I wrote a review in June of 2014 about SkinCare Physicians (partially reprinted below) and thought I would follow up with a review of a procedure I had done on March 27, 2015 which was a Fractional ablative CO2 laser resurfacing. I'd like to give you my personal experience with this process but if you'd like to read the medical specifics, please go to: resurfacinghttp://www.skincarephysicians.net/services/cosmetic-dermatology/laser-skin-resurfacing/ .
I wrote this information in my previous review, but offer it here again to bring everyone up to speed:
I've been researching skin specialists for possible skin rejuvenation treatments. I strongly believe it's extremely important to make sure to go to a high quality provider and sometimes that means paying a higher price. I have received filler procedures in another state and have had good and horrible results--all by the same physician. I am now considering something that is actually going to resurface my skin and encourage collagen growth. "Oops" is not an option. I asked some trusted friends and my medical advisers for references and continually heard the same name, Dr. Dover of SkinCare Physicians. Thus, I made my consultation appointment in March, 2014.
I was so comfortable at the conclusion of my consultation, I decided to have a filler treatment that same day and am very pleased with the results. Yes, the individual cost for each type of vial is more expensive than other places, but Dr. Dover is so talented in placement, he is able to achieve exceptional results with less product. So in the end, the cost equals out. I felt I was in very good hands during the entire process. He's a great communicator and maintains a high standard of professionalism. His Assistant and staff were equally as good in all that they did. Honestly, I will definitely return and highly recommend Dr. Dover and his entire staff.
Dr. Dover and his staff made sure I understood the extent of this procedure and what I should expect afterward, which helped me fully prepare for both the procedure and the following 12 days of down time. I also did a "Google" search for the procedure and found one woman brave enough to show pictures of her face following the procedure. She gave a great tip, which I will pass on to you all: Before having the procedure, go to a place like Sephora and purchase both the Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation and Pressed Mineral Foundation. I found this make-up to be safe to use on my "new" skin and it covers the red look so I was able to go to meetings, etc., within 12 days of having the procedure. I was, and continue to be so satisfied with their products, I intend to write a recommendation on their website too.
I honestly wish I had the courage to show you some before and after shots, but only my husband and one extremely close friend knows I had anything done. Everyone else simply keeps saying how good I look. And the truth be told, I really do look good, especially for 66 years old! So much so that I've been told several times since having the procedure just how beautiful I am--by both men and women who were complete strangers! I can't remember that ever happening before in my entire life. In fact, I found it so different that I've tried to figure out why and have come down to these two things.
First, Dr. Dover is a master of combining just enough fillers and Botox to decrease my wrinkles but I still look natural. The wrinkles around my eyes, on my eyelids and most of them around my lips are gone. Some remain, but to quote Dr. Dover, "It would look odd if you had no wrinkles at all." He's right!
Second, it's my eyes. I believe a person's life spark illuminates their eyes. Although I still feel energetic and alive, I've honestly noticed in the past couple of years that the spark in my eyes has diminished. Well, now it's back! I'm even comfortable walking around the house without eye make-up of any kind!
Obviously, I am very satisfied and pleased with the results of procedure and Dr. Dover. I am also so very thankful to have been in the hands of such an amazingly talented professional. As I said in my previous review, this is your face. Oops is NOT an option. I would highly recommend looking into having this procedure (obviously I think it should be with Dr. Dover) before having an eye lift because I believe the results to be more natural.
I hope this review has been helpful to you. read more
