Getting IPL to help incision scarring

lbynum87
WORTH IT
So the incision sights are pretty lumpy feeling to the touch and are red and raised plus I scar dark brown unfortunately. So I am getting IPL treatment next month for that. Something to keep in mind depending on how you scar and your skin tone. It kind of looks like acne or pimples which is unattractive, but still better than cellulite in my opinion. I also started using bio oil which should help.

in addition to cellfina, I had my first thermi tight treatment today which felt very relaxing like a heated massage. The only down side is it can take up to 6 months to see results, but that's fine by me. I am already happy with the cellfina results. I am gonna have the best bum I have ever had soon enough! Yay!

Still bruised and still is sore. The pain is pretty deep and almost feels like my sit bones are bruised. Anyhow it's worth every bit of pain because I feel like I'm looking good. On February 22nd I'm getting thermi tight ion the upper thigh lower butt area to lift the skin and sub due any other rippling that cellfina wasn't able to treat. I called my provider today to get before pics, but they still haven't sent them, they keep saying it could violate hippa. I don't see why though considering its my body. Hopefully I will get them soon.

Hi, it looks great but need to see the befores to compare. Do you have any close ups of the incision sites and how many did you have done? Thanks.
February 7, 2016
I had 24 spots treated. You can see the incisions because of the bruises, but they are slightly larger than a needle like. Almost like a healing mosquito bite. I have been using bio oil so I don't scar because I scar easily,

Your body, your medical records...providing them per your request DOES NOT violate HIPAA! They can charge you a "per copy" fee, but do not have the right to refuse to give them to you.

Apparently I need to go in and sign some form to release my photos because I'm asking them to send them through email. It's annoying!
April 22, 2016
They should be able to email you the forms.
February 18, 2016

You look great!  I believe you need to sign a release form in-person to be within HIPPA- they can't verify a call/email is really from you.  Sort of a pain but protecting your privacy.

Looks good! How did you like Thermitight on your thighs?
February 23, 2016
It was relaxing and felt like a heated massage! It is 4 treatments that will be done in total. Only down side is it takes around 6 months to see results from thermi tight.
April 22, 2016
Have you seen any results yet from Thermitight? How far apart are your treatments? It is the only thing I have come across regarding treating cellulite in front of thighs and there is not much info on it.
