Be carful…Got burned “literally” from Photoderm

October 23, 2000

It’s been almost two years now and I still have white patches on the side of

my face from Photoderm. This was from the forth treatment of five

altogether. I felt the operator was over aggressive. My face was awful

looking with blisters for over a week. The treatment decreased my flushing

about 30% for about a month or two. My flushing has since returned. The

doctor himself (Dr. Bitter Sr.) had never administered any of my

treatments.

About six months ago I complained to Dr. Bitter about my scars. He said

that he would treat the skin around the light areas and assured me that the

pigmentation would eventually return. He admitted to me that they could

have used better settings for my type of skin.

He gave me about three treatments. The last treatment again resulted in

painful blisters that added two smaller light areas to my face. I told him

that I do not want any further treatments.

I sent him several letters asking for a refund of my money since I received

no lasting benefit from decreased flushing and now have permanent scars to

show for it. He has never responded to my request.

Please be careful especially if you are of olive or darker complexion as

myself.
