Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Day 5
After my 48hrs (Thursday at noon) I have been just fine ... The areas on my face that I was concerned with are themselves red however covered with make up no real issue..today ( Saturday) I notice dry skin patches in those areas and some small peeling ....there's no pain/discomfort at all ..my next scheduled appt is before Christmas, Dec 20 ..my nervousness with this procedure has greatly been reduced since my first PDT has been so "uneventful".. I am open for a second treatment if warranted .. will update again if any changes ..
Day 3
3rd Day: All the redness is gone from my face ..my 48 hrs are up ...I put on sunscreen and makeup and ran errands this afternoon ..having no pealing, scaling etc ... anxious to see what happens tomorrow ..don't understand why no further reaction after the redness the first 24-36 hrs ..if nothing happens over the weekend I plan to schedule an appt Monday to have the doctor review.. The areas I was originally concerned about (cheeks and nse area) are not clear..but no longer red ??? Will follow up..
Day 2
I slept well last night. Used two pillows to elevate my head (as suggested by another member of ths site) My cheeks and nose area are very red and warm to the touch ...this morning I washed my face with Purpose soap , then placed a wash cloth with the cool vinegar solution on my face and then the cool Aloe on my face ...later I used my own moisturizer.. my skin feels so smooth and tight however besides being very red I am not seeing any scaling or signs of peeling ..I plan to follow doctors instructions and stay inside away from sunlight the full 48 hrs ..Using a magnifying mirror I do see that under this redness there appears to be a few white spots..almost like small blisters deep under the skin on my cheek area , however nothing has surfaced as yet ...will update tomorrow . Again, thank you to those members who have posted...your many personal experiences helped me so much to move forward to do this treatment ..even tho I was so apprehensive, I knew I had to make this choice...I look forward to seeing the end results .
