As far as my teenage years, I struggled with serious acne issues. This continued into adulthood with embarrasing acne scarring. Out in public and taking photos were very, very difficult for me. I felt that people were questioning why would someone ruin their skin that way. This led to a deep depression. I was afraid to go see a skin specialist with the fear of being judged by the staff as well. After finding the courage, I decided to do a great deal of research on Dermatologists in my area. As important as this was for me, I needed to make sure that I check background history, experience and credentials of who I would be connecting with. I decided to meet with Dr. Shelton. As soon as I arrived at the location I felt a calm - which was truely unexpected - feeling with the staff. They welcome me with no judgement and no surprise to my situation, what a relief for me. Meeting Dr. Shelton for the first time, I knew right away that my choice was a good one. He felt my struggle and immediately was patient and understanding. After his great advice, I decided to start Fraxel treatments and this was the best choice I've made regarding my situation. After my first treatment alone, I had a lifted feeling - as well as my confidence level - to walk down the streets with my head held high and decided to loose the hat - which I've worn all the time to cover my face. I now know that I made the perfect decision to seek Dr. Shelton's expertise. I owe him my life and can't wait for my next treatment! I can't thank him enough! On my way to my family reunion with my camera in hand!
