Beauty Tips For Body Care
My goals/expectations were:- general consultation for prevention reasons (check skin, moles, scalp)- talk about my type of skin and what should I use to improve its health- receive advice/recommendations about anti-aging treatments, what should I do to slow it down- I really wanted to find out about facial laser for my sun spots or other treatments regarding this.What I actually received:- an arrogant girl, in her early 30s (same as me), really proud of having 10 years of experience as a dermatologist, not in the mood to do much for me.I did my homework and entered her cabinet with a bunch of prepared questions. All she did for me was to send me to the pharmacy to buy me some retinol and vitamin C. THAT'S IT!Oh, and let me know that people who go there come with serious problems. What?! I mean, If I don't have obvious skin cancer, or bumps/pimples/sore (whatever their name is...) I shouldn't come to a dermatologist? So prevention sucks and it's not something worth a dermatologist time... OK.She also let me know that the money I paid was for a 15 min consultation, not a 30 min one (I kept asking her questions). Btw, nowhere is specified a 15 min consultation vs a 30 min one, with different prices. And I'm going to this health network (it has many clinics) for a few years now.I told her I want to get rid of 2 of my moles and after she looked at them, she told me that for what I came for, I should have gone to a cosmetic clinic, not to dermatology. Um, what? I don't want to go to a cosmetic clinic, where they have the interest to sell me expensive packages with their fancy equipment. I want professional, medical advice regarding my skin and moles.She also told me that the facial laser is expensive and not worth it. When I asked her to elaborate she gave me 3 contradictory reasons:- it could not work, doing anything for me- it could work, but until next summer- it actually could worsen the color of my spot (make them darker)She instead told me about a brand I never heard before, something like The Ordinary but high class, waaaay more expensive. And that's it.That's in Bucharest, Romania. The other consults I had were fine, and I had a bunch of them, plus lots of blood/urine/etc. tests. No problems, just a checking annual routine. So it's not about this network of clinics I'm using, just about this specific dermatologist. It sucks because I wanted for so long to experience a dermatology consultation. I had high hopes. Now, I'm asI used The Ordinary until 2 months ago when I finished the products. But even though I like the price and the way they present their products, I must confess they didn't do much for me (actually, I saw no improvement in 6 months of usage). And I had a great routine, but I think my skin needs something stronger.So here I am, ranting, frustrated... Now I have to start all over again with my personal online research and to find other products, and try them... It will be exhausting. Same problem for my curly hair... Already tried 2 brands for curly hair, bad experiences.I have a combination skin type. For the moment I'm only using my Cerave hydrating creme and Spf 50 from Avene. That it. :(If you have the same type of skin, please share your morning/night routine. I would love to take them into consideration. Or any other recommendations will be more than welcome!
