I have been to a few plastic surgeons offices in Indianapolis over the last 10 years. I found the price for the Dot Laser to be much lower (it was offered on a Christmas special) and so I took my chances on a new experience with Dr. Chernoff's office. This office is a busy one, but a few of the staff members stand out as exceptional. The main person that comes to mind is Julie, Dr. Chernoff's nurse practitioner who is one of the most genuine person I have had the fortune to meet. She is outstanding in both what she does and is amazingly knowledgeable. I had a LOT of concerns about this procedure (after reading all of the horror stories on Real Self) during my consultation, but Julie patiently answered each concern until I felt comfortable with the procedure.

At a later time, I came back and had the Dot procedure performed by Dr. Chernoff who used a variety of settings between low and moderate between my face, neck, and chest. He was attentive to any pain I felt and adjusted the settings as needed. I was quite surprised at how little pain I felt after the procedure and how quickly I healed. I had the procedure performed on a Wed evening, and had taken Thursday, Friday off so that I would have a good 4 days off. My face did not peel at all - I believe it received the less intense treatment, but my neck & chest did peel some during the 3rd and 4th day. At 6 weeks, my chest looks 1000 times better - not as much sun damage spots and actually makes me happy to look at it. I did not think my face received much, so I chose to have an additional treatment several months later by Julie. Julie was FANTANSTIC - I did not feel a thing. On my second treatment (which was moderate), I did get more red and peel from days 3 to 6 but this was not bothersome or noticeable by anyone but myself. I am looking at myself this morning as I get dress and I cannot believe how much younger I look. I had sagging smile line and vertical lines around my lips and they are not nearly as noticeable. I would caution anyone thinking about any facial treatment to only seek treatment from reputable Plastic Surgeons offices and not cosmetic centers where technicians are performing the procedures.

So glad you are happy with your results! Do you have any before and after photos that you are wiling to share with us? Are you planning on having any additional treatments?

Thank you. I am going to see Dr. C for consultation regarding damage from an Ulthera sesson - (worst decision of my life- the ulthera). I am looking forward to meeting Dr. C. and Julie. Heard great things about both consistently.
