WORTH IT
I have had a consultation with Dr. Rapaport and he recommended that I get a combination treatment consisting of Nokor+Cannula subcision followed by Infini RF followed by Fractionated CO2 laser and PRP. Dr. Rapaport said that with my scarring (Pretty severe and across 75% of my face)(mostly rolling and boxcar), I would probably need two treatments spaced about 6 months apart.(to allow us to see full results of the first treatment before determining if a second one is needed.)
The procedure wasn't bad at all. They give you laughing gas to relax you during numbing injections and during CO2 laser, but I opted not to use the gas as it wasn't really that bad.
I had the procedure done 5 weeks ago and I keep seeing results day by day. As of 5 weeks out I would estimate my overall improvement to be somewhere around 60% on my left cheek, 70% on my forehead, 40% on my right cheek and 40% on temples.
This is crazy to think about as during my consultation with Dr. Rapaport, I have told him that I would be happy with 30% improvement after the procedure. I remember he said, " If you will be happy with 30%, then you will be really happy!", and at first I didn't really think more than 30% in one treatment was possible.
The reason I have chosen Dr. Rapaport is because I felt that he has tremendous knowledge in acne scar revision. You can tell even if you know nothing about acne scar revision or have never done your research. The amount of confidence he has in what he does only comes with years and years of experience.
His staff is very good! Nidia was very nice and genuinely caring and his assistant Debbie was very nice and knowledgeable working alongside Dr. Rapaport.
Dr. Rapaport himself is an amazing doctor who I felt truly cares about the well being of his patients and does everything he can to get the best results for his patients without recommending costly and useless treatments that might produce mediocre results.
The wait in the office was fairly long every time, but it did not matter to me, as I knew that I was going to one of the best doctors for acne scar revision.
