Dr. Geddes and team made the entire experience easy. Settling my nerves, being very communicative, friendly, and while it's only been 3 weeks since my procedure I'm already seeing great results. Cannot recommend her enough.
40 yo male with severe hyperhidrosis all my life. Armpits, hands and feet being the most severe. At this point, I have tried nearly everything shirt of surgery to cure. Was looking into the $10k invasive surgery that cuts the nerve but, after further research, discovered MiraDry. Just had the procedure done today and, so far, so good. Painless procedure that lasts about 90 min. Will update in few days/weeks as to results. If results live up to the expectation, this will be a "miracle" procedure that will be life changing. No more living life around the type/color of shirt i have to wear out in public. Next question is...when will procedure be available for hands and feet! Updated on 11 Oct 2017: Day 2...zero pain, slight swelling still, bruising still visible. No sweat whatsoever EVEN after intense workout this morning.
Dr. Geddes-Bruce has been a blessing! She is very understanding and empathetic while at the same time confident. She set up a treatment plan for me to correct laser damage (distinct scarring and discoloration) done by a different physician. She thoroughly explained my options, set expectations, and patiently answered all of my questions. We started with a test patch, mostly to help alleviate my anxiety, and have proceeded with two additional treatments. The scars and redness are much improved and I am hopeful that after another round of treatment they will not be noticeable at all.
Dr. Geddes recently did a smart liposuction procedure on me and I am completely thrilled with the results. I couldn't recommend a better doctor. She is the perfect package for a doctor. She has a radiant personality that makes you feel comfortable and she is extremely intelligent. Every concern I had she addressed and adding ally has an amazing staff that she works with that was the upmost professional. Definitely recommend her.
First of all, let me preface that I loathe most doctors. However, not Dr. Geddes! I visited her first a few years ago for my toddler's eczema issues. I had such a great experience that I ended up asking questions at that visit about me possibly getting Botox. Dr. Geddes was so sweet and patient with my every single question (I probably had 100!!). I set the appt that day to have my botox done a few weeks later. The procedure was a very pleasant, painless and easy experience. I was worried about pain, bruising, etc but Dr. Geddes was very informative about the procedure before starting. Then during the it, she spoke through each step...it made me so calm! Her nurse was awesome too! Needless to say, I will be back very soon. The results were amazing, healing process was nothing and I feel prettier/younger/better! Thank you Dr. Geddes and team for an overall great experience! I am so happy and proud to be your patient -- Thank you! - From a doubtful and 30-something year old momma!! :)
I went to the Dermatology & Laser Surgery Center because my face was 2 toned and I have been very paranoid about it for years. As an African American I was told we did not need to use sunscreen so for years I was not taking care of my skin. I have tried everything anyone has recommended to no avail. I went for a consultation from Dr. Geddes prior to my treatment date and left feeling excited about the fact that something could be done to even out my skin tone. When I returned I received a Clear and Brilliant Treatment, Microdermabrasion, Filler and Botox which totally amazed me with the results. Since my first treatment I am using the Lytera and my skin is lightening every day. My friends and co-workers notice something, but they are not sure what it is. I will continue my treatments because this is the best my face has looked in years. Thank you Dr. Geddes and Dr. Friedman for the great service you provided to a person who thought there was not hope!
I am going in for my smart Lipo tomorrow 4/14/17 I am so excited and thinking to myself is this really happening?? I have been wanting to do this for the past year and now it's finally here!! I am looking forward to this procedure due to I've had 5 kids and I want my tummy back the way it was before kids. I hope everything goes well.
Hi bertieboogie, I personally don't feel that more procedures (more Botox, lasers, peels) is the answer to your concerns. At least, not yet. I think you need to be seen in person to take a good look at these lines. Are they temporary? Do they go away through out the day? Are you getting more over time? Also, do you have any similar photos before the Botox was done (selfie style, same lighting, etc.)? You should return to the person who did your cosmetic treatments for additional help and guidance. Hopefully you went to a board certified and cosmetically trained dermatologist or plastic surgeon. Good luck!
Hi Chantal, Please see your board certified dermatologist for help. There is a skin condition that can cause linear atrophy (a dent) of the central face. This can only be diagnosed in person after a proper physical exam. Best of luck!
Hi, I think the best treatment choice for you would be a treatment with the MiraDry laser. Most patients see a huge improvement in their sweating (and odor) after one laser session. Botox injections can work as well, but the results are only temporary. Good luck!
Hi jg1113,We published a paper on this rare phenomenon. It can only be corrected with liposuction. It's best to first speak with your treating doctor about this complication. Best of luck.
Hi! It is definitely not too late to have another cycle performed. Just remember - the machine will only get rid of the fat, not the loose skin. Good luck!
