Laser Destroyed my Life

I think I’m about 5 1/2 years out from the damage.
It has been so difficult, traveling to see Doctors in other states, recovering from treatments, so much money money spent to try and feel ok about my face.
I’ve learned some things along the way. Skin never totally goes back to what it was before damage, hypopigmentation is almost impossible to correct, scars never totally go away. Damaged skin ages faster so it’s a constant maintenance program, cool sculpting is NOT for loose skin but only for very stubborn fat, Fraxel Repair is outdated and has a history of problems. Research everyone and never trust blindly.
With all that being said I’ve been lucky to find outstanding Doctors and practitioners.who were able to recognize the damage and know what caused it and know what to use to try and improve my face.
I’m going to share exceptional Drs and practitioners that I’ve used with you. You may have to travel and none of it is cheap but you only have one face and once the damage is done it is extremely difficult to improve.

I’m sure there are others but these I can recommend. Take the time and look through there before and afters.
To all my damaged warriors, I know how hard it is and PTSD and body dysmorphia are real after damage. We may never be who we used to be but that’s ok, be better. Look within and find all the good inside you. Be strong

I’ve had improvement but I will always have damage. I recently went to see a Dr specializing in aesthetics. Without telling him he spotted the damage and knew how it was caused. He said two things;
1. Grid was incorrect and
2. Areas of the face were overheated, meaning not enough time time was allowed before passing over the area again.
He also pointed out the damage cool sculpting did and said it should only be used for stubborn fat not loose akin ie. Around jaw.
So there you have it, user error pointed out by 4 doctors.
How dare a Dr use equipment on someone’s face when he really doesn’t understand or know how to properly use the equipment then have no idea how to fix it and then blame it on someone’s healing ability. Shame on you Dr. Rubenstein!!!!

I was able to post link. Send her a message, she gets back quickly. My review is too short so ...The products are not cheap and it’s not one or two products but a whole morning and evening routine. I started on Sept. 20 and seriously I see changes already. I went for dermaplaning the other day and the aesthetician said, “ Wow your skin is so healthy”. Just wanted to share with my fellow warriors.
