Dr. Sawyer is a protectionist. She is brilliant, honest, and an artist when it comes to botox, derma fillers, anything to do with the cosmetic dermatology. I've been lucky enough to be a patient of Dr. Sawyer's for almost 6 years and have been more than pleased with her gift of aestetics as well as her wonderful, bright, and truly honest personality. I have refered several of my hard to please family members/friends to Dr. Sawyer and they are awed by her talent. The staff is wonderful, the office extremely clean and sterile. I can't say enough good about Dr. Sawyer. She is truly an excellent doctor and person.
Warm, friendly environment. Dr Sawyer and staff were very interested to hear my concerns and really listened to me. Very honest in the areas she could help in and those that would be better served by another specialty. Dr Sawyer is truly gifted, skilled, and passionate about what she does and it shows in her work. There was no down time due to her injection technique. I was able to leave the office and go shopping, and work the next day. I left wondering why I hadn’t done this sooner! I will definitely be a returning patient for future needs.
I was hesitant to try sculptra at first because it's semi-permanent and it is by far the most beautiful filler I've ever had. I attribute this mostly to Dr. Sawyer. She corrected volume loss in my mid and lower face, left cheek and temples. People have commented on my skin, hair and and make up for the fist time in years and it's because Dr. Sawyer made me look like the best version of myself.
I have had IPL treatments several places but the results were so much better at Birmingham skin and laser! Highly recommend this treatment for melasma and overall better skin. I have also had injections under my eyes by Dr. Sawyer. BIt made a huge difference for circles under my eyes and looked 100% natural. I would not trust anyone else in town for these types of procedures!!
I have a round of fraxel 2 years ago and decided to get another one . But when I got to the doctor office, she said she could not do laser on me because the psoriasis flared up around my forehead and my temple!! So she said I should try microneedling because it won't heat up the skin and won't interfere with the active psoriasis!! So I got my numbing cream on waited for an hour then the nurse came in and did it!!! The numbing cream working wonder because I did not feel a thing, it actually feel good when the needle vibrating on my face!!! Nothing happen yet but I already like it way better then fraxel because it's did not hurt, I don't feel burn , hot or any thing! It's just look a little scary after all done!!! I decided to do just on my lower face and not my forehead or chin because I don't have scars there!! Today only my second days !! So I will update some more pictures!!! Updated on 8 Mar 2015: My skin started to peel , my skin feel much firmer, beside the little pin point bleeding bruise spot, skin heel up real quick, the are advertised in some people it heel up as soon as 24 hours! Updated on 20 Mar 2015: Here are some pictures 10 days after!! I feel great! Skin look dewy!! No pink or hyperpigmention !!! Yeah! I support to go again on the 3/28. To answer the question if they use any serum in me, yes they did!

It's been 3 hour from my first session of fraxel, the doctor decided to do just the 1927 wave length to get rid of my pigmentations and then have me come back for the 1550 which is for acne scars since I really dont want any thing to aggressive on the first time! Like the doctors some where in here said, it's better to be under treated than over treated, cause you will risk skin irritation and hyporpigmentation later on. Like all other review, I have numbing cream on for an hour, then it be wiped off, and the nurse perform the fraxel on me with level 3 coverage which is 30%, and 10 mj and 4 passes. I don't feel any pain, just a little stinging sensation. When it done the nurse put some aloe Vera cooling gel on top of my sunblock and I'm ready to go! My face feel really tigh and tingling afterward, and I spray my face with some sun burn protection mist in the car to cool my skin down also added the moisture . 3 hour later my face I looked like a good tan from the beach! Already the fine coffee ground color already resurfaced on the skin. This is mean when all these skin flake off my complexion going to be perfect!! Bye bye pregnancy masks!!! I'm so exited that I'm finally have the courage to get this laser done after reading all that horror stories about fraxel. If you decided to do it , my advise is go easy on the energy level, don't go to deep that your skin have to work hard to recover all the damage skin. But do more session instead! I paid 3,600 for 4 session. I did one session today! 3 more to go about 6 weeks apart! I try to upload photo directly from my phone but don't know how! Sorry! Updated on 20 Sep 2012: The night after fraxel, my chin started to bleed in to a pinpoint spots, i guessed its from eating and stretch the skin in that area out. The next day, my skin feel like fine sand paper, a lot of dark ground coffee color on the surface. No peeling yet, no swelling or any thing, and when i wash my face its does not sting or feel sensitive any more. Updated on 24 Sep 2012: Today is 5 days after my first fraxel. My skin very nice and smooth. Most my dark spot is gone except for some really dark ones. My skin is not to pink, since the setting was really low. There was not any swelling afterward, skin just feel really tight. From some reviews that posted on here, some are like to use vaseline or aquaphor on their face, but i do not think its a good idea since these product will