Dr. Emer Gave Me my Life and Skin Back

WORTH IT

I had Fraxel Repair done here in New York in January of 2017 and unfortunately was left with bad results. I had orange peel texture all over my face, more lines than I started with and pigmentation issues. The left side of my face had what looked like a tic tac toe board. I spent almost a year in virtual hiding, had anxiety issues and depression. I started reading here on RealSelf and read nothing but great things about Dr. Emer. I contacted the office, sent photos and had my phone consultation with Dr. Emer. I had hope! I made all my plans to fly out to Hollywood to see him. I had to do the Cosmelan mask with the help of Candace by phone. I drove them crazy and they were nothing but kind and reassuring. I had reservations about going because Dr. Emer is in Hollywood after all and I am simply a retired school teacher from a small town in the Hudson Valley. My reservations were totally unfounded. I arrived in CA. just about 7 weeks ago and felt like I had come home. Everyone is so warm and kind. Actually Dr. Emer gave me a hug, chatted with me and we were good to start. While there over a course of two days I had: sculpture, thermage, fractora, micro needling with PRP , and erbium laser.

My results; the orange peel look is gone, the tic tac toe board on my left cheek is gone, hyper pigmentation is improved and overall clarity of my skin is improved. He let me know that everything couldn't be accomplished in one visit. I am following up at home with the plan he laid out for me and the wonderful skin care routine Candace put together for me. Everything is looking up, I am no longer a hermit and feel much better about my skin, thanks to Dr. Emer and his wonderful staff. My only regret is that I don't live there because they would get sick of seeing me.

I worked with Dr. Emer, Justin, Jeremy, Candace and now Jonathan. I love every one of them!!!!

I highly recommend Dr. Emer and his super fabulous competent staff.

Thank You Dr. Emer, you gave me my life back!!!!!

Hi everyone. It’s been awhile, I wanted to update. I am about 9 weeks out from fully ablative Co2. I have seen a lot of improvement but unfortunately there is still work to be done. I have learned that energy devices are fabulous IN THE RIGHT HANDS!!! They are horrendous in the wrong hands. Your face can be destroyed as mine was but there is hope for improvement. I have had countless treatments by wonderful providers, not for anti aging but to try to correct the horrific damage Dr Rubinstein caused. Some things can’t be fixed like all the hypopigmentation he caused. I have seen improvement in the orange peel skin he caused and the terrible wrinkling around mouth and chin he caused. I will continue to work on these areas but I’m not sure they can ever be 100% corrected.When a doctor causes damage to your face and blames it on your healing ability or tells you the laser can’t cause that damage, don’t believe him he is simply covering his a**. I know this because everyone I have seen has verified it was laser damage and I have exceptional healing ability. If you have been damaged do not give up hope! See someone who really knows what they are doing. I can highly recommend Marissa from Advanced skin Medispa Newburgh Ny, Dr Jason Emer, Hollywood, California and Dr William Groff, San Diego California. I have spent a fortune trying to correct this damage so I could have my life back. Something needs to be done, these Drs using these energy devices that don’t have a clue what they’re doing need to be held accountable and there needs to be stricter laws concerning training. Don’t give up hope but choose your Dr wisely.

Thank you for sharing. I agree with you 100% these devices are destroying people lives I am one of those victims ablative laser turned my life upside down it has been a year an a half I cry every night regretting giving my face as a ginipig to those at Forever Young Med Spa in Florida. It costs me so far over $20k and my skin is never as close as what I had. Please, please let's do something to stop those people from destroying us for the money. Where is the FDA in here?? Where is the law??

I’m sorry this happened to you too. I will be 3 years in as of January. Although I have received improvement through various treatments, many treatments, many Drs and Aestheticians I, at this point know it will never be fully repaired. He damaged the lower part of my face so much it has scarring, hypopigmentation and loss of elasticity. I will go on Jan 6 to have a facelift with Dr Ben Talei. We, as consumers must be educated and do our homework on providers and pick very very carefully. I wish you the best, if I can be of assistance please message me.
