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

[katniss]

^yes PDS si Doc Leah. And to add to that, UPLB ang premed ni Doc Leah. namiss ko ng pumunta ng clinic nya. makapagpasked nga uli one of these days.

[crunchymyx22]

@Nicoletta: Dra. leah Martires is PDS, Magna cum laude,UST medicine. I believe the doctors have different approaches to treatments based on their studies, trainings and experience. I am already 3 years under her care and I am very happy with what she had done and the treatments she is doing to me. I noticed you're very curious about dra. Martires. Why is that?

wala bang promo si dra. leah, naintriga naman ako, laging maganda feedback sa kanya since 2010 pa dito eh...si dra. foronda pa lang natatry ko

[marcia]

Hi crunchymyxx 22: I haven't heard of any promo. But even without, very reasonable her prices

[vanity fair]

Dra. Leah doesn't need to have promos.  Very reasonable ang singil nya.  Minsan nga nakakahiya na kasi ang baba talaga ng singil nya.  & kapag madami ang pinagawa ko may mga services sya na di na ako pinapabayad.

[katniss]

^yup I got a free cleaning one time dahil kasama ko mom ko and sya yung me pinagawa.

guys ano bagong treatment at machine sa MMC?

CO2 laser na try nyo na sa MMC? how much?

[loloy102]

I inquired with my derma kasi about the procedure that was done on you. DP first then 1 round of tca peel.  Usually 1 at a time lang daw yun, hindi sabay na ginagawa.  Is dra. martires PDS?  She's quite aggressive with giving isotret for those who has pimples noh?  Others kasi want to try topical meds muna or kahit mga doxycycline na oral before offering isotret or accutrex.   Just wondering, since my former derma is quite well known, and my brother went to her. 

Due to the many side effects of isotretinoin, being teratogenic and all, my brother decided to take the long route to treating his acne.

when i asked for isotretinoin i research on that. i know what i was getting into, the side effects and the like more than the result.
your doc will asked you what have you already tried. some docs will just asked you to retake and reuse creams in increased concentration. temporarily fixing the problem by not totally curing you.
isotretinoin cured me. i spent almost 20k annually on treatments and high end creams/toners.etc but with isotretinoin i only spent 12k + 6k on blood test every quarter. that's it. it worked for me.

@loloy102: agree! I am really oily that's why dra. Leah said na if i want to maintain it to decrease the oiliness, i can wait until i am already in my menopausal age just to be safe ( wll result to congenital defects when you get pregnant during treatment). I can maintain daw to 1-2 capsules / week. And it's not teratogenic in males, obly in females.

OMG I'm so happy finally mag papaconsult na ako kay Doc 6 this Tuesday. (pero i havent made an appointment). Tuwing kailan ba siya pwede and what time? Gusto ko sana siya mag check sakin. And how much ang consultation for first time patients?

thanks!

That's true, sis, minsan talaga nakakahiya nang bumalik dahil ang baba mag-charge ni dra. Last consultation ko I paid only p200 para sa glycolic cream- cleaning and pf free, kaloka. Next time daw well do carbroxy (?) for my sneer folds. Free muna raw. Si dra talaga..

Has anyone tried carbroxy? May pain daw?

[luna laxa]

I also checked beforehand, PDS si Dra Leah. 

Mga sis, you should make sure that yours is also. Nakadikit yung logo sa doors nila so you should be able to easily find it. I used to go to this derma, highly recommended, for my impacted pimple on my back. She did me for a while tapos pinasa na Nya ko sa "nurse" nya. That left me with an unnecessarily big scar. 

[katniss]

^^hahaha. oo masakit sis. super. LOL

[loloy102]

Marcia ano bagong laser treatment ni doc leah?

na try mo na ang CO2 laser? how much?

[marcia]

Yes may bagong lasers in makati med where dra. Leah does her other lasers besides lightsheer. I'm not familiar lang kung ano.fractional CO2 not yet

[reiward]

Saan po clinic ni Dra. Leah? Also, by appointment ba sa kanya? If so, penge naman ng contact number nya.

[oshiawase]

Can anyone give reviews about the TCA (?) Peel with Doc Foronda? Talaga bang 1 week lang ang downtime nito?

Thanks!!

[loball]

Anyone tried UA peeling ni Dr. Mike Chua?

Kung kay Dr. Martires, kasi 2 shades darker ang UA ko than my skin tone, may idea kayo mga sis kung ilang sessions aabutin? Tinatamad ako dumayo Tiendesitas if multiple sessions eh. Pero pupuntahan ko naman sya talaga for my Brazilian LHR.

[vainbutpretty]

magkano po TCA ke doc6 foronda , gusto ko sya i try

[oshiawase]

@vainbutpretty, around 1,500 per session, 6 sessions max.

[vainbutpretty]
