Dr. Forster truly made my experience perfect

As a new mom, time is not always on my side. Those days of getting rejuvenating facials are unfortunately only saved for Mother's Day and vacations. With that being said, I just knew I wanted to give my skin the pick me up that it needed as well as treat myself to something that was long lasting. I have been struggling with some stubborn melasma, very deep glabella lines and my least favorite, painful cyts on my chin when it is that time of the month. I have spent a small fortune on neck creams, face creams, blemish tools etc but I felt like my skin deserved a revamp so I started to do research. 

After researching the procedure itself, I knew that Fractora RF wasn't going to be "painful" per say but it would not be that relaxing rejuvenation facial that I was used to. With that in mind, I was lucky enough to come across Dr.Susan Forster, MD. We had a great consultation and she asked detailed questions about what exactly I was looking for. She made me super comfortable! 

Dr. Forster literally gave me a play by play of how the machine worked, explained how the RF would also help with my acne scarring and overall she got me more excited to get started when I was initially a little nervous. The procedure itself was as I mentioned, not "painful" but a little uncomfortable. I have to reference the fact that I am a wimp when it comes to even getting my eyebrows threaded and I have no tattoos so I would say I'm a little bit of a baby. )

After placing the numbing cream on my face we got started. The sound of the machine beeps every-time you have an area done and it is a slight pinch. The only true sensitive area for me was on my cheeks. Dr. Forster made sure that she asked me how I was feeling and checked to see if I needed a break numerous times. She was so great to talk to and honestly put me at ease the entire time.



Once I was completed with the session she walked me though the after care procedures. I actually had an event to go to that night and was a little worried that I would be super red but by the time I went out (without face makeup) it actually looked like I just got a little color. So with some mascara and lip gloss I was able to still be in public without scaring small children. The next 3 days for me were where I experienced a little more of the redness and what felt like rough patches. The skin was basically in a healing process so I made sure I kept my face clean, used the healing ointment provided and just let time and that RF work it's magic. 

Within a week my skin felt tighter, a lot smoother and my cyst scarring was faint. I am about 1 month out from the procedure and I can't wait to go back for my next appointment. I will be focusing on my neck area the next go around and this is something that I will be certain to continue to make time for. I would trade getting my highlights done just to get this treatment, that is how much I love my results and experience.

To close my review out, I just wanted to say THANK YOU to Dr. Forster. She followed up with me that evening on how I was feeling and even a few days later. She was funny, energetic, sweet, knowledgeable, caring and overall truly made my experience perfect. So excited for round 2!
