Dermatologist Guide Thread 13- Dermas pretending to be patients, stay away!

[honeybunny]

so,, ok na skin ko.. when i went to my derma, she said alisin daw namin yung vein sa cheeks ko, meron kasi akong veins sa cheeks but i am no bothered with it.. sabi ko na lang ayoko and ang gusto ko is magkaron ng glow sa face.. biglang sabi nya, kelangan daw alisin yung vein para magka glow.. biglang yun na ang ginawa nyang reason para lang sumunod ako sa gusto nya.. pang asar lang.. dahil jan maghahanap na lang ako ng ibang derma ulit..

[staraerish]

Pasuggest naman po ng magaling na derma and affordable near quezon city or greenhills. I know dr mike already but I wanna try someone else

[gab54]

Hi mga sis, may kilala ba kayong magaling na derma. Im not looking for beauty clinic. I have skin allergies this past year. Sobrang naging dry ang skin ko, tapos mahapdi na makati. I consulted na a derma in Metropolitan Hospital (Dra Judy Cuaso) pero no improvement...

Finally tried Doc Mike Chua after going to Belo for a year. Parang okay kasi no new pimples since I went last Sat. Medyo pricey kasi naka 5k plus ako, that's including treatment and meds. Nagtry na din ako IPL for acne and feeling ko effective nga siya. It's pricey though, 15k for 6 sessions, pero if it's gonna work, why not keeping my fingers crossed.

Hi arowen, ganyan talaga sa una, almost 5 thousand magagastos. Pero sa mga susunod mababawasan naman yan. I'm a patient of doc mike too. Kamusta naman experience mo with him? Yung IPL ba pangtreat din ng pimples? i thought kasi for scars lang sya? Hehe.

[arowen]

^everythin seems okay naman. Ni recommend ni doc mike na ipl kasi for acne din daw yun since I went there last sat, wala pa ako ni Isang maliit na pimple. So happy! Unusual kasi sakin yun. Lagi ako may pimple na paisa-isa. I don't know lang if it's the effect of the IPL or because naka antibiotics pa ko ngayon

[vanity fair]

^ Magkano IPL kay Doc Mike?  Thanks!

[Ana_13]

Wow. Good for you sis arowen :-) Ano ano ang topicals na binigay nya sayo? Hindi ka nya pinag-isotretinoin? mild lang ba case ng face mo? Thanks! :-)

[arowen]

It's 4k per session pero they have a package na 15k for 6 sessions. Flexible naman payment dun sa package. Pwedeng 3 gives hehe

[hunny]

my acne was controlled by dr eileen abesamis-cubillan

[arowen]

^^ konti lang naman pero severe daw. He explained kasi na kahit konti lang pero kung cystic naman, it can be considered severe na daw. He asked me about isotret pero since magt-try kami to conceive a baby next year, hindi namin option yun. pero I've tried isotret before, nung dalaga pa ko and sa ibang derma. Effective naman siya kaya lang bumalik din Yung acne and oiliness after a year

[Ana_13]

Ah may plan ka pala mag-baby. Wag na nga isotretinoin baka maapektuhan pa baby mo. Effective naman sayo yung IPL diba. Push mo na yan :-) Goodluck sis! Anyways ano ano yung maintenance na binigay sayo ni doc mike? Thanks sis!

[arowen]

He gave me the facial scrub (I love this), clinal toner and acne gel for am, and ery toner and acne lotion for pm

[ms.vanity]

Sa mga nagpupunta po kay Dra. Lozano ng skinwellness sa cubao, san po ba sya malapit? If ever na nasa gateway ako pano po ang way papunta dun? Thank you!!

[kimmybear]

Hi sisses! Has anyone tried consulting with Doc Mike Chua about acne caused by hormonal imbalance? How was it? [textspeak!] previous derma ko kasi ay parang standard lang ang procedure for all the patients so I am looking for a new derma. TIA!

[arowen]

^i'm actually planning to ask him that on my next visit. Will update you pero mid November pa
