I found Dr. Cory Torgerson while I was browsing online and decided to give them a call. They were very friendly and found me a convenient slot for my free consultation. When I arrived, I was placed in a room where then Michelle entered and introduced herself. I explained my reason for being here and she was very knowledgeable and understanding of my situation. She recommended I do co2 laser resurfacing in order to remove my deep acne scars. I abruptly agreed and we set a date for my surgery. Before I left, she gave me a booklet of detailed instructions of all the things that needed to be done. It was actually easy to comprehend.
On the morning, I was extremely nervous because I didn't know what to expect.. When I arrived, Michelle noticed my anxiety and she reassured me that everything will be okay. I felt alot better after I spoke to her. Before the procedure, Dr. Torgerson himself, took me into the room and asked me again is there any questions or concerns before we begin the surgery. He also asked if there are certain areas or details I would like for him to emphasize on. I thought that little gesture was awesome.
Heading into the surgery room, another doctor placed a needle into my right wrist and then I immediately passed out. When the procedure was over, I didn't even realize that it had finished.
My eyes was covered in a warm cloth and I could hear Michelle's gentle voice, asking how I am feeling and explaining to my fiancee what needed to be done. I told her I felt little bit of pain and she gave me a painkiller which helped alot. After I was placed in a wheelchair where a man pushed me all the way to my uber. Overall my experience was fantastic with Dr. Torgerson and Michelle. I am glad I chose to go with them for this procedure. I would call to asks questions and they always gave me answers and even checked up on me the next day.

What kind of CO2 laser did you have? How long will your skin recovery period be? I am also looking forward to see your results!

I was not away that there were different types of CO2 laser. On my receipt it didnt specify anything else. The clinic said it would take 2 weeks to recover and results will be inproving after 2-4 months. I naturally tend to heal very fast. It has been 6 days, all the peeling as finished and now o just have red blemishes on cetain areas of my face. I will post some updated photos in a few minutes the numbers in the photo shows how many days after procedure.
