So Very Happy with This.

I didn't choose Pacific Derm - my surgeon husband chose for me when I told him what I was wanting to do. This place is fabulous.

I met with Dr.Marcie Ulmer - and my first thought when I met her was "oh wow, she must have just finished her residency" because she doesn't look a day over 30 AND ***she doesn't look "done"***. She told me how old she is - I won't reveal here.... you can find out yourself and pick your own jaw up off the floor.

When a dermatologist or plastic surgeon sits in front of me and tells me about all the magic they can do through over filled lips and a frozen face..... that doesn't impress me. That's not the look that I want and it doesn't demonstrate skill and artistry. I want to look secretly fabulous - like maybe I made a deal with the devil to not age. I actually want my face and skin to be like Dr.Ulmer's - so in my consultation I actually told her that I want to do whatever she does. We reviewed my skin care regimen and tweaked it a little bit. I didn't feel like there was this massive product push on me. I don't like it when places try to sell me $110 pads in 2% salicylic acid. Pacific Derm does not do that at all. The regimen I'm on is a blend of medical grade skin care and drug store stuff.

I ended up going with the Cutera laser(vascular laser) which is so magically effective. I have very very very fair skin and get little broken blood vessels and the Cutera zaps them away. I also had a treatment of Thermage. I am 10 weeks post treatment now, and I am seeing results.... I have been told to expect to see results keep developing for 6 months.

Super happy - I've found my forever dermatologist.
