Aviclear - doesn’t work for everyone

My daughter is 15 years old and we decided to do Aviclear in October in doctor Nissan Pilest office. My daughter struggles with acne around 4 years but it never been severe. I am against antibiotics and Accutane so she doesn’t have many options.

Thermiva One Treatment Detailed Review

When I decided to try the Thermiva procedure I set out to read as much information on it as possible and as many reviews from others that already had it done. It was disappointing that a lot of people will leave an initial review but never come back and update us on how the final result was or if it actually helped them fix their issues. So I’m going to leave the best review as possible and make sure I come back after every treatment and let you know how it’s working for me or

My PDT treatment

Cosmelan 1 Mask - Irvine, CA

I went to Total Dermatology in Irvine to do Cosmelan peel. I left it on for about 10 hours the doc said 8 but I lost track of time! Face sun burned red, feels dry, tight and hot! I applied Hydra K and going to bed. I will follow the Cosmelan 2 on Day 2 Dr. Pilest said to apply two to three times but if my face was to sensitive or red just apply once a day. I will post tomorrow how I look and feel following Cosmelan 1 mask.

Had Zeltiq Yesterday - Irvine, CA

I had my first zeltiq treatment yesterday. The doctor told me it would be better if I used a large applicator on my right and left sides of my lower abdomen. i did as he asked but now I am worried that my upper abdomen will look huge?? I am hoping it will all balance out. The first 8-10 minutes were very uncomfortable and then I went numb. Now my belly is very sensitive and still a bit numb as I can't feel much unless I bump my belly and then it actually hurts. I do
