Laser treatment ;to and Greg

[Guest guest]

My laser treatment is in the dermatology department of a big UK hospital and all

I don't know what type it is. I had a test patch done 3 months ago and it took

2 weeks till the bruising and swelling calmed down. So I am concerned about

this time having all my face done how long this will take to look reasonable.

Also, I take oxytetracycline antibiotics and no-one has said to stop taking them

before. Should I be tapering them off?

I'd be grateful for any comments from the group as I feel I may be swept along

by something I may regret afterwards.

After years of my face looking bad I was so pleased to have a chance of

improvement I didn't question it at the time.

Gill: You will be getting pulsed-dye laser treatment. Personally if

I would be very cautiious about pulsed-dye treatment.

Any sort of excessive brusing or swelling (no matter through what

type of treatment such as Photoderm, Pulse Dye, etc) has the

possibility of making things worse. Did you read in Dr. Nase's book

that his Pulsed Dye treatment reduced some residual redness but made

his skin sensitivity and flushing much worse than before. Lots of

others have talked about the same thing happening.

Before you go, try giving Dr. Mervyn a call or an email,

his website is at www.woodfordmedical.com - he does Photoderm

treatments but he should also be able to give you an honest appraisal

of what to expect.

Those are just my thoughts.
