I now have to spend thousands of dollars to try and fix my face

ORIGINAL POST

Beware of This Doctor

RockymannyOctober 9, 2020
Don't trust this doctor. My skin and face were destroyed by his office. I was horribly burned and I now am suffering terrible consequences by seeing this doctor. He takes zero responsibility when something goes wrong. I now have burns, scares and my skin is so damaged. I now have to spend thousands of dollars to try to make it better but my face will never be the same. I wish I never met Dr. Rubach or anyone who works in his office

Did you have laser or Fractora? What procedure? know how you feel. My face was damaged 2 years ago by Fractora. Burns, scars, pitting. I couldn't do any treatments until my skin had healed. Be very gentle until you heal. My skin is better but it will also never be the same. There are some good treatments but you have to wait. faceobsessed

It has been almost 2 years and my skin is horrible. I was burned so badly it destroyed my collagen and HA. My skin was damaged beyond repair. I followed every after care instruction perfectly but I was burned so badly nothing about my recovery was normal. I'm now left w scares, burned skin, Huge open pores, the collagen nd HA were damaged so badly my skin now just hangs and sags. I look 25 years older over night. This has been so emotionally hard. The doctor takes zero responsibility which is disgusting. It's so morally wrong to damage someone and pretend it never happened. I don't understand how he can live w himself knowing he severely disfigured someone. I just want to get better but I believe my damage is too severe. I think I am going to file a complaint against their professional license. Even if I can help only one person. Hank you so much for reaching out to me. I hope recovery and healing for you

You need to file right away. Doctors are suppose to report to the FDA when a machine or procedure goes wrong. There is a web site. This is mandatory. You can also file with the FDA. Please don't delay. You only have so long before you can still file. We need to make public all of these disasters and warn the public. It will be three years for me in December. I was told not to try anything severe before two year of healing. Therre is still hope. I have had some imporvement. Keep the faith and file!

Thank you so much for the advice. I am going to. I didn't even think about filing with the FDA. I am sorry you too have experienced some of the same things I have. I'm not seeing any improvement in my skin. Can you please share with me what has helped you?

Just wash you face with Cetaphil gentle cleanser. You shoiuld be talking L-lysine, Vic C, zinc, and D. Put HA on at night. You might try putting MSM on your skin as well as taking it internally.. This is a slow process. I tried olive oil with little luck. There is something I just started using that has been able to put moisture back into my skin. I will have to get the name. I'm not home now. When your skin is healed a bit you can start to exfoliate it. You can also do derma roll HA and Vic C into your skin. Small needles, but only when the skin is healed. It will get better. Be patient and gentle.

I'm so happy for you that you're healing. I have tried many of the same as you. Very gentle, lots of supplements, I also bought a very good HA serum from Neo Cutis pure HA. I've tried many gentle moisturizer. My skin doesn't accept moisture. My skin is not he color it was my entire life. Since the laser burn it is red, brown and purple like burned and charred skin. I have tried so many high priced, gentle serums and creams. I wold greatly appreciate knowing the cream you use that helped bring hydration back to your skin When you really able please share that with me
