“Everyone thinks that medical cosmetic treatments are just for the rich and famous, but working on an aesthetic nursing magazine has shown me that many men and women seek procedures every day…..Last Thursday, after a skin consultation to determine my suitability for treatment with leading Brazilian dermatologist Dr Ariel Haus, I decided to experience a procedure myself for both personal and professional reasons….The procedure involved two different devices – the SRA laser for the treatment of acne scarring and fine lines, and the Sublime laser for lifting and tightening. The first laser used on my skin was the SRA, which involved bursts of heat at staggered points across the mid face, above the jawline and along the forehead. Of the two lasers used, this was the more uncomfortable treatment; however, having said that, it was a procedure I still tolerated well. The only strange thing about it was not knowing when to expert the bursts of heat, as I had to wear eye protection and couldn’t see what was going on around me. But Dr Haus checked at several points whether I was OK, so I maintained a sense of ease. The treatment with the SRA only lasted about 10 minutes overall, and cooling gel was reapplied to my skin every time the laser was used. Moving on to the Sublime laser treatment, this was a more comfortable procedure and worked in lines rather than at static points. Dr Haus used longer strokes around the outside of my face and decreased the length of the passes in the middle of my face. This part of the laser procedure only took about 5 minutes and cooling gel was used again throughout…Not only did my skin look better, there was no redness or patches of dry skin immediately after treatment and there was no pain either… Dr Haus was extremely skilled and knowledgeable, and I really felt at ease during my treatment with him. I really would urge anyone thinking about laser skin rejuvenation to see a health professional, and Dr Haus is a fantastic person to go to in the first instance.”
