I have been thinking about facial freckle removal for over a decade. I had a lot of sun damage growing up in the 90s where sunscreen wasn’t a thing, and after having kids my pigmentation darkened even more. In the last ten years I would have seen over a dozen top dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons and laser clinics, but I have always hesitated to proceed as I had 5 main criteria in choosing the correct place and none quite ticked all the boxes - after all it is on my face and I have seen some disasters online.1. The clinic had to have evidence of working and achieving results with Asian skin. It is crucial they understood that Asian pigmentation is different.2. The therapist/beautician/nurse (the person holding the laser) has EXPERIENCE. Laser treatments do not require someone with a doctorate and practically anyone can get a licence to do it, so I really didn’t want some young kid fresh out of school (and sometimes they don’t even have that) be holding a laser near my face pretending to relate to my post-birth and multiple children, and traumatised skin. Most of the top clinics had girls who had only been using lasers for a short period or could only direct you to the website if probed for more information.3. Actually understand the different laser types and effects. Most only understand and sell the one laser they have available- which is not necessarily the correct application to everyone’s problem. Again comes back to Experience.4. No pressure selling into multi session when everyone’s skin is different, reacts different etc.5. Affordable investment.Now you can see why it took me a long time to find someone… but you can thank me later.I was referred to CMC by a friend and finally booked to have a consult with Jenner. She is awesome, highly experienced and certainly knows her stuff when it comes to lasers. She is genuine, factual yet compassionate person with a wealth of knowledge. I was very impressed that she’s been using lasers for over 30years or so, and is very passionate about it. She has quite the collection of them in her clinic.I was recommended to just start with one session of CO2 skin resurfacing, see how my skin reacts then proceed with q-switch if necessary. The actual treatment was quick and painless (after numbing cream), CO2 downtime was 7 days, although I was back to work after 48hrs, scabs and all.The results are amazing! I wish I had done it sooner. I cannot recommend CMC highly enough and look forward for my next treatment.Thanks Jenner & CMC Team ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
