Best Procedure to Reduce Smokers Lines Above Lips - Birmingham, AL

During a routine visit with a dermatologist, I inquired about the best way to get rid of my smoker lines above my lips. I was told filler was the best way to do this. I was told 3 syringes injected into my lips would help make the lines less noticeable and that they were running a special that month of 550.00 per syringe. I knew nothing about facial procedures, but I knew I didn't want my lips injected. I told them I would need to think about it before making that decision. I didn't feel comfortable about this doctor's advice especially since they performed a full body exam, addressed my skin problem and talked about my smoker lines within 10 minutes max.
After leaving the appointment, I went home and decided to educate myself about the best way to address my smoker lines. I found out alot of good information when I was directed to this site. I read everything I could and decided to find a good doctor in my area to get a consultation with. I did my homework and read reviews and checked credentials for each doctor. I finally settled on a doctor and made my consultation appointment through this website.
I was nervous and excited to go to the consultation, however, when I entered the doctors offices, I was very impressed and relaxed. The receptionist was very nice and welcoming. My appointment started right on time. When Dr Petro came in, she listened to my concerns and explained different procedures with me and the pro and cons of each one. Dr. Petro spent about an hour with me and during that time, I was impressed with her professionalism, knowledge and compassion. I fully understood that the CO2 lazer would provide the best outcome I was wanting. I was versed as to what to expect before, during and after the procedure. I felt no pressure whatsoever to have the procedure done, like I did at the dermatologist. I felt very comfortable with Dr. Petro and her staff and the facilities.
After sleeping on it, and discussing the doctor and procedure and what to expect with my husband, I felt very confident about having Dr. Petro perform this procedure. I had the procedure performed the next week and I am one week after the procedure. I am very happy with the results so far. I feel very blessed to have found Dr. Petro and look forward to using her and her facilities for future needs. If you are looking for a doctor to answer all your questions, inform you on the best procedure for your needs, have the best facilities and staff available, with exceptional reviews and have compassion for you, then you need to meet Dr. Petro. I could not get over how beautiful she is, but she is more beautiful on the inside.

I wanted to correct the name of the lazer used during my procedure. It was not a co2 lazer, but a Halo lazer. Dr Petro was able to use the highest setting on me without feeling any excessive pain. All through out the procedure she kept asking how my pain level was and was I comfortable. I would certainly trust her to do this procedure again, if need be. I can really tell a difference in the lines above my lips, and feel like it was a success.
