Guest guest Posted July 20, 2002 Report Share Posted July 20, 2002 Okay, I am not a dumb woman...and I have done my homework, but when it comes to this issue..I feel like I just stepped out of my cave..lol. ;-) I have heard the horror stories..and the money spent and lost..and the pain and time wasted. Basically, I have 3,000 and I want to get some laser work done. I do not have the money for some 11 treatments or something. What the heck works..and what doesn't? Better yet..what is a waste of time..and what isn't? I live in the Seattle/WA area...does anyone know of a good laser Doctor here? I am so scared to get this done...but I feel as though I need to get " something " done. What the heck is the difference between PhotoDerm and FotoFacial? One treats the whole face..and one treats just certain spots? I don't get it. Shouldn't the whole face be treated if you are paying $500.00 a pop? This is so frustrating. I barely eat because everything makes me flush, I quit exercising...because that made it even worse..and I have lost 30 pounds in a month..and my doctor is mad at me. I figured if I got some treatments done..it would help my situation. I am scared..and I really need some advice. I know I sound like an idiot..but I really have sat up night after night researching. I have researched so much, that all the information looks the same now. Also..the anti- biotics are killing me..I have to get off of them..but when I do..my goodness..it gets so bad. I had hopes the laser would help me get off of the anti-biotics. Could someone please help me..I do not know what to do. I can afford to lose the weight..but this is a very unhealthy way to do it. The kick in the pants is, is that I am NOT trying to lose weight. I am trying not to flush. Please HELP..anyone. Thank you for any answers in advance. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
