amazing doctor!

I went to Dr. Madfes to laser off my stretch marks. They have improved so dramatically I'm thrilled with the results. Dr. Madfes is amazing, super honest not trying to sell you on anything just wants you to look your best!

Fraxel I Liciously AMAZING @61 Years Old. - New York, NY

This was my 2nd Fraxel on my neck, chest and this Monday, I had the first treatment to the face. I had major pigmentation damage due to years of laying in the sun, which Ive now, sadly, had to give up. Personally, I had some minimal discomfort from the Fraxel re:store treatment. Prior to the laser, lidocaine was put on for one hr to the parts to be treated. While recovering from my first Frazel 3 months ago I had a rough time and experienced a lot of red blotches. This went away quickly and can be part of the healing process. Majorly reduced the age spots, tightened the skin and is also helping my minor lines. This time just bronzed, lizard like skin. I haven't started to peel off yet. Im thinking in a few more days. I initially looked like a had a sun burn and now just a scaly bronze to my skin. My neck experienced an amazing restoration from the first Fraxel and the lay turkey skin completely went away. It takes a while for the collagen to rebuild so the skin can retract. To really experience the amazing result you have to give the skin time to rebuild. I am convinced that this Fraxel is the miracle we have been looking for. Also this is procedure that really should be repeated to get flawless results. I will go back for the third Fraxel in a few months. I can't write about this most recent treatment because it just was done. Ill post monthly as I start to recover. Updated on 11 Jan 2014: All is going well. I have just begun to start to shed some of the lizard like bronzed skin. I have no pain but I am not being social this weekend. Figured it'd be best to lay low until Ive shed into my new skin. As far as a 3rd face, neck and chest treatment, time will tell once the skin starts to build collagen. Also need time to evaluate the age spots after I shed. Updated on 26 Jan 2014: It took a solid week for my facial skin and chest to start to flake off. It happens so slowly that only by touching your skin can you feel this shedding. My face still has some spots and now it needs the months it takes to restore and rebuild the collagen. I will need more treatments on my face. I spent YEARS in the sun so Im not surprised that this is the case. My friend has had many facial fraxel treatments, she's 63. I swear it looks flawless. Smooth, spotless, tight, bright, and very minimal lines. These treatments aren't a one time deal, until you're seeing the results you want. Stay OUT of the sun. BooHoo. If you go without 50 block those spots are right there, just waiting to pop up again.

Worth It$750Juvederm

Prep Before Filler Injections - New York, NY

Ive been using Juvederm and had excellent results. My problem was the bruising. I looked awful for many days after. This time I used Arnica dissolving tabs 6 times a day and substantially less bruised. Ive noticed just very light bruises at the entry site. I stopped after the injections. Next time Ill prep like I did this time with Arnica and continue for 3-5 days to see if that makes the bruising heal faster. I bet it does. Also never use aspirin or Advil for one week prior to treatment.

Worth It$750Thermage

Very Happy - New York

I had the new Thermage on my 59 year old neck and jawline just today. Dr Diane Madfes NYC who is an amazing cosmetic derm who worked with Dr Pat Wexler gave me something she KNOWS will work and it did already. I have noticed a tightening immediately with better results in time. Dr Madfes isn't one of the md's who push the latest fad lasers- i.e. Zerona etc but she had no doubts and now neither do I. Go for it!!!. Next time I'm doing my whole face. FYI it does burn slightly but only for a second with every new spot. Nothing intolerable. 5 stars.

Not Worth It$600IPL

Broken Capillaries and Real Health Concerns - New York

I've never been so disappointed or disturbed by a doctor of her office. Many reasons, but I'll focus on where she ripped me off. While at her office on 2/15/16 I asked her to zap a few broken capillaries. I was charged $300 (I was to have it done more effectively and for a fraction of the price elsewhere). I had a follow up on 3/18/16 and showed her that they were still there and not even faded. I was shocked to be charged another $300. I called her office immediately when I got home and saw that the laser hadn't even touched the broken capillaries. I also half expected to be told that the second charge was a mistake (seeing as I only needed it again since the first didn't work). They did not say that. I will spare you some of the details and tell that I've left 6 messages and she hasn't called me back to discuss the charges or my health concerns. I've been seeing her for 10 years and March 18th was the very first time I've called for any reason other than to make an appointment.
