Wonderful Experience & Effective Treatment!
I have had 3 ProFractional laser treatments at Dermatology Associates of Rochester with Dr. Weitz. He and the staff are very results-driven and determined to help me achieve my goals for my skin. So far my overall experience has been phenomenal and my results are amazing!
I have severe pitted acne scarring on my temples, and from my very first meeting with Dr. Weitz and his team I felt heard, comfortable, and optimistic about achieving improvement to the appearance of my scarring and overall skin tone & texture.
The office itself is beautiful, the staff are personable and respectful, and I love the vibe in their Center for Anti-Aging - it's very luxurious, but down-to-earth at the same time (the perfect mix for this millennial mom!) They have various things available for patient comfort - I choose facial numbing cream prior to laser. This adds some time to the length of my appointment (about an hour to numb before the laser treatment actually starts), but while my face numbs I get to enjoy a comfortable lounge with plush leather recliners, fluffy blankets, a big screen with Netflix, and free wifi - so I don't mind that little "me time" ONE BIT!
The ProFractional laser treatment itself is very tolerable, and very quick. I have my entire face lasered (and have even combined this treatment with BBL and Halo to knock everything out at once - the pain is still tolerable!) Dr. Weitz is efficient and thorough with his treatments, and throughout the treatment checks in often to make sure I'm tolerating any discomfort. To be clear - it certainly doesn't feel good. BUT the treatment time is short, and the discomfort is a very small price to pay for the abundant positive results I've seen from having the laser.
Following the treatment the after-care instructions are clear (and the before-treatment instructions too - the staff does a great & thorough job to make sure I'm aware of what I can and can't do before and after the treatment!). The recovery from ProFractional treatment is not too bad - the first 12-24 hours are the worst for me with some oozing skin, swelling, scabbing, tons of redness. No pain - just a scary-looking face for about 48 hours! By day 3 my face is just red and spotty as it heals, and by the fourth or fifth day the swelling is usually totally gone and my face gets really itchy as the old skin finishes sloughing off and the new skin surfaces. If I need to I use a special moisturizer make-up they have that's designed to mask post-treatment skin. By 7-10 days after the treatment I sometimes still have some redness, but it just looks like I'm sun kissed and I'm usually back to wearing regular tinted sunscreen and normal makeup.
I'm in the middle of my overall treatment plan, and looking forward to continuing on my laser journey! I would do this treatment again and again and again - I do not regret for one single second getting the ProFractional, or embarking on a big-picture treatment plan to achieve my skin goals.
