Badly Sun Danaged Skin? Consult Dr. Jordan Rihani About a Fractionated CO2 and Erbium Treatment! - Gulf Shores, AL

For many years, I badly abused my skin by spending time in the sun (unprotected most of the time in the early years) and in tanning beds. When my late husband was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, I finally became "smart" and stopped all tanning even though I know the damage had been done. For many years, I had wanted to have the sun damage on my face removed but was afraid of the pain and what I would have to do after the procedure had been done. The downtime frightened me. I had talked to several dermatologists about this but none of them made me feel confident about it except Dr. Jordan Rihani, who, of course, is a plastic surgeon. He didn't even have to talk me into it. I offhandedly asked him what procedure he would recommend for me when I was in his office having my Botox injections one day, and he merely explained what he felt would be the best option for my skin problems. I booked the appointment for the following week with no hesitation. Dr. Rihani explains everything in such great detail, yet in laymen's terms, that there is no way a patient can possibly misunderstand. And, at no point was I nervous, much less afraid. The procedure is a bit lengthy (mine took about an hour and a half but each patent is different; I was very badly sun damaged). Dr. Rihani numbs the entire face before doing anything so there isn't much felt at all during the procedure. He explains what he is doing every step of the way, while asking if everything is going okay on your end. You leave the clinic after the procedure is finished. Dr. Rihani follows up daily and I had follow up appointments almost every two to three days. I also sent him selfies every morning so that he could see my progress. I will admit that the pictures were not pretty! Some were downright scary. However, the progression is very fast. I am very, very fair skinned so I think my downtime was a little longer than most. I didn't feel comfortable being out and about for about two weeks. I think most people are good to go within a week or so. But the results far outweigh any minor inconveniences. My skin is so clear now that I can actually go out in public with only sunscreen on, but feel better wearing mineral makeup as well. It's such a blessing to no longer be applying concealers and liquid or cream foundation, without hiding the sun damage after applying everything. Those days are over! Anyone who is even remotely considering this procedure should not delay. You will not be sorry. And Dr. Jordan Rihani is THE best. He's very thorough and has done this procedure many times. He will gladly answer any and all of your questions.
