I too was 'duped' by the promise of better, younger looking skin. Marianne told me I was a perfect candidate for Affirm laser. I was dazzled by the blatant lies they told me. I had 2 Affirm lasers and one XPL. I was told..."you have the perfect skin for a high setting on this/these lasers." I'm obviously cutting this story very short.
Lynette Curr did the 'procedures' on me. She talked about how her and the others get these done all the time. What a load!!! She told me how to take care of my skin post-procedure, which I followed exactly! I moisturized, moisturized, moisturized... But it doesn't matter how much you moisturize after having such damaging heat go beyond the skin down to the muscle and bone.
After a couple of months my skin started to split apart!!! I complained and they also told me to come back and have an Erbium laser done to correct what had happened. Isn't that an admittance to what they did wrong?! In my opinion, it is. I wanted my money back, but you can probably guess how that went!
Needless to say, the skin on my face now covered with very large pores, deep, deep lines, sagging skin, stretch marks, atrophic scars, rolling scars, ice-pick scars and box-car scars. This is beyond disheartening. There are no words to describe how I feel. I look like someone took a knife to my face and made slices to it. It is literally devastating!
I too went to my doctor and dermatologist looking for answers and they are very careful right now not to say too much. I have no answers as to what to do.
After my personal experience, I'd advise anyone that is thinking of having a laser treatment done... DON'T!!! You will regret it! It is my belief that all lasers will eventually 'fast-track' your aging process and more!
If I had known the kind of damage these money-hungry (in my opinion) people are willing to inflict on others, I would have stuck with facials! No matter what is promised, do your own investigating!!
