I have to share a terrible experience from a treatment I received at Knox Dermatology on Travis St in Dallas. I went to Dr. Wooming's office because I had been going there for years and I trusted him. I went in for an IPL (Intense Pulse Laser) on my face, and I didn't see any results after the treatment. I let the office know and Dr. Wooming said I could have another IPL at half price so I made an appointment. When I went in for my appointment Dr. Wooming recommended Virtue RF instead of the half price IPL I was scheduled for. After listening to the benefits he described, I agreed to Virtue RF even though it was 4 or 5 times higher than the treatment I planned on.
While getting the Virtue RF, Dr. Wooming entered the treatment room, asked how it was going and then told the tech to turn it up. After care instructions were to stay out of the sun and apply the rest of the serum (that was left over from the treatment) which I followed. The next evening (Saturday 4/30, 2022) my face started getting really red and raw similar to a sunburn. Even though I applied ice packs to try to stop the burning it got worse overnight, and my face had severe burns and needle abrasion marks all over. I called the office first thing Monday morning and told them about it. They said I could come in if I felt it was necessary, and I definitely did think it was. When I went to his office he made a very disturbing remark - "well you wanted results". It was as though he wanted to make me feel like it was my fault that my face was burned, that I asked for it. Here I was, coming to him for help, feeling horrible, stressed out, and in pain and he felt the need to say that? Dr. Wooming gave me samples from his office to apply, and he sent me on my way out the back door so his patients waiting wouldn't see me. It was so bad, it hurt and I looked horrible. I was so worried my face would be scarred for life and I do have scars and discoloration on my face from that horrible day. Even now, a year and a half later, after multiple visits and following all the instructions I received from his office.
My goal was to get safe skin treatments to help with lines and sun damage, I wanted my skin to look as good as possible for my age (64). After thousands of dollars spent in his office and following all instructions for the last 1.5 years, I look five to ten years older than before the "treatment" and I have many pictures to prove it. During a follow up visit Dr. Wooming did say that this should not have happened (which I obviously knew).
Just wanted to share my experience to make others think twice before having a treatment like this. I wish I had NEVER had it. read more
