V- you mentioned you had rosacea. Did you have redness and flushing before the steroid? Did your derm who did SPRS say that it would help by making your skin thicker? Do you have any burning and flushing anymore?

Yes, i have it before, but after steroid cream it become more. Now i dont have burning and flushing anymore. Derma said that skin will become thiker in 6-12 month.

V- Are you

Yes, i have it before, but after steroid cream it become more. Now i dont have burning and flushing anymore. Derma said that skin will become thiker in 6-12 month.

V- Are you finding the spider veins are becoming less noticeable since the SPRS yet?

Hi, Cute! Yes i think them became less visible. I will take a pic in month after last injections.

I am so happy for you. Keeping your healing in my thoughts!

Thank you so much, Cute!

Sorry, V. One more thing....your derm said your skin was more elastic. Did she say that SPRS will recreate elastin fibres as well? Can you ask her?

Hi, Cute! I am sorry, i couldnt ask my derma because she is at hospital now.

Hi, Cute! How are you? I just want to say that i find good product for couperose. "Anti-couperose aktive" Biofaktor (German). It includes hialuronic acid and anti-couperose serum.

Thank you for the info. I am doing okay....just trying to focus on the positive and solutions. How are you? How is your skin feeling?

V- Any progress with your skin?

Vzhik?

Any updates?

Hi, guys! I'm very sorry that i didnt post here in long time. We (me and my husband) were in immigrration process, it was very difficult. We moved to USA.

My skin is very good, it isnt peel, no redness, wrinkles became less. It is less sensetive, now i can even wash my face with soap.

It is 60% improvment now, i think.

You're in the US? Wow! I hope the move is a good one for you. Where in the US did you end up? I am going to look into LaViv in New Jersey. It is a lot more expensive than in Moscow, but I am hopeful that I can fund raise. Glad to hear your skin is coming along so well.

Thank you! I'm in Portland (oregon). I feel that my skin become thiker, but vessels are still visible.

Are the vessels less visible than they were or just as bad? I am really happy for you. Does the skin seem to stay moist now?

Of course, vessels became less visible then it was. My skin is soft and moisturised, no more peel of. Now it is not like paper.

It is not look like before using steroid cream, but much better then before treatment.

op can u show before pics?? bcs i read all the horror u wrote here nd then see pics of nearly perf skin?

I wonder if you had another round, if the improvements would be even greater! So happy for you though. Keep in touch.

Shiki- She was pretty clear in describing her damage as steroid atrophy, not scarring. It's really hard to show on a photo, but it is a horrible condition.

Vzhik- I forgot to ask if you used the steroid every day? How is your skin now? I think I am going to end up going to Istanbul for the treatment. Please keep me updated. Still no burning?

Shiki, it is very hard to show condiyion of steroid damaged skin on photo, i tried.

Cute, yes i used it every day. And still have not burning at all. I can walk on sun without SPF cream, and my skin feel good.

Now i can dont use mousterizers, my skin feel good without. Istill have large pores, some wrinkles, but them became less after treatment. I'm going also use dermaroller in autmn or winter. I wish you luck, Cute!

I am so glad to hear. I think I am going to go to Turkey for the fibroblast treatment. Even less than Moscow! My face is still burning....I hope that it works to stop it. I can't imagine the damage the constant inflammation is doing. Do you feel your skin is thicker now?

Yes, it become thicker, but not like befor steroid. But i'm happy with this result.
