This will be my final comments. I went to see the nurse in question twice now and she was doing laser on my red spots, even though she doesn't know why it's red, that's scary...the third visit was the most odd. I go in and they ask me to sign a consent form, I ask why since she didn't ask for one with the Sciton or the last two visits with another type of laser..she said I did sign one..she left to get another file and opened it to a consent form that was signed by me but was for the Jag laser and not dated.( i had that done prior of all this for spot spider veins). She acted desperate for me to sign and I told her that I didn't want to sign for something to fix what she had screwed up. I decided I would not stay as she was lying to me and begged me ( please sign it so we can do this laser today, it is free). I cancelled a botox appt and left.
I gave it a little time, then sent a detailed letter to "the doctors" over two weeks ago but have heard nothing back.
So during this whole time no doctor has seen me except one to stick his head in the door and say (Hi nice to meet you)..after all these years I was not remembered which is okay ..but as I started to leave the nurse asked me if I wanted to see a doctor...after 3-1/2 mons! I had asked to see one right after the laser but they routed the call to the nurse.
I am just hoping this all goes away but so far it doesn't seem to be..I work out daily and after the work out I have bright red marks all in the areas she burnt me..
If anyone would like to see pictures I could send privately.
The worse part of it all is that they haven't cared enough to call and show concern. I was just money to them..a lot of it over the years.
Take care everyone

I feel like I this type of procedure is a huge disappointment. In this office... I have had my face fall from botox because I was stuck in wrong area, I have had many black eyes from botox and at times it did not even work. I have had filler bruise me for two weeks and look like a line in my crease instead of smoothness. I can provide more info.

They wanted you to sign the consent form so you couldn't sue them. You should sue them for BIG $$$!

I would love to see your face.. Can you look at my pictures and tell me if that is something like yours.. I hate makeup and now that's my life.. Scared to death I made a horrible mistake.

I noticed in one of your laser photos, day 2 that you took the photo outside. Did you PS not tell you to stay out of direct and indirect sunlight? I had a two pass MLP at 50microns last week and I have been hiding out in my house with closed blinds, like a hermit for the fear of developing scars. I actually had a complication on the first day and my mom said that she's only seen fear in my eyes like that a handful of times in my life - I was sure I would look like Freddy Kruger. Now, however, everything is starting to look good. The only problem is I have acne so the Vaseline has made break out on this terribly burnt face...not fun. I'm not where you are in your recovery so things could still change but to me it seems to be healing good. I bought a SPF100 sunblock and I literally only go outside before dawn or after dusk and will try keep that up as much as possible because I believe that if I don't, that will ruin my skin. How much time did you spend in direct/indirect sunlight the first two months?

I'm sorry that with all the strict aftercare, you still exeoriencing problems:( Look into Glutathione injections...I do them myself twice a week and I think that's probably why my complication didn't turn into a horror story. All the best & God bless!

Why are nurses doing these procedures? Sounds like the doctor bought a new money
machine and has new low wage, inexperienced nurses practicing on you. How can you be worried about naming them publicaly? Please warn others where not to go!

Here it has been almost three months. I have now had one treatment of laser to shrink the blood vessels that have made me into a red freak. I constatnly have to cover them..if I get sweaty working out or just rub lotion on my face the red marks are bright red. This one treatment has not made a difference. She said now she has added to my file that I am "real senstive".. I have been getting things done at this particular office for several years..fine time now to add dthat I am sensitive. She has also mentioned a few times that this laser she is now doing is at no cost but the management of the office does not know or they would not allow it.
On the side of my face that was the worst, there are also little deep lines running in a winding pattern. I think the cracking of my skin also left these as scars.
She is fairly new at this office as the doctors have hired two nurses to do all of these types of procedures, including boto, fillers, etc..
I am still so disappointed but hoping to get back to normal.
Good Luck to all.

Here it is February 8, 2 months after the laser. My skin has healed but I am left with red streaks which look like bursted blood vessels. Now they are going to try some ppl or another type of laser to see if they can zap the veins. May be a slow process since there are so many. I have to wear more make up than I ever had..when I get hot I get really red in those areas..it's still kind of a nightmare as I care terribly about my skin and do as much as possible to keep it looking good..I have taken a huge step backwards....This was certainly due to inexperience I am sure but she makes it sound like it is me even though I had all the right questions and was hesitant... I am still waiting to get into the Dermatologists (Feb 25th) and have still not talked to any of the doctors. The nurse is doing this all on her own.
I talked with another lady a couple weeks ago and she said her face cracked before healing and left permanant tiny scars that look like wrinkles. I am done with it all..The office I go to used to have only the doctors doing the procedures..now they have two nurses in there doing them and this has made me feel uncomfortable. They are all doing that now so they can make more money...not a secure feeling when someone is working on your face.
Take care everyone.
