Dermatologist Guide Thread 12 - Dermas pretending to be patients, pls STAY AWAY

[ktsrt]

mga sis na patient ni dra. 6f, how much did u prepare on your first derma visit?

hi sis. initial treatment will be at around 1500, depending on what dra. recommends. during my first visit, i had cleaning, glycolic and tca. better to set an appointment with her so she can also see your skin and recommend medicines to use.

[ktsrt]

Any good or better dermas in the south near BF paranaque sana? yung affordable din sana...

hi. you might want to consider belo alabang. initial consultation fee is around 400. follow-up consultations are waived. cleaning is at 1200. meds are reasonably priced. soaps at 200+, toners at 400+, etc.

i actually went back to belo after having treatments at 6f. wala kasing available slot at 6f and i needed a facial badly so i went back to belo alabang. i think they retrained their staff because the facial was just divine. i had a lot of whiteheads, etc but after the facial, my face wasn't as red vs. other dermas. sulit talaga. switched to their medicines too. i think we really have to tell our dermas if we find their medicine too strong so they can adjust their prescription.

I love Dra. Leah!  Her rates are very reasonable, considering PDS Dermatoligist sya... I just had whole body peeling.  She did diamond peel before applying TCA.  She just charged 5k.

I had my first facial (glycolic + pricking + TCA peel yata) with Dr. Leah Martires last Monday.  Nung pumunta ako dun, ang dami kong pimples. As in yung isa, parang 3 pimples na nagdikit-dikit. Nag-inject pa si Dra. sa ibang pimples.  Then bumili ako ng glycolic soap and acne plus solution. Naka-P850 ako more or less, treatment + meds na yun. Wednesday pa lang ngayon pero I can see improvements na agad.  Natuyo na yung pimples and may micro peeling na. Sobrang bait pa ni Dra. Leah.

Okay lang kaya kung babalik ulit ako kay Doc Leah after months na bigla akong nawala sakanya? Hehe. Para kasing nakakahiya na eh..

Suggest naman kayo sis ng derma accessible sa Cainta area. 

[zee87]

ok lang yan sis.. ako nga twice a year lang yata ako nakakabalik sa kanya. at lagi nya ko napapagalitan. hahaha! pero she's still the same chikka.

sis can you post some pics of your fraxel treatment from dra.6f? Im planning to have fraxel din kaso di ko alam kung worth it ang treatment na to for acne scars.. TIA

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.

hi sis ako ganun din after 2 weeks pinabalik. After the facial medyo may mga white heads, small pimples din na tumubo pero what i do binababad ko lang ng glyco soap while washing the face leave it for 30 seconds tas apply na ng tret sa gabi or sunblock gel sa umaga. ano ba pinrescribe sau sis ni dra?

[cassidy02]

hi sis! doc leah prescribed erythro, tret gel (applied only at night) and glycolic soap. hindi ba mahapdi for you pag nababad yung glycolic soap? pansin ko kasi [textspeak!] breakout ko nabawasan in terms of pimple size kasi lumiit [textspeak!] mga new pimples wala na masyadong big cystic pimples. pero nagkaroon naman ako ng small pimples parang whiteheads sa cheeks, chin and forehead. ganun ka rin ba? bumalik ka after 2 weeks and naging ok naman ba?

yes sis ganun din. pero konti lang yung mga whiteheads ko. hindi naman mahapdi sis kapag binabad sa glyco soap. after two weeks nagpacleaning ulit ako kay dra. tska checheck niya kung may progress yung mga meds na binigay niya and how it reacts into your skin don't worry sis it'll get better, 

[cassidy02]

thanks for your response sis. i hope so too...

Currently a patient of Dr. Mike Chua [textspeak!] sa imperial derma, ortigas. if ever na d ako ma-satisfy, lipat ako kay dra 6f. mga 4k+ kasi nagastos ko kay dr mike chua nung first visit kasama na don meds, antibiotic, consultation fee, spanish peel (rinemove na nya [textspeak!] professional fee)

[aspau]

[cassidy02]
