LAET

He is a plastic surgeon and he has been recommended.  Just wondering if anyone heard good or bad things about him.

I've done several treatments on my skin with lactic acid. I've always done as the directions said...starting with small increments by leaving the solution on for a few minutes at a time. I gradually built up to about 10 minutes. The results were better but minor improvement overall.

Well I hadn't used it since last September then a couple of weeks ago, I decided to leave the stuff on a couple of areas. I left on the lactic acid 50% until I couldn't stand it....30 minutes. I wanted to focus on a spot which had remaining redmarks from laser and a raised spot from laser. Directly after rinsing with cold water I put the basil "toner" on then followed with fresh aloe vera...

Results: My skin scabbed up and the red mark is finally gone, gone, gone!
The raised mark is slightly lower. I'm just thrilled that it worked so well.
The scabbing lasted well into ten days, but would flake a little each day..

I think people should build up to this gradually as well and see what your skin can tolerate. My skin looks so much healthier as a result.

I had a consultation about Prolite.  I was very direct and frank with the aesthetician.  I asked her to be completely honest with what kind of outcome I could come to expect if I had the prolite done.  I also handed her a summary of all the skin procedures I have undergone.

She told me that pro-lite is awesome for treating pigmentation markings on the face... but that was pretty much where it ended.  She also said that the effects of non ablative lasers are not permanent.   She told me straight out that she has never seen an improvement with scarring. I asked if they reduce pore size, and she thought in some cases they do, but for myself I should not be concerned with that.


She herself had a  shallow, barely noticeable chicken pox scar, which I thought looked fine.  She's been trying to get rid of it and has tried TCA and non ablative laser, but the scar is still there.  That spoke volumes for me.

I really appreciated her honesty, it saved me time and disappointment.

I asked her about Smoothbeam laser as many people speak highly of it here.  She has worked with it, and in her opinion it didn't do much good.

Who's tried it or heard of it?  I've just learned about it today, from talking to a professional.  It's supposed to be derrived of cartilidge type material and last a couple of years.

Any feedback you've heard would be helpful, thanks!

Has anyone heard of or used pro-lite (pro-light?) non ablative lasers?  I'm going on an appointment soon, and they use pro-light there.  I haven't been able to find any info on it here or elsewhere.
