Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

It's been a while
Due to life getting in the way I haven't been able to get on here, and I haven't been able to get any more vbeams yet. My final word on the first one: it did help. About day 13 it started to go back to normal, but it didn't completely. The change was ever so slight, but it made a difference. And hey, any improvement is AMAZING (right!?) so I'm running with it. I'll update after each round.
Oh, and for all of the people who have asked, I finally got in touch with office who did my yag, and it was erbium.

Had my first round of vbeam
Since my last update I've had fillers and vbeam. First, the fillers are amazing, and helped smooth out my skin a lot. Second, the vbeam smoothed out my texture even more. My derm was only able to do my cheeks before I almost had (did have?) a full blown panic attack. It surprisingly didn't hurt at all. I was only pink for a couple of days, and had swelling until the day after. Nothing like my yag experience. My skin handled it very well.
I'm not sure if the skin improvement is from micro swelling, bc I'm only 1 week out from the vbeam, but I'll re-update in a week to let everyone know. I'm excited!!

Starting to really wonder
If my body just heals insufficiently. Or maybe it was something I did while I had contact dermatitis. I mean, my face was burning and itching so bad, I almost went insane. Maybe I was too rough with my face while it was all inflamed.
Even amazing doctors can have patients who scar. Is it really always their fault? Or can it equally be the patients body and how they handle aftercare?
In my case, I'm thinking it wasn't just the technician at fault.
This time around I'm going to be meticulous about after care. And if my face blows up again, I know now that it IS a big deal, and to get to my doctor ASAP.
Hoping for a different experience this time around.
