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

[labandera]

im also a long time patient of Dra sixta foronda, she's really a great dermatologist... a lot of celebrities and co-models will testify about it.

hi sis crunchymyx, actually tinry ko magpaschedule kay dra 6F last friday, kaso hindi sya available may emergency daw kasi..inoffer nila sakin yung assistant daw magchecheck sakin, kaso hesitant lang ako since first time ko. ask ko lang sis, ok rin ba yung mga assistant ni dra? or better kung dra 6f mismo talaga ang initial consultation? thanks

If I may, betterhaveyour first consult procedure/TCA with doc Six. It's worth the wait promise

meron akong mga zits sa cheeks, noo at sa chin pero konti lang naman.. problema ko is dry ng face ko at sobrang dami kong whiteheads. TCA ba ang ginagawa para dito? If yes, magkano ulet yung package kay Dr.6F? Ano-ano mga kasama nito?

[star_fish71]

hi sissies! how much is the whole body TCA peel of dra 6f? and how long is the downtime? i already tried dra leah's whole body TCA peel last nov and okay naman. just wanna try dra 6f naman so i can decide for myself kung kanino ako mas hiyang

we have the same problem! problem ko talaga is whiteheads. Yes, TCA talaga ang procedure for that unless you opt for the laser treatment or oral meds. If you decide to go to 6F, doc will explain to you the alternatives naman so don't worry.



1,500 [textspeak!] facial and TCA (correct me if i am wrong). Aabutin ka siguro ng around 2,200 if you buy the topical meds

[missreese]

^thank you sis... keri lang ba magpa TCA ng summer na? Pwede pa rin bang magswimming kahit undergo ka pa ng TCA .. di ba ilang sessions din to..

[oshiawase]

may downtime ang TCA. Usually daw 5-7 days pero ako, inabot ng mga 10 days. During this time, alam ko, you are not advised to stay long under the sun kasi super sensitive phase ito. So I suggest, schedule your summer activities.

Anyone nagpa-TCA peel ng armpits kay Doc Leah? I know it costs P500. Malaki ba improvement after just one session? I'm thinking of mag-DIY TCA peel na lang, $30 sa Amazon. But I was wondering if kakayanin na ng 1 peeling session ang armpits kong 1-2 shades darker than my skin.

hi mga sis, i'm planning on getting my fraxel treatment finally! kaso i'm canvasing pa where maganda price. i asked dra 6f kaso she's out of town till friday sabi nung nurse niya one session or two lang need ko. does she still give discount for girltalkers? pa share naman ng mga experience niyo with fraxel&dermas. bigla naman ako natakot at may anesthesia daw yun. desperate na ko to have it done bye bye scars na sana.

[femmeandglam]

Kapag ba pumunta ako kay Dra 6F pwede bang i-request na siya yung gumawa ng procedure? No offense naman sa nurses/assistants niya, pero syempre iba pa rin talaga pag derma gumagawa. I'll pay professional fee naman if ever meron. Meron nga ba? Currently kasi may derma ako. pero gusto ko lang i-compare bakam mas effective and affordable meds ni Dra 6f.

And how much kaya aabutin during my 1st visit kay Doc Foronda? Mild case lang pimples ko. Occasional breakouts due to monthly prd. thanks girls!

[choco_monster]

Almost a year na rin ako patient ni Dra. Jacinto, she gave me some topicals to treat my hormonal acne, apparently, di pa rin sila nawawala.  For example, this week clear ang face ko, then next week naman
may tutubo na naman na bago.  Same meds lang ginagamit naming magkakapatid pero sila sobrang okay ang result. They have occasional zits pero sakin as in weekly meron and so I decided to revisit her,
she told me na i have oily skin kase.  I was prescribed with Isotret but I've just found out here at GT, bawal ang laser treatments while taking it.  Now i'm planning to change derma and I'm torned
between Dra. Ivee, 6F and Leah.

[tifay]

mg sis does anyone know how much ang post meds kay dra. six for fraxel? naka sked ako on Wednesday kaso forgot to ask how much yung meds
sis @femmeandglam nung first visit ko kay dra.six may dala ako 3k hehe tama nga budget ko, kasama na gamot nung tca. i also don't have acne but more on left over scars na super i wanna get rid of na.

[mikage_matsunaga]

may kilala po ba kayo mga sis na derma specializing sa hair problems?

[Shadow Angel]

Im on my first consultation sa derma ko kasi i want to get rid those ugly dents on my face. pero sabi ng derma ko need pa muna i total clear ang face ko before ilaser ang face.. I have few acne actually minsan konti lang minsan naman wala minsan naman parang dumadami.. Pero sabi ni doc no worries daw dahil madali lang alisin ang sa akin dahil light lang sana nga true dahil kahit ganun bothered pa rin ako nakaka consious lalo na kung all your life now ka lang nag ka acne during my teens ang kinis ng face no pimples at all pero ngayon ewan ko ba bigla na lang silang nag sulputan grabe.. Hays sana mag ok na ito.

