WORTH IT

When my 70 year old dad noticed that I had freckles, you know it's bad. LOL! After my two pregnancies, I had experienced more freckles and noticed that older freckles were even darker. I don't do a lot of sun so I was ultra surprised. Because I have Asian skin, I'm very careful about the products I use and who I see for my skin. After a really extensive consultation with Dr. Bitter of Los Gatos, I'm so excited to have my FIRST BBL treatment. I think it's working already and I can't wait to see the results!

Lol, i am in the same boat. My mom also pointed out that I have freckles all over my face and it only took her 24 years to notice that I have freckles all over my cheeks. Go figure asian parents... lol. Can you tell me more about procedure and pain level. Lol

I think most all patients are a little nervous about the pain, but it is almost always unnecessary worry. Everyone is different but at worst it can feel like mild "rubberband pops". A numbing cream can be used if you are feeling it. Just take care when filling out skin type forms. The darker the skin the more careful we put the settings.

Dark spots gone by Day 7

CaturdayMay 18, 2017

They've definitely fallen off! They looked like diffused brown spots. I have noticed brighter skin - the redness that I usually notice in my skin is gone. I have noticed the pigmented spots that really bothered me before are milder, less noticeable to me. I could easily cover up with foundation if it really bothered me.

Sure does look great. How much was your procedure, did it itch and burn???

Never itched... my procedure was $600 USD because I didn't buy a package. It did feel like a bad sunburn (face felt warm and tingly) for about an hour afterwards. By the time I got back to the office, I felt totally fine.

I just had my second treatment and this time, I bought a package of 5 for $550 each. Same thing...

How terrible did your skin look during the period while everything was flaking/falling off? I saw some progress photos during my consultation and they have almost scared me out of doing this.

It looked like I had darker freckles for a day or two, but nothing that a little photo filter or tinted sunscreen can't fix!
