Guest guest Posted June 29, 2002 Report Share Posted June 29, 2002 As I have posted previously, I am one of those people who has experienced nothing but positive results from the photoderm treatments I had two years ago. And as another poster has pointed out, a lot of us who have had good results from photoderm don't post on the board as much as people who DON'T have good results, or who are undergoing the typical rosacea trauma (the redness, swelling, bumps, stinging...whatever. Jeez, I've had it all!). I read this board almost daily, but don't feel compelled to post if my skin is doing OK, or if I feel I don't have anything to contribute. After reading the posts regarding wasted money and time spent on photoderm, I feel horrible for my fellow rosaceans who have undergone this procedure only to find that not only have their symptoms not abated, but sometimes have gotten worse. I will (hopefully) begin " Fotofacial " treatments next month in Cary, North Carolina. The photoderm treatments I had two years ago greatly reduced my flushing/swelling/bumpiness/telangelesia; however, due to the progressive nature of this disease, I'm due for a " tune up " . I will keep you guys posted. BTW, I'm experiencing a pretty bad flush right now, along with a side order of assorted pustules, garnished with a sprig of facial edema. This lovely turn of events is probably due to the fact that in a few hours I will be skydiving for the first time, and I'm terrified of heights (just looking at that Geico commercial where the briefcase clutching insurance dudes parachute out of the plane makes my palms sweaty.) I wonder if my rosacea has migrated to my brain, causing me to shell out my hard earned cash to JUMP OUT OF A PLANE. I'm pretty much scared sh#@less as I write this. Goodbye, cruel world. And the best of luck to all of you. Jillian > Why haven't the photoderms been working for people? Im confused > now!