clog pore and create those typical white head that a lot people was experience after fraxel. and they are very greasy. So i only use Aveeno spf 30 sensitive moisturizer for face and Neutrogena spf 110 for face. I do sprayed my face immediately after fraxel with a sunburn relief Solarcaine with cool aloe, so its cool down the skin while its has some moisturizing ingredient in there too. When i got home i wash my face and then put on a layer of Therapeutic after sun relief gel call SUNBURNT , then moisturizer and sun block. Maybe that why my skin is not red itching, or irritated or have white head.Thanks god...!!! Now i can't wait to come back and have the 1550 fraxel done on my face to address those acne scars that i hate too much. They look a little shallower with just the 1927 fraxel on my first time though. Good thing i have the before and after pics to look for the difference. Updated on 6 Oct 2012: A little update on my first fraxel treatment. Its been 17 days, my skin feel completely normal, no itchiness, sensitive or anything. Two of my customers at my salon had seen my face right after i just get done with fraxel has commented how nice and clear my face look now. As long as this continue to give me improvement of my skin, i will continue to do it until all my acne scar go away completely. As a long time sufferer of Acne scars im hoping every one who consider this procedure will eventually have happy and satisfying results. Updated on 7 Oct 2012: Recently i just have too much free time and read too much of bad fraxel result stories on realself. So i come to the conclusion that fraxel is just like a famous expensive face cream, some use it and love it, some hate it, some don't have any thing to say to it. So it all come down to the type of skin you have. If you have oily skin, and come to use a cream was excellent for dry skin, ít will give your skin a bad break out. And it is not really the cream's fault. it's you that have no knowlege of you own skin. So is the laser, if your skin is sensitive and you like to use higher setting, it is certainly will make you skin worst then what its already is with more sensitivity, redness, itchyness, slow time to heal...ect. So it is important to find a Dermatologist really experience with this fraxel laser. Educated yourself with how different the setting will work with different layer of skin would not hurt either. But on the safe side i probably wait a little longer then 6 weeks to have my second session. Updated on 1 Nov 2012: Its been 6 weeks since my first fraxel, my skin come back to look like before fraxel, blotchy with age spots and acne scars still pronounce. So i kind of discouraged. I'm supported to go for a second fraxel, but had no free time. And i just found out about a Plastic surgeon clinic really closer where i lived also do fraxel, probaly the refine fraxel, because they qoute me 5 session for only 1300, so i probaly will try them out, instead of driving 1 hour away to get them done. Updated on 13 Apr 2014: After one year has past I'm thinking about doing another fraxel, so I decided to put a few more pics if my face so you can come in a take a look if you think there are any improvement of my skin. I do think that my skin does look better, except for those brown spots that I'm dying to get rid of!!!! Updated on 13 Apr 2014: Updated on 21 Nov 2021: The Fraxel is not bad bad left my face being Red for a long time due to the heat .. I guess. Recent I really love to do a procedure call skin pen.. is a type of micro needling using a mechanical pen.. I do it every 2-3 month and it’s got rid of a lot of my acne scar.. my skin a lot smoother too
My face needed rejuvenation. My sun damage, age spots and wrinkles needed to go.
Hi there. In some situations I have done both procedures on the same day, with low energy pulsed dye laser first. After a chemical peel, however, I would wait at least 2 weeks before having pulsed dye laser. Hope this helps. Dr. Sawyer
Hi there. Vollure and Defyne are both considered "off label" for lip augmentation, which means that in formal testing of these products, the lips were not studied. That being said, I have used Vollure successfully in lip lines for 15 months now and it is one of my favorite products in this area. However, there have been instances of delayed nodule formation with this product. This is a potential complication of all fillers, and the lips seem to be a common area for this to happen. In terms of comparison of these two products, Defyne will be more "bulky" and provide more augmentation than Vollure if equal amounts are injected. Longevity should be similar between the two, but this can vary patient to patient. Hope this helps. Dr. Sawyer
Hi there. I recommend connecting with your prescriber to answer this question for you individually, thbut ere is no interaction between these medicines and I have done this very thing in patients who are slower to respond to the Spironolactone. If your acne is truly hormonal in origin, you are on a large dose of Spironolactone that should begin to work soon. Hope this helps, Dr. Sawyer
Hi there. Although using Latisee for eyebrow growth is "off-label", which means the product has not been tested for safety and efficacy in this area, many of my patients have had great success using this product for eyebrows. Hope this helps. Dr. Sawyer
Hi there. While we use caution with VIN, as long as it is closely monitored by your gynecologist, there is no reason to believe radiofrequency treatments such as Femme 360 would cause any harm to the tissue. For mild to moderate urinary incontinence, we have had fantastic results in our office with this device. Hope this helps, Dr. Sawyer
