How are you feeling now? Have the shooting nerve pains gone away?

Please let us know.

Where is your sugeon located? what city and state is he or she in? I want to make sure I don't go to that individual.

I will be posting my professional photos showing all the hair around my hairline that the doctor burned off. He burned hair going back one inch. Incidentally I had a friend present before and during and after the surgery that witnesses sthe doctor giving me his card and writing his home and cell phone number down, and encouraging me to call him aabout anything. On the third day I began itching so bad that even benedryl did not even pahse the itching. It was unbearable and becasue my adrenals were secreting so my=uch cortisol I was up all night long for two weeks straight. It was very hard on my adrenals because I was in a fight or flight mode. I had asked the doctors nurse about itching before the proceedure and she brushed it off and said " just becasue someone else ithced doesn't mean you will". I called the doctor at home several times because I could not bare the petroleum that he insisted I reapply to my skin, which I did religeously. this is very very bad for the skin however because it does not allow it to breath. It can cause a severed reaction. I had a reaction to the horrible cleanser he gave me with his own name on it and to the petroleu. junk from the laser company that he instructed me to use. The problem is that I followed all of his directions andinstructions and everything caused me to become irritated or sick. Interestingly enough each time I called the doctor at his home, he took my call. Most of the time his wife answered and I nicely asked to speak to Dr. ------, and she nicely connected me to him. Now someone that doesn't want to talk to someone elswe would tell his wife to screen the call and he simply would have the wife say he was busy or that he was not home. This was not the case. He always talked to me, although it made no difference at that time or the outcome of his lousy work. At some point the doctor asked that I no longer call him at home, so I stopped calling him there. He was afraid of being sued becasue he did not provide me with honest disclosures and becasue he burned off a bunch of my hair, so he filed papers to get a restraining order. I refused to contribute to his madness or to waste my money on attorneys. for all of you out there, incase you don't know anyone can get a restraining order against anyone else. They don't have to prove a thing. All you have to do is write up a bunch of lies and sy that someone threatened you and go into court and you will get a restraining order against the person that suposedly threatened you. It is really big business for the legal profession and it can cost $4K to deal with it. I went to two follow up visits at the doctors office and told him I was afraid of him becasue of what he did to m and I refused to go into his private room and insisted on meeting with him in the lobby. All he had to offer me was a very strong shot of cortisol which my nuerologist advised me to refuse. My neurologist said " Oh don't you dare let him inject you with cortiso, that will really mess up your adrenal glands" I trust my neurologist and do not trust the doctor at the lasser center in San Ramon. Like I said perviously a well known hairdressor in Lafayette sknows many women who have also had a bad experience at this laser center and whose faces this doctor has messed up , just as he has with mine. I never was at all rude to the doctor or his wife. The doctor was negligent and gave me disclosures that must have applied to several years earlier when he was much less aggresive using lower settings on the Mixto equipment. He made three passes on the sides of my face and to this day I have prickly sensations on the sides of my face and my skin is red and feels burned. It has been 6 months how and the doctor said I would be heeled. I wanted to have blephoroplasty surgery on my eyes. the doctor and his nurse were very aware prior to my surgery that I wanted to have the blephoroplasy after the laser resurfacing to my face. They both assured me I could do it within a month or two after the resurfacing surgery however I cannot. The doctor from the laser center Dr. T as you probalby know him, states that the prickly pins and needle sensation I have been having now for 6 months is the formation of collegen. Dr. T is a dermatologist. Interestingly enough all of the plastic surgeons I have consulted with state that thsi feeling is nerves. What in the heck has this docotr done to my nerves. He was way too agressive and has damaged them. WARNING WHAT EVER YOU DO DON'T GO TO THE LASER CENTER IN SAN RAMON THIS DOCTOR DOES NOT KNOW EWHAT HE IS DOING. STAY TOONED FOR MY PHOTOS OF THE BURNED OFF HAIR LINE AND MY BEFOEE RESURFACING PICS I LOOK MUCH BETTER BEFORE THEPROCEDURE I recommend maybe doing the less invasive fraxel where you go back for multiple treatments and then have a face lift. The CO2 in the worng hands can be very damaging and it is a huge shock to the face, the organs and the entire health of the body. The fractional CO2 is suposed to be akin to a second degree burn. My experience was deeper than second degree. Thanks for reading this and I sincerely hope it was helpful. Stay tuned for the photos.

I would not recommend Mixto. It has been 6 months now and I have nerve issues in my face. My face still feels tight and burned with the pin prickle sensation. And I have twice as many scares as before the treatment was done. I have not seen any results. As a result of the way too agressive laser treatment my skin is left over sensitive to many products. I suffer from black heads that I never had before and enlarged pores since havint the Mixto. The doctor that treated me gave me release papers that stated I would only be red for two days and swollen for one or two days. I have been very fatiged and require a lot of sleep since the treatment because he really damaged the skin on my eylid too. The disclosures which I will post at some point down the road have a lot of falacies. As a result of my complications the doctor told me he revised the paperwork after my proceedure. It has been very emotionally devestating for me because my skin was so nice before the procedure. My scares were hardly visible before hand. It is hard for me to handle all the new scars. I am not alone either. A hairdressor in Lafayette claims she knows many women whose faces have also been ruined by the dermatologist in San Ramon. I don't know if my nerves will ever heel from this tragic burn.

Hello, I had Mixto in San Ramon on august 21, 2009 and had the same experience as you. My skin is all saggy and I have no elastin left at all. I look older. My skin was nice a tight before having the procedure. Now I have saggy jowls and more lines and puffiness in my chin. I have more scars than ever. I am a very attractive woman and the docotor has ruined my face. I literally have a completely different appearance for the worse. We should talk about this some more.
