Affirm for Hyperpigmentation - Major Damage - Canada

Micro Laser Peel Causes Scarring and Hyperpigmentation - Canada

I was 30 when I recieved the peel........one peel only. Yes the pigmentation problem was caused by it. Two years later I received the Affirm which helped as it did the next year and the year after I had it performed..........then within months after the last treatment strange things began to occur with my skin. I started to see depressions and lines.....I was only 36 at the time......my moms skin in her sixties is better than mine! Lasers of all sorts are dangerous and should especially not be used to repair damage from another. I had horribly oily skin prior to these stupid lasers and now I have to apply moisturizer on my face many times throughout the day..........I have also devoloped rosacea because of the laser treatment. The lasers compromised my skin badly..........not everyone reacts the same ...sure I get that. But rosacea does not run in my family either so don't throw that one at me........I know for a fact what has occured under my skin is from lasers.....no doubt about it.........what is occuring is odd. My skin looks like I had big scabs on my face that someone peeled off too soon and I have that shiny red smooth crinkly looking skin. I have about 5000 bucks worth of filler in my face now so yes it looks better, but it is still unheathy and feels weird too. The nurse who first did my affirm treatment now works at a different clinic I go to. She has told me that her skin has not been the same since she herself had had the affirm treatment. She cannot explain what is going on with my skin but she does see that there is something wrong with it. She has been my support and comfort through this and has made my skin healthier.....as healthy as it can be.

Once a few people who are in the public eye have laser damage then these stories will come out.Till then us little people will be ignored. Get the word out and tell everyone you know that these things can cause destruction of healthy tissue and skin.

Its the long term effects you have to worry about. Imagine what these procedures do beneath your skin. It damages and compromises your skin and eventually the damage will come to the surface. There are no long term studies for this. Doctors praise these treatments because all they want is your $$$$. They don't care about your well being just their bottom line.

It will look good till suddenly it doesn't. Watch your skin because it will change in the future and not in a good way. 6 treatments is waaay too many. One treatment is too many.

Please read the negative posts. Your best bet would be to try something tried and true that has minimal side effect.
