WORTH IT
Dr. Shanthala is an unbelievably qualified professional; she gives talks globally about the 3D Ultraclear Laser Treatment and its options and applications, among many other topics, and is a pioneer in her field.
Her office is both cozy and clinical - you feel welcome and reassured that you are in a true medical provider’s care. The treatment starts with numbing cream (although for my “lunchtime facial” option, this was probably not even necessary - but I appreciated it nonetheless!) and then she explains what to expect during and after the procedure.
The laser treatment is fast and painless. The machine can be loud because the fan keeps this laser truly “cool” and there’s no/very minimal sensation or burning. It’s comfortable enough to talk throughout the process. It takes about 15-20 minutes to do the actual laser, then you wash off the numbing cream with a gentle soap.
Right after the treatment, you’ll be red — I’d equate it to a sunburn or how I look after a 5k run, but nothing alarming. It’s critical to stay completely out of the sun during healing, especially your first 72ish hours (but Dr. Shanthala will talk you through the aftercare in full). Tip: being a sunhat with you so you aren’t even exposed between the office and your car!
The first 24 hours I felt some tenderness, but again, similar to a sunburn. I went about my regular activities that evening, went out to dinner, and ran errands the next day (with a hat!). By day 3, the redness comes down significantly.
From days 4-8 my skin was dry and flaky, but never peeled the way you see a chemical peel or deep laser facial do. I used a clinical cream and aquaphor to keep my skin hydrated throughout the first 10ish days, applying as needed.
Since the procedure about a month ago, my skin feels smoother, looks more balanced, and a woman at the store this week told me I looked like I was in my mid-20s with no makeup on (I’m 37!). It’s a procedure I would certainly get again, as the effects are both short term and long term.
And I would only trust Dr. Shanthala to do it — although minimally invasive and completely painless, it’s still laser and I want to know I’m in the capable hands of an MD. Thank you, Dr. Shanthala, for helping me slow down the hands of time!
