Joanna Pinkerton. 5 stars. BBL Treatment
I have been treated by Joanna Pinkerton at Cross Medical Group for approximately 4 years. Joanna has used the Sciton BBL on my face to remove sunspots, and it worked so well I went back for a treatment on my chest and back. The photos speak for their self, and apparently my back is now “insta famous” because my “before and after” photos have now been shared by the laser company to showcase the effectiveness of the treatment.
Additional details: My chest and back both took about 30 minutes each, and the full appointment time was aprox an hour. When she did my face the treatment was about 15 min. The pain was very slight during the treatment. Like a small rubber band pop on your skin. 2/10 on a pain management scale. (I actually dozed off for a second during the treatment- that’s how little it hurt.) Afterward, your skin feels hot, like a sunburn for about 15 minutes, but by the time you walk out of the office, there is no pain. About 3 days later my sun damage & freckles turned to darker spots, then eventually flakes off leaving clear skin below after about 6 days.
HIGHLY Recommend BBL treatment if you are starting to get those old-man spots like me. Apparently there is a method to their madness when your medical esthetician tests and selects the appropriate setting for your skin type for maximum effectiveness, so whatever Joanna did, she nailed it. If you have a choice I’d request her. She followed up with me after each treatment and I have gone back multiple times. 5 stars!
