Laser Resurfacing Part 3

[Juricks]

^interesting. I thought erbium lang ang pixel.

[grace.kelly]

Please more reviews for intracel, first time ko nabasa 'to. Ayoko kasi talaga ng frac kasi two weeks ang downtime. I hope may iba pang procedure for scars na sandali lang ang downtime. Saan po ang location ng acnecure?

[Chubby_cheeks]

I saw from a friend who had pixel co2 and I think it was very effective because I really saw the difference from his old self.  I can see that his skin is softer and tighter I think.  I'm not sure how to describe it the right way but I really saw the difference kasi mas konti na yung pores niya and nag lessen yung crater skin niya   Just sharing what I saw

hi sis nicoletta, yes that's the idea of fco2. my derma in acnecure din naman said that fco2 is really the gold standard for deep acne scars but intracel is somewhat at par din with it if combined din with chemical peels. I was doing fco2 with my derma in st lukes but since ang tagal ng downtime, hindi rin ako regular makapunta (mga interval ng 4-6months) and it's recommended na monthly gawin ang fco2. I still have one more FCO2 session with my derma in st lukes baka gawin ko pag matagal yung vacation. Although nagimprove yung scars ko with fco2, I really can't do procedures with long downtime at the moment coz of work. So far naman with intracel, my skin is responding well I'm on my second session and doing peels din. I like it coz it's something that I can do regularly talaga kasi very minimal downtime. So far so good. I'll probably do fco2 again if I have the luxury of time.

Are there other clinics na nag-offer ng intracel na preferably ortigas-makati area?

up for this thread...

i posted a review regarding my laser resurfacing experience before dun sa isang thread. (fractional CO2).
i had my laser done at sixf clinic last april 8, 2015 and its been 7 months na.

Need ko pa ulit mag-undergo ng isa pang treatment kasi open pores pa rin ako...am thinking of another clinic na mas mura.

[smiles_alwayz]

hi sissies,

i have a schedule for fco2 at powerpeel this coming week. 4500php for 3 sessions. will post update soon.

sis how much ang fCO2 sa sixf?

[smiles_alwayz]

^ How was the treatment?  I know someone who went to 6F and I think korean brand daw CO2 nila called DSE?  I've never heard of it and it's not searchable?

[smiles_alwayz]

Hi sis nicoletta😊
Yup. Korean brand yung gamit ni doc 6f sa clinic nya. Its daeshin multixel.


Update ko sa laser ko.
Powerlpeel uses the same machine as doc 6f kaya plus points sila sakin.

Staff were accommodating. Di rin sila nag-hahardsell ng products nila. They knew that i already went through this procedure kaya nung tinanong ako kung ano facial wash ko, i told them it was cetaphil and meron pa ko sa house. Sabi nila i can use as well as my olay moisturizer.
So i just bought the gel sunblock nalang.

Regarding the place, it was so so. Kalilipat lang nila dun.

Its been 3 days since my session and medyo may scabs na. Im on leave gang 26 november. Sana di na mukhang sunburnt yung face ko that time. Last time kasi ang tagal bago nawala yung sunburned peg ko.
Guess it was because of the settings. , with doc 6f kasi maximum ako. I think 700joules. With dra. Ducot naman it as just 200joules.

[googoo]

Is Dr Ducot PDS?  She might not be as experienced as the other dermatologists talaga. 

[ilovejdy]

^^sis saang branch ng powerpeel ka?
and paano kung isang session lang..do you happen to know the price?

tagal ko na gusto try CO2 pero i really don't have deep acne scars sa face. gusto ko lang talaga lumiit pores and kuminis yung korean like ang texture. i just had TCA peel sa derma. pero hindi padin ako satisfied sa results. I am eyeing on this procedure.

[grace.kelly]

sis smile_alwayz sobrang nakakahiya ba lumabas after ng session? hindi kasi ako pweed mgleave ng matagal may improvement ka na ba nakita after 1 session?

[powerpacfan]

Mga sis anong lighter option sa fractional co2 laser? Recently napansin ko kasi dami kong mga dot like brown spots sa face ko.

Halos lahat ng whitening serum mapamahal mapamura tested na pero di talaga sya mawala wala. Now option ko na ipalaser. Kaso parang diko kaya yun fractional ang haba ng downtime. Any suggestions?

i have a schedule for fco2 at powerpeel this coming week. 4500php for 3 sessions. will post update soon.

Sharing with you my 1st Fractional C02 experience in Belo Greenbelt.

I have deep acne scars on the cheeks since HS so that's 10 years ago. My derma recommended the Time Capsule which is a combination of frac C02 or Picosure and other treatments which is the fastest way to improve acne scars. She recommended that I should have at least 4 sessions. Picosure is more expensive that FC02 but derma is insisting on FC02 because it works best on acne scars.

Last Saturday, I was due for my FC02 but opted the Picosure since I have an event to attend to this Thursday and I cannot afford to let my clients see my post op face. Picosure has no down time but it requires more sessions and its more expensive. I told my derma that I will have picosure for this session then I will do FC02 next month.

Picosure can be done monthly but for my acne scars, it will require 6 sessions daw. Unlike FC02, I will only need 4 sessions with 3 to 4 months interval.

Anyway, As mentioned. I had the time capsule which is a combi of other treatments.
1st- glycopeel cleaning
2nd- numbing cream for 1 hr
3rd- air dissector (they inject air to your skin through this needles with machine)
4th- picosure treatment
5th- growth factor serum (they use this parang derma pen or derma roller to infuse the serum into the skin. For me, this is more painful than the actual picosure treatment!!)
6th- LED light for 25 mins to set it all.

Prior to the Time Capsule, I also purchased the Zen Obagi set worth around 20k. After the treatment, I was prescribed laser cream, tyrosinase and kojic cream which I all bought in their pharmacy.

A day after treatment, I can already see visible results. I already wore make up the following day. No scabbing unlike FC02. Redness has lessened and acne scars are not so pitted anymore. Around 20% improvement. Cant wait for my next session. I already scheduled my FC02 next month.

Service wise, I commend Belo because service is top notch. I was assisted throughout the entire process and there was a ff up sms from my derma post op.
Be prepared lang because ubos yaman talaga. Consider it as an investment its worth every penny!