Has anyone here tried this? And did it work?

 Photo Rejuvenation Therapy Choose from Collagen Induction, Acne, Removal Dark Spots & Scars, Freckles Choose any Area at Derma Spa Skin Dermatology

Coz i inquired in Belo Clinic at Trinoma the treatment costs P8000

This was recommeded by by Derma Dra. Ana from Derma Spa Skin Dermatology in Fairview Quezon City and she said it's normally done around 6-10 sessions.

I saw this Treatment on sale at a group buying site Pinoy Vouchers for only P299 so sobra mura from the P8000 in Belo Clinics. I just want to know if this is effective. Here's the information on this treatment i found on their site. May Before and After picture din dun sa site.

My problem is pimples na on and off. Everytime malapit na yung period ang pangit na na skin ko

Here's the info on their promo re Photo Rejuvenation Therapy.

• Lighten your Bikini Lines, Dark Spots, Dark Underarms, Dark Scars now!!!!
• Pamper yourself like a Celebrity with this Luxurious Treatment, Enjoy a Photorejuvenation Therapy at a fraction of the cost. This is one of the favorite treatment of most Hollywood Celebrities before they attend the Oscars.
• LED visible light therapy is a non-invasive procedure that allows you to use non-thermal, low-level light energy to activate the natural processes of the skin. It converts the energy from the light into energy within your skin cells, which can then be used for healing, reducing inflammation, and minimizing scarring.
• Photo Rejuvenation Therapy can be used in different treatment problems Each different LED light emits a wavelength of a varying frequency. For example, if your goal is to reduce the level of acne on areas of your body, then a blue light with a wavelength between 414 – 660nm is required – as this is the frequency that most efficiently kills acne causing bacteria. On the other hand, if you prefer to increase your collagen production and repair damaged skin – a red wavelength with a different frequency is required. For uneven skin tone and dark spots removal a green wavelength is used.
• For Acne Treatments Once the LED light is absorbed via the skin, the body’s natural healing energies begin to decrease inflammation, increases healing, and for acne sufferers – drastically reducing the amount of the acne causing propionbacterium bacterium.
• The procedure also helps the skin absorb skin care products better.
• As the procedure is non-invasive, safe and gentle, it can be used by even the most sensitive skin.
• Photo Rejuvenation LED therapy is quickly becoming recognized as the safest & most effective acne treatment on the market. If you suffer from acne that just won’t go away – Photo rejuvenation LED light therapy is for you…

Will LED Therapy Work For Me?
LED light therapy has been used for decades by NASA for many different applications, and the reason for this is because it works, and works well. Only recently has LED light technology become available on a commercial basis

sis @femmeandglam i think it depends if dra.six is available kase after my fraxel she entertained naman other patients sha gumawa nung mga peel.
wala naman ata extra fee if sha gagawa maybe inform nalang at juvy (her secretary) na you want dra ang gumawa. busy kase yung nurses sa mga cebebrity clients nung andun ako kaya si dra na gumawa nung mga naka schedule na iba.

[menthol]

hi tifay, hows your experience with fraxel with Dra six? share mo naman : ) how much siya? am thinking of this as well kaso scared ako sa down time kase pumapasok sa office. Thanks!

[tifay]

hi sis menthol, ok naman my experience. it wasn't as painful as what i read sa mga blogs. parang gusto ko pa nga round two 30 minutes after nung procedure para sana sulit yung bayad pero di ata pwede yun. but yun lang if may work ka mag leave ka muna at super crusty nung face mo the next day, nung first 12 hours swollen sha na red parang kakalabas mo lang sa oven lol i'm on my second day na and sun burnt effect pa din sha na yun nga may pag ka crusty, rough,grainy feel sa skin which is ok naman for me kiber nasa house lang naman ako saka mas visible na yung laser marks na dots. it didnt swell much nga eh compared sa mga nakita ko online, feeling ko dapat ata mas aggressive yung ginawa namin pero sana maganda pa din results.
may napanood kase ako sa youtube na 8 passes nung fraxel ginawa sakanya parang di ko naman ma imagine yun, kaso yun nga ang ganda na nung face niya after. kaya di ko sure if dapat ba tiisin yung pain para mas maganda result? kase sa totoo lang for me ha it was not that painful mga split second(or less) lang naman dadaan yung laser eh dra.6 gave discount for gt  hehe naka  4 passes ako sa cheeks since dun yung large pores&scar.
