Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 I had 5 photoderm last summer and was pleased with the results ,However over the course of the year due to my lifestyle,my redness returned full force.I went in to see another doctor for pulsed dye and he said pulsed dye is the wrong laser for my problemBut that he thought I should do photorejuvenation,With further investigation turns out this is a photoderm l;aser!!!!!!! and he charges $800 per a session over twice as much as the other doctor!!! However he claims he knows all the special settings and that I will have better longer lasting results.Well I am not going to pay double so I am going to go back to the other doctor and just do more sessions hoping to get rid of some of the deeper vessels this time with more sessions. Have any of you had long term lasting results with photoderm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 18, 2002 Report Share Posted April 18, 2002 I had two pulse dyes initially, and while they were very beneficial in some areas of my face, a couple spots actually worsened and flushed more. I then had two v-beams done. The first v-beam repaired the spots that pulse dye made worse, and the 2nd v-beam really cleaned house to the point that seborrhea/light acne was pretty much all that was left. Just something to ponder if you aren't satisfied with your pulse dye results. > That is so weird that your doctor said that pulse dye wasn't for your > problem.
