Kybella

Kybella-ya later neck fat!

Thank you Dr. Peter Chein of Lumos Dermatology for the Kybella treatment results, that came out exactly as Dr. Chein said they would, even better. I was nervous when I saw the needle dots, but they did not hurt. After the swelling went down, the fat started to dissipate, every couple of weeks I noticed my neck skin shrinking. I made a follow-up appointment several months later, Dr. Chein performed a second MUCH smaller treatment. Now I have jawline and neckline I had a the top of my male modeling career.

I am back to my 25 year old waist at 45, after 1 session

I came to Dr Peter Chien at Lumos Dermatology in NYC. I am so pleased with the results. Just a few months later I started to see a difference. Now 10 months later (no add. treatments), I went from a 35 in. waist back to 32 in. waistThis reviewer received a gift card from RealSelf in exchange for their review.

I cannot believe the results! It was absolutely worth it

I have had stubborn belly fat and chin fat removed by Dr. Chien using CoolSculpt. I got my jawline and my waist line back. It was a strange experience both times, but it was absolutely worth it. Dr. Chien was great. He educated me about the process and was exceptionally attentive throughout. I admit, I was apprehensive but he made me feel at ease and I couldn’t be happier with the results.

SculpSure

Body contouring with SculpSure for bodybuilding

I had SculpSure done and noticed a big difference with tightening. Even as a professional personal trainer who has competed in bodybuilding, despite getting lean with diet and training there would be extra skin that needed to be tightened. SculpSure not only reduced the fat further but also tightened up the skin. Thank you Dr. Chien!

Love my New Neck Sans Fat!

Peter gave me 2 sessions of Kybella. The first treatment was 36 shots, which made me nervous, but Peter was VERY gentle and careful. I only felt the slightest little pinches (the needles are tiny). I experienced minor swelling the first few days, and then gradually it went away. My second treatment was half, about 18 shots. This went healed up in just a few days. Now I no longer have any fat in my neck, and I NEVER have the need to have the procedure ever again for the rest of my life. It is affordable and well worth it. I look 10+ years younger!

31 AA F W/ Deep Boxcar and Ice Pick Scars on Cheeks - New York

So, I've been struggling with acne from me teens, since then it has calmed down to about one major break out a month around my cycle. Since my acne begun I always picked, pinched and squeezed, thus causing deep boxcar and ice pick scars on miltiple areas of my face, mostly on my cheeks, after looking at a lot of realself reviews I decided to take advantage of a groupon for a fractional laser treatment. The procedure was quick about 45 minutes in total including the consultation with the Dr. He performed the procedure with a Polamar 1540 @ level 50. He did four passes to each cheek. Ok, did mention that it hurt? It feels like getting a tattoo, but in slow motion. The first pass wasn't so bad, but by the time he got to the fourth I was ready to go. After the Dr. was done he applied a retna A gel, and two ice packs. Before I left I was given care instructions and some sunscreen. The Dr. Suggested that I have three more treatments to see major repair, but noted that I should see some improvement by the second. I'm waiting a few weeks to see how my skin reacts before scheduling my next appointment. Updated on 3 Oct 2015: So, 1 week in and I had to take two days off of work, I broke out to the highest power. I'm going to charge it to the overuse of rose hip seed oil, but I cried. Skin where the treatment is still rough with track marks vibisle, and I want to see improvement so bad but,outbreak is a major setback. I will be getting a second round in three weeks Updated on 15 Aug 2016: So I'm back with an update, because I realized that a year later my scars pretty much look the same or maybe even worse..lol (crying on the inside) I'm considering doing another session. I'm desperate and I don't know what to do. Eventually all track marks do go away, but in the meantime there may be dot marks all over treated areas. Good luck everyone!
