Intracel for Festoons Saved my Life!

I found W Cosmetic Surgery while looking online find a solution to fix some undereye festoons that seemed to suddenly develop into the biggest eye bags ever. I had been getting filler in my midface and undereye region at a reputable cosmetic surgeon in New York on and off for several years, and then one day I woke up with giant festoons. I tried ice, sleeping with my head elevated, dietary changes, and creams to no avail. I was wearing sunglasses and hats whenever possible to try to disguise the festoons, and was in a constant state of embarrassment about how terrible I looked. I went back to my surgeon in NYC who told me that I looked better with the filler than I had before, and I had to beg him to dissolve some of it at that point. Still, the festoons remained.
I had consulted with several highly reputable oculoplastic surgeons in NYC who actually wanted to do MORE FILLER to try to disguise the festoons. I then found Dr. Wulc while searching for solutions online, and I figured I'd drive down and see what he had to say. I was prepared to have surgery if necessary to fix the problem.
I've actually never met Dr. Wulc yet due to my scheduling problems driving down from NYC. I had my initial consultation with RN Debbie who is involved in all the consultations that Dr. Wulc does. She agreed that that I had way too much filler in my face already, and she urged me to not get more at that point. She explained that filler can actually cause festoons.
She suggested trying intracel to help dissolve the filler and take care of the festoons. I figured it was worth a shot!
I got my first intracel treatment in December, and I will be driving down from NYC to get my 4th treatment in Mid April. I have seen a 90% improvement in the festoons so far, and I think after the next (and last) treatment I will be festoon free!
Gina does the treatments, and she is fabulous! She explained everything the first treatment, and totally put me at ease. I've had plenty of peels, laser genesis, and IPL, but I was nervous! She is incredibly positive and funny. Both she and Debbie have never tried to sell me on anything extra, and it is clear that at W Cosmetic Surgery they are not just out to get people to buy extra services.
I use a super strong numbing cream provided to me by Gina, and so the treatments are not painful. I'm bruised a little for a few days, but I go back to work with a little extra concealer after after a long weekend and nobody is the wiser. It takes about 2 weeks for all the swelling to totally subside, but again, it isn't noticeable to anyone but me.
Prior to the intracel treatments, I also did have a few acne scars which totally disappeared. I have good skin overall, but have the normal fine lines of middle age developing. These all look better after intracel as well, and I expect that they will continue to look even better over the course of the next few months as the benefits of intracel take a few months to really set in. As it is, my skin looks and feels amazing. I am ecstatic about the results! I highly recommend W Cosmetic Surgery and intracel treatments.
