EXPERIENCE WITH MY DERMATOLOGIST

Monday, January 19, 2009

Before, I really don't want to go to the derma. But when I go to college, I tried to go to a derma. Her name is Dra. Guieb, and she's very cool!! And she's a really good dermatologist. She doesn't offer products that you don't really need unlike other dermatologists who offer products that you don't need at all! And the best things is, even if she's a very brilliant dermatologist, she doesn't charge big! Before, I go to her 2-3 times a week to have an injection. Yeah, that's true. 2-3 times a week. That's how bad my acne was. Injection costs 50 pesos (1$). She doesn't charge per pimple, it's like a package, she'll inject all the pimple that she'll see on your face for 1$. I really believe that she's a brilliant derma even if she didn't make my acne stop. I'm just a hard-headed patient. I didn't follow all her prescriptions. Before, she asked me if I want to take a pill. I said what pill? She said "acnetrex". So I tried it, every pill costs P50 (1$). I should take it 3 times a week, so that's about P150 (3$) a week. I've taken it for 1 1/2 months. And I've seen a very impressive result, I barely have acne while I was taking the pill but my skin has dried too much. And because I didn't have enough money to continue buying the pill, I stopped using it. So my acne started to show again. I bought benzoyl peroxide on her clinic and it's really good and I'm using it until now, if I see a zit forming, I'll just put the benzoyl peroxide there and the next morning, it's gone. She also gave me Night Cream, it's for the acne scars. It will make my skin peel. She also gave me a sunblock because I'm using night cream. Night Cream and Benzoyl Peoxide costs P150 (3$), and the sunblock costs P50 (1$). But I stopped using the night cream and sunblock after 2 months. Maybe because my skin looks good already. But after a month, acne and acne scars occured again. I tried another product but not from her clinic. Some worked good but mostly, made my skin worst. If I just follow all the prescriptions of Dra. Guieb, maybe I have a wondeful skin now. I still go to her clinic once month for consultation. I also have diamond peel on her clinic just to lighten up my acne scars. And sometimes,I go to her clinic for facial treatment.
