May fraxel din si Dra. Martires? How much?

[cutiecam]

may kilala kayong derma near q.ave or sa manila area,before ako magpunta ke doc6..halos lahat ng in demand is nasa makati area.

[alexandrea]

Sa list ng dermas dito (sa first post, front page), sino sa kanila ang magaling with pock marks and pitted scars? Hindi na ako tinutubuan ng pimples. Scars na lang papa-treat ko.

re: acne scars, i have improved from two sessions of fraxel with doc Six Foronda. May room for improvement pa but im just so happy na noticeable yung difference sa cheek scars ko na yung ice pick and some minor boxcar scars.

Sabi ni doc, 3-5 sessions daw tong mga scars ko before seeing significant resurfacing of the skin. However, mukhang cooperative ang collagen ko sa mukha at nakuha ng 2 sessions para mas smooth-looking yung skin ko.

^ Hi sis! Super painful ba yung procedure? How much does it cost? Gaano katagal ang downtime? I'm leaning towards Doc 6F, parang mas maraming magandang reviews sa kanya. Thanks!

[herroyalbleakness]

yes, super painful sya especially if you'll be recommended 500nm passes. Yan ang sinuggest sakin ni doc pero alam nya na mababa tolerance ko to pain (the reason why we stopped CI on my scars).

Nung unang session ko, 300nm lang kaya ko kaso ang insignificant ng outcome so i readied myself for the 400nm pain albeit the anesthesia. Nasaktan ako talaga, dko ma imagine pag 500nm. May pinpoint bleeding na daw pag ganyan kastrong pero bawi ka naman sa results.

PRICE. I had my 2 sessions last March nung naka promo yung fraxel nya, i got the treatment for 7.5k/session. Ngayon ata 10k na sya kaya ipon mode ulit ako.

DOWNTIME. Day 6 ko, I wasn't too conscious about people looking at me. Day 7/8 completely tanggal na yung scabs. Doc says 2 weeks max ang downtime nya. Sakin, we're looking at less than a week.

[alexandrea]

OMG painful pala? Hala I have super low tolerance for pain. May iba pa bang methods?

[herroyalbleakness]

well you can opt to have 300-400nm lang instead of 500. Mas gradual nga lang pag babaw ng scars. Means more money spent on the procedure.

Palagay ka na lang ng emla before fraxel.

Meron bang good derma sa Eastwood? There's MD Eastwood and Borough pero wala akong makitang reviews sa treatments nila. I don't want to go to commercial skin centers eh. I used to go to Dr. 6F and she did really well pero super layo e. Does anyone know of a good derma for acne treatments? I'm trying Proactive at the moment. Natutuyo naman yung pimples but new ones keep on coming out. Di naman ako pwedeng mag-Acnetres because I'm getting married soon and we want to have kids soon. Help, please!

[mocha1209]

[carmel]

What's the 4 + 2?

[mocha1209]

Hi sis if you avail 4 sessions you,ll get 2 sessions for free.

[mocha1209]

sa mga sis na patients ni dra leah na nagpa treat ng acne scars ilang percent na yung improvements? gusto ko kasi sana significant and optimum din yung results. nagpa schedule ako by next week para sa check up and papagawa na din siguro ko, first time ko sa kanya and sana maging ok naman.

i just replied to your pm sis, sorry at ngayon lang ako naka GT.

Anyway, for me, di ko kaya humarap sa public post-fraxel and up to 5 more days after the treatment. Compared to TCA na pwede pa ko humarap sa tao confidently oup to 2 days post-TCA, mas malala ata ang downtime ko sa fraxel. Pero bawing bawi naman sa results in terms of improving my acne scarring.
