yup cooltouch is indeed created for scars
i used to like ND yag but have u tried cooltouch?
i think it is better than yag for my case
Dr bc ng have been using a series of equipments depending on the patient condition he see tat day, sometimes up to 3 for my frenz case
e.g dermabrasion, yag + IPL..in one single session
this is something he is very proud of haha!
he is one of few pioneers then
hey candall,
no problem, i love details....
yes, cooltouch can do lifting n brightening effect too. personally n on doc's suggestion, i find Nd Yag's effect last longer. there are times where i hv to break my treatment between 2-4months n my skin still looks same. whereas, if i dun concentrate on Nd Yag and go for Vit C/IPL/Cooltouch etc, the effect last shorter. but think the best judge is ourselves cos we know our skin better.
ea treatment in astique is abt 250 plus gst for me. my treatment covers neck for one price. so yr doc's price will be better for new users n those with multiple problems while mine is cheaper for maintain once effect is achieved.
dun know how old u r but if one can afford it layering according to skin docs shld start at late 20s. RF treatments goes deeper n slows collagen degeneration effectively while inducing more production. whereas, CoolTouch n Nd Yag cannot reach as far n r not effective to slow aging. thus, depends entirely on yr standards n personal demand.
cheers,
