Hi Ladies!
My name is Erin, I have been lurking here a while because I love to read your stories about stripping. For some reason I am fascinated with stripping and strip club culture and psychology, although I haven't done any stripping myself (I am a girl) Hope you don't think I'm creepy!![]()
I have also found the Body Business Forum a great place for current information and non judgemental discussions about different body related crap.
So... I have a question that's related to my appearance, and when I was trying to think of somewhere I could get an educated opinion without feeling condescended too... I thought of hereI hope this is ok. If its not just ignore me
On to the question:
I have some scarring on my arms from where I cut myself a few years ago when I was suicidal (I'm fine now ). A couple of months ago I went to a cosmetic surgeon to see what options I had for treating them...
He said that if he cut the scars out and sewed things back together it would just scar again, so there was no point, which makes sense to me.
I asked him about laser surgery, and Intense Pulsed Light, that sort of thing. He said that lasers were a waste of time and would do nothing but cost me money. In conclusion, he basically said there was nothing he could do.
I thought that was kind of a bummer, but I figured he knew what he was talking about, and that was the end of that. However, recently I've been reading a few things, like a Paula Beugon report [URL="Cosmetic Cop[/URL] and some medical websites, and they say that lasers and intense pulsed light in particular can have a marked improvement on hypertrophic scarring (the type I have).
Also I looked through the archives here and it seems several people have benefited from laser treatment for scarring.
My question is what do I do now? Does anyone here know what the real deal is with lasers and scarring? Was the cosmetic surgeon I saw uninformed? Did he just decide for me that the results would not be enough to be worthwhile? Are the reports I've been reading wrong?
Should I ring the doctor and ask what gives? Try to email him through his practice? Forget about him and see another doctor?
Any advice would be much appreciate, and you girls all rock muchly!![]()
