Amazing Doctor!! Incredible Results. Better Than Expected!

Let me start by saying WOW! The office is incredibly beautiful with art sprawled across the walls.. reminded me more of a gallery than a Doctors office, That is until you enter a treatment room. Dr Zelken himself styled the office with his impeccable taste, every little detail is refined. I knew I was in great hands just from how the office looked (attention to detail). Now lets start with my skin.. I had acne when younger, I had scarring and pigmentation from picking and squeezing pimples. I wanted to work fine lines, pore size, texture and overall complexion. After speaking with Dr Zelken and Nurse Miki, I decided co2 would be my best bet! They do all different kinds of treatments and surgeries so if co2 seems to aggressive than they have other services for you! The co2 itself was pretty painless for me. I numbed for 40 minutes with topical numbing cream.. Miki has a very kind personality and is gentle and funny. Nurse Miki made me feel so at ease. The treatment itself last just under a hour.. I did puff on some ProNox during my treatment but I actually did not feel much pain at all. After my treatment I felt hot, I would say its like a sunburn. The hot feeling in my skin subsided after about 2 hours and then I felt relatively comfortable from there on out. I would say my downtime last one week. At first you are keeping the skin moist with aquaphor and doing vinegar washes.. you want to keep it absolutely clean. after about day 3 you start feeling tighter and itchy... this means you are healing. I would say I started to peel about day 3 or 4... and from then on out things progressed quite quickly. My skin was glowing and all the imperfections I had were gone. No more scarring, pigment or blemishes.. my pore size was changed dramatically. My complexion is so much more even and my husband even was shocked at my results. I would absolutely recommend this treatment. I am so glad I did it! I will have it again in the coming years. My skin is plumped up and my fine lines are gone! I would say my results were dramatic with many people commenting on what did I do?? Thank you Dr Zelken and Nurse Miki... Ill be back for other treatments. This is my new home for everything aesthetic and cosmetic!! SO HAPPY!
