Hello everyone,
Just thought I would give an update on my photoderm progress. I have had 5
treatments thus far and would say I can see a 60-65% reduction. I am going
to have a few small spot areas done that appear to be more difficult to
remove...the small area along side my nose and cheek with the photoderm
laser. This has only been out since Jan 99. The machine my doc has is
called a multi-light (has both Photoderm and photoderm laser) he says it will
go much deeper and is very similar to the regular photoderm. I will let you
all know how this TX compares with the other. Won't be having that done for
several more weeks.
Overall, photoderm has lessened flushing very much...I still will get a small
area of flushing if I cry around the nose and cheek (where I plan to do the
laser). However, my skin's appearance (pores, pimples, bumps) are not
affected by photoderm. I think it is erroneous to say that photoderm helps
this for in my experience it does not. That was a disappointment...I had
read on Dr. Bitter's web page that it did and for me it is not so. But it
has been a true blessing by relieving the overall redness and
inflammation/burning of the skin.
Just sharing my experiences and thoughts,
Darlene
