Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 I live in SF and have had treatments at Dr Bitter's office with Jeniffer Schaefer. I think she is an RN and has at least five years of experience with photoderm. I've had very good results, but haven't dared to jeopordize them by applying harsh chemicals to my face. It's theoretically possible that the photoderm toughens the skin, but it's moot since I use, and am happy with very mild cleansers and sunscreens (tolerin or aquanil, and zinco from Sy). ceans who have been treated by Dr Bitter Snr or Jnr > Hi, > > I live in Australia and am considering going to America to have > photoderm done by Dr Bitter Snr as there is no one in Australia who > is trained in the treatment of ceans.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Before I decided whether I want photoderm treatment or not, I went to a famous derm nearby who do not do cosmetical surgery by himself,I think in that case his opinion should be more accurate than the ones who does the surgery. He recommended photoderm treatment if I want to get rid of my redness and flushing, he warned that it would only clear for six months, maybe or maybe not. As for best doctor, he recommend Bitter Jr instead of Bitter Sr. He said Jr is the person who did most research about the photoderm. I thought about this for a while, I still decide to book appointments with Bitter Sr instead of Jr. For the reason below: Doing enough research just like you have a degree, but in real life to solve real problem, experience counts more than theory. If everybody trust Bitter Sr instead of Jr, than will have more people went to his office for his treatments, then he got more experience. One problem of his office is my first appts get cancelled, and ask me to schedule another one which is three months away. I think if they cancel an appointment, it is better to offer other alternatives that do not need wait that long.
