I had the Ellacor process accomplished on the fifteenth of February. With that I’m 16 days and nonetheless have pink line on cheeks, holes, redness. I really feel like I’m doing every little thing proper, however really feel like I’m not therapeutic like they mentioned I’d be by now. Is there something I can begin placing, purchase to assist shut the holes, assist with the redness, the road? I’ve not been capable of exit of my home, feeling a bit depressed and regretting this. I’m 53, nice pores and skin, however this I really feel has ruined me.
Sure… my coronary heart goes out to you. Problems from this process are quite a few now, and could also be resulting in the corporate’s demise. When you observe our Instagram, you’ll see extra on this at @conciergedermandlaser there. The corporate thus far has not been attentive to all of the submit process issues that Ellacor is inflicting.
One query as you may think is ….who pays for fixing the issues which can be endemic to this process? The medical doctors actually don’t need to as a result of they know these weren’t brought on by an error on their half individually, however are associated to the expertise. The corporate, so far as I do know, hasn’t established a fund to pay for issues that may very well be fastened. It’s an issue thus far with no good resolution.
Listed here are some options for you and others with these issues:
- It will completely not spoil you and can get higher with time, however proper now it feels terrible. Please be light with your self.
- It’s essential to contact the clinic/physician the place you had this accomplished, report back to them what is going on, and provides them an opportunity to repair these issues or counsel what to do.
- For the extended redness (larger than 1-2 months), thus far most individuals with this have NOT gotten enchancment from the Vbeam laser or a BBL/IPL therapy. Making an attempt a protracted pulse YAG laser could also be efficient for the redness.
- It’s actually vital to discover a therapist who may also help you thru this era. Melancholy normally deepens whenever you really feel like you’ll be able to’t exit.
- Are you able to discover a good make-up artist or aesthetician that may train you how you can cowl this whereas it’s resolving? I did that as a result of for months my normal tinted sunscreen and tinted moisturizer simply wasn’t slicing it.
- The tiny holes that create a texture change can typically be improved with a Fraxel Twin laser which has been used efficiently for years for gentle to reasonable zits scarring.
Good luck to you and I hope this helps!
