Dr Dawes-Higgs suggested I have fraxcel to improve the appearance of the acne scars I have on my face. I put my absolute faith in Dr Dawes-Higgs and was not dissappointed. I had 5 treatments which Dr Dawes-Higgs advised would be the best for me over a 6 month period. The procedure itself is uncomfortable, however the results are amazing. My face was hot and a bit swollen after each procedure, this calmed down by the evening. The treatment and after care I received after each procedure was amazing. My work colleagues could see improvement after my first treatment and now since I have had all five I can see the results. I have regained my confidence and no longer wear full foundation, only BB cream, I can wear my hair up for the first time since I was 27 years old and look people in the eyes not looking to see if they are studying the scars on my face. I would highly recommend the treatment as well as Dr Elizabeth Dawes-Higgs.
I am a woman aged mid sixties .. I have a mild case of scheraderma which has given me deep wrinkles around my mouth. I have had several fillers from various doctors and even contemplated laser resurfacing but was highly advised not to. On a regular skin checkup , my dermatologist could see how distressed I was over my wrinkles and came up with a plan to try to improve my wrinkles and thus my self esteem. We did not strive for perfection but improvement . This has been achieved . I have now had two vials of fillers .
I came to see Dr Dawes Higgs 1 year ago with thinning hair and bad acne problems that I've suffered from for many years. She prescribed me on a few medications and serums that i have been using for over a year. Not only did she set me on the right path but she picked up an abnormal result in my blood-work which lead me to find out the cause of my symptoms in the first place. I am forever grateful to Dr Dawes Higgs for what she has done for me. Not knowing what is wrong with you is the worst feeling ever but thanks to her sharp eye for detail and professionalism my skin is now clear of acne and my hair is thicker & fuller. Also I was blown away by her professionalism by taking before and after pictures which really highlighted the massive difference after treatment. I would not hesitate to recommend her. She is a great doctor & is very personable & professional.
Hi Likelotus, Is this your first injection? If so, in my experience, you often need a 2nd treatment at 3 months. Hopefully then you only need the injections every 9 months or so. It takes a while to see a difference in this area which is completely different to areas like the crows feet and forehead areas. Its well worth going back to your treating physician and discussing this with them. Good luck Dr Dawes-Higgs.
Hi Brendon, it should be OK. However, if it doesn't heal up or it changes in any way then it would be best to get it checked with your local doc.
Great question. Wouldn't we all love to know! The one thing though is it won't be 6 syringes into her lips. I've been watching her transformation and it has been amazing. I must say her treating physician has done a great job as they have kept her facial features in proportion so that her lips still 'fit' her face. They've achieved this by putting a few syringes into other areas of her face such as her cheeks and outer eyebrows. She has also had a procedure to slim down her face at the angle of the jaw. I suspect the next thing we will see is further slimming down of her jaw. This is a procedure done by injecting the masseter muscles of the face with muscle relaxants to treat a square jaw in women (mostly) and also for teeth clenching. I'm looking forward to seeing her next stage!
