A Less Than Ideal Experience
I was recommended to visit this clinic by another physician. I got 31 units of botox and inquired about Pico Genesis treatment.
** Seeking Precision in Skin Tone Discussion **
I discussed the Pico Genesis laser with Dr. Chiu for treating hyperpigmentation in dark skin like mine. She mentioned it was safe for "black" skin and inquired with her staff about their experience with using it on "black" skin. Since black people have a diverse range of skin tones, from light to very dark brown, I felt that the language she was using was unnecessarily ambigious. I asked if she was opened to feedback and suggested using more precise terms like skin tone or the Fitzpatrick scale for clarity. Dr. Chiu said she uses the scale in her notes but continued to use broad ethnic terms. I wasn't offended but felt uncomfortable and wished she had been more receptive to my feedback for professional communication.
** First Botox Experience **
I had my first Botox experience with Dr. Chiu and was surprised and taken aback by the administration process. She quickly wiped my forehead and began injecting without much communication, which startled me and made me concerned about the accuracy of the treatment due to me flenching.
Despite this, I'm mostly pleased with the results. My forehead lines have nearly vanished, and my skin looks brighter. However, I noticed a few veins have become more prominent post-Botox.
The effects appeared within two days which is sooner than expected, and I received 31 units. I’m 24 and am wondering if that may be a kind of high amount for my age.
