Extensive Hypertrophic Scars Completely Healed

WORTH IT$3,250
I write this review because the services rendered were life changing for me and I want to help others who may also be experiencing severe case of Hypertrophic scarring. After a self administered TCA peel, that was excessively deep and improperly moisturized post treatment, my arms didn't heal properly and I experienced extreme hypertrophic scarring . In Las Vegas where I live I tried to get help but only one doctor would see me and after two visits he eventually declined to treat me. I then found a dermatologist that agreed to see me, but said he didn't know how to heal the scarring and could only refer me to a local plastic surgeon with whom I had had an unsatisfactory experience with for my first breast revision surgery. After exhaustive internet searching that took months while I was in considerable pain, I thought to call Marina Plastic Surgery where I had a successful breast revision done by Dr. Stevens the year before, to see if I could get a referral for a scar specialist. I was surprised to hear from Maria that they had all the state of the art machines and technicians to heal my scars! I was told to send photos to Cory Felber, via text, and within minutes she responded saying no problem, we will use Excell V laser, and several treatments should take care of it. As simple as that! No one ever said a word of admonishment or made me feel like a hopeless case. The compassion and loving atmosphere in this plastic surgery center is the second biggest reason why I now do all my surgical as well as non surgical cosmetic procedures here. the first reason is that this plastic surgery center is the leader of excellence and innovation in the field worldwide. It's well worth the 4 hour drive from Las Vegas to get things done right. I have found prices for all the non surgical procedures are competitive with both the Las Vegas and Los Angeles markets.
I received treatment, practically painless, once a month for 13 months. Cory Felber knew exactly what settings to use to maximize healing time. The results are extraordinary and to have such complete recovery from extensive scarring! I include photos which are un retouched in any way. The before and afters say it all. Now that the color has been dealt with, I will probably do laser treatments to address some of the texture from the scars shrinking. I will post more photos in a couple of months.

These are "before" and "after" photos of 13 treatments with Excel V by Cory felbur. Three weeks ago, I had a Halo treatment for smoothing texture. You can read about Halo, Limelight and BBL laser work I've had done with Cory Felbur at Marina Plastic Surgery in upcoming posts. All treatments rendered excellent results.

The results ARE truly amazing but who can afford 13 treatments? Like my teenage son had severe acne that has now clear up (has left red marks all over his face). I feel bad for him because we spent thousands of dollars to clear up the acne (seriously, one ointment was $900 a bottle and it took 3 bottles before my insurance company said they would no long cover it (and he was on an or and two other topicals) . So the acne is gone but the marks remain. I want to help him fade these dark marks on his face but 13 treatments? Even 4-5 would be beyond my financial means (I am a single parent). Got any suggestions? Do you think the doctor would work with us on pricing given our circumstances. Acne is a skin condition. People treat it like it is just something teenagers go through. Not all teenagers go through it and those who do may have not had severe acne. I'm afraid for him to have permanent scarring on his face causing him social anxiety, lack of confidence, self-esteem issues, even getting a job! People are judgmental about how you look (yes people are shallow and sometimes some people don't care "what's on the inside". They don't even want to know what on your inside even if you have the best character ever if they are put off my your face being so scarred. So any suggestions?
Great results! I look forward to seeing more photos. :)
