As promised, I'm back to give an update on my fraxel treatments. I'm about 3 months post-fraxel (6 treatments total) and see absolutely no decrease in scarring. I have moderate scarring, and at times ...

Glad to hear about your success story, sunblock. I admire your patience for 2 years waiting for the demarcation line to fade - but as you said, it was worth it. Good luck with your punch floats - if t...

Jasmin, pm me if you want the names of 2 people Rullan has screwed up within the past year - one with silicone and the other with kenalog, big bumps and giant dents where once there was smooth skin...

Jasmin, how are you? are these scars the result of your botched exoderm by Dr. Peter Rullan? Did you hear about the girl he used as a lab rat with silicone & made gigantic bumps in her skin? Good ...

YES! There is one place he punched where there WASN'T anything - so now I have an icepick where once there was nothing but smooth skin. I'm too gun-shy to try and correct these for fear of making thin...

I don't get it either; in fact, IT DIDN'T WORK and I'm worse for the wear. My advice is: DON'T DO IT!!!!!!

They wouldn't dare! They think you look great, and you DO, but deep down they know you are only looking for personal improvement and that IS admirable and worthy of support. It's nice to know you're i...

To be candid, I know everyone is looking at me at the beach, etc., just like I check out bikinis. I am way ok with female ogling, but I have a hard time when I sense a gay guy is eyeing me. That's...

why don't you guys start a class action suit?

Widgie, who was the doctor that responded? Would he mind if you revealed his name - I'm just so impressed that he answered you so thoroughly. I guess b/c it's a learning facility they are more intrigu...

hey bill! sorry you're disappointed with the scarring results - just remember that you should continue to see improvement in the coming months. weighing in the other benefits you've gotten in terms of...

Oh My God! AVOID SWINEHEART LIKE THE PLAGUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't dare to even darken his door! He's screwed up numerous people on just about every single procedure - I don't think I've heard of him ...

I just used vitamin E for 2-3 weeks after the stitches came out b/c that's what my doctor said to do. I didn't know about cp's at the time. Yes, the scar was slightly, very slightly, indented & yo...

Best of luck to you, sweetie. I've never had a scar excised, but I did have an area the size of a quarter cut out from my chin area, with 7 stitches below and 8 on top - since I had no choice in the m...

Thank you, James! Have a fabulous 4th of July! God Bless America.

sword, have you considered legal action?or a complaint with the AMA and/or Louisiana Board of Health? the 4 of you should maybe look into that; it would make you feel less victimized & more in co...

Rupert, I KNOW - I was TRYING to be funny. Is there ANYTHING more tedious than explaining a joke?   p.s. I have a place to stay in London, but that WOULD be fun if we were all there together! I'...

You should PM Rupert & Zombie, being as they've had it & would be better able to answer your questions. I do think it's notoriously hard to "fill" ice picks irrespective of what filler you're ...

Would someone ask their doctor how they sterilize the fraxel laser head? I was shocked when I asked this of my laser hair removal tech. All they did was wipe it off! EW! Damn, I wish I didn't kno...

Well, you SHOULD be 100% thrilled with your results! You look amazing! thanks so much for posting your pic!!! CONGRATS!!

Rupert,   Can you clear up something? If Isolagen is your own cells cultured how is it different from just removing cells like from the back of your ear (like how they are extracted in skin graf...

Rupert, I'm so happy for you. You look great. My prayer is that we have Isologen in the US soon so the cost won't be so prohibitive for you guys; British patients are literally carrying the company as...

How odd. H/she didn't SEEM psycho; I mean, WHY would you fabricate such a story? Rupert, how's the Isologen holding up? I'm SO JEALOUS - I would give my right arm for some! Their main lab is only a co...

Hi sad. This thread is almost a year old; Capshaw left the board shortly after he arrived. I just bumped it for someone to take a look...I suppose it couldn't HURT to PM/email him, but I don't know th...

Bump for ylem!
