I got this treatment done by a different doctor in his office but I'm putting my review here because it is his Taylor Liberator Treatment that he came up with and I know people are interested in that. It's a TCA peel, subcision, and Fraxel repair laser, and I also got some fully ablative laser. Well, Its been almost 3 months now and I'm so unhappy. This treatment is not it. For one I got a 2 inch hematoma on my cheek which is still there and pretty firm, my cheeks are still numb which apparently takes 6-12 months to heal which was never explained to me, my cheeks are way bigger than they used to be and I don't even look like myself anymore. My cheeks hang down now and I have jowls like a puppet. It looks terrible and looking back at what they did, theres no way you wouldn't have some sort of scar tissue. My cheeks are lumpy now all over and just big and the laser also gave me microtexture on areas where my skin was near perfect like my temples and outer edges of my forehead. It made my scars less shallow but is completely negated by the fact that my face looks like I gained 30 pounds and now I don't know what to do. I was reading just now that subcision is to form a layer of scar tissue under the depressed scar to raise it up. Well, then why are they doing subcision to your whole entire surface of the cheeks literally forming a cm thick layer of scar tissue over the entire surface not just the scars. When I smile now my cheeks look so huge. Also, I'm out $4000 dollars. I do not recommend this treatment.

Oh sorry about your results. Did you ask the dr what happened? Is it possible you are still swollen? You should get a refund.

Definitely get a refund or get some other kind of treatments, but not face treatments!!! So sorry this happened to you... Do you know if he's performed these type of treatments before?

Dear Cindy, I think that is all the the swelling and you still need time to recover and all this will subside. There are no invasive treatment for such a difficult problem like the acne scars, without a long recovery. I wish you a very good result at the end, and that's all what matters. Please stay strong
