pain in my life, mind you i had suffered 3rd degree burns as a child, that was a cake walk. the pain was so horrible i wanted to die, and the doctors assistant had to hold me down from uncontrollable body tremors. even know this was horrible pain i thought of stopping mid procedure, but then wondered what my face would look like then, so i went on.. my face has not improved at all, acne scars seem more apparent ( much worse ) and now suffer from hyperpigmentation because the docs office sent me home with the incorrect spf (15) for my face.. after seeing doc asked what he thought, he found no noticeable improvements but went on to lecture me on sunscreen because i have brown spots all over !! at this point i did not know i was using sunscreen 15 so i put up with lecture, after going back home thinking i applied this sun screen religiously how could i have hyperpigmentation ?? that nite i noticed the 15 spf and was deeply upset. because i found after all treatments a sunblock is required or sunscreen of 60 or higher. during this follow up i asked doc if he would redue procedure he stated no. i am so deeply depressed because of all this then to be treated in such a manner by doctor. i am in the process of building a web site for all to know about the talents of this doctor and to warn others. and have every intention of following up with legal and lic actions ... to anyone considering this procedure research !!! ask for photo s of other procedures which i did not do and remember, just because a doctor has credentials does not make his hand from god.. look foward to hearing from you ............ pete
