Fractional Dual Laser for Scarring

When I was seventeen I was in a terrible car accident that left many scars on my forehead and upper eyelids. I was given Dr. Victor Michalak's name by a trusted friend who had seen him for skin cancer. My first meeting with him was in 2008 and I was very impressed with his knowledge and even more so he was very honest about what I should expect for results. Because of the age of the scars he did say it would take many treatments. At this time I was also introduced to his head nurse Mary, who has been wonderful to work with all these years. Beginning in 2008 I had my first CO2 Fractional Laser treatment on my entire face with special care for the areas of the scars. Over the next few years I had two more CO2 Fractional Laser treatments. The outcomes were good and I noticed the scarring improving even after the first treatment. Since then I have continued seeing Dr. Michalak at least once a year and am on my 8th Fraxel treatment. I have changed over to the Fraxel Dual due to the scarring being almost completely gone. At this point I am continuing with the Fraxel treatments more so for anti-aging. Before the treatments I was very self-conscious about my forehead and would wear a lot of makeup to cover it up. I had my last treatment just about a month ago, November 2019 and my skin looks perfect! I am 47 years old and I feel because I have been consistently using the Fraxel treatments that it has greatly improved the condition of my face and neck area. I have no wrinkles and sun damage. I would recommend the treatment to anyone looking to improve the condition of their skin with minimal downtime. You are red and a bit puffy around the eyes the first couple of days. However, you can wear makeup and still go about your daily life without feeling like you have to stay home . The reason I have continued to use Cosmetic Surgery and Dermatology of Issaquah is because of the care given by Dr. Michalak and his staff is above and beyond. They truly care about their patients and want what is best for them.
