"I am an 46 year old entertainer who has been performing for most of my life. In my industry my appearance is my product, so looking youthful and fresh is vital. They say “You are only as good as your last gig”
In the last couple of years I began noticing that people were looking at me differently and would ask me how old I was. I even noticed younger people treating me as if I was an oldy and not an equal. They would start act differntly in front of me which I disliked emensly. Age to me was starting to become a barrier. Age discrimination is when people are denied resources or opportunities ( in my case gigs) as a result of being judged to be old. Age prejudice is when older people are viewed in stereotypical and negative ways. I found at the individual level these actions are triggered either by chronological age or by the visual appearance of the person: face, body, and dress.
Well I decided not to let this get to me or make me bitter, so I just got better. I decided to get better not bitter ! So this is when I decided to do something about it so I made a choice to rewind the clock and make me look BETTER.
This is when I met Dr Daniela Bitlan and here wonderful team at the Sydney Medical, Dental & Cosmetic centre. In my industry I meet a lot of people from all warps of life and you develop a strong discernment to who is genuine, honest and professional in all that they do and who are not. So it was very important for me to meet the right people to help me on my journey to look better. This was especially important to me being this was my not only my appearance, it was my lively hood.
Well after meeting with Dr Bitlan and her team I immeadiatly had that peaceful feeling that this was the place to be. Everything they explained and suggested to me made complete sence. This helped me feel comfortable and confident that they where going to improve my appreance. So I put my trust into them and I am so glad I listerned to my heart because everything turned out just wonderfully. For me I needed my crows feet to go and for my eyes area to look young and fresh again. So I was told all about the Amazing fractional and peal lazer treatments.
Let me say to anyone thinking about doing this proceedure…don’t hesitate! Just trust and do it because it works. It’s like a small miracle and I still cant believe the results. I thought the results would be great, yet to my amazement , the results are even better than what I expected. The proceedure was so easy and not invasive at all. The pain whist having the treatment was minimal (I would say it’s no more pain than having your hair pulled through a cap for streaks). Your first given numbing cream all over the area which takes effect after 20-30 min. Plus you have the choise of laughing gas during the proceedure. (loved that gas). They then put these metal eye covers into the socket of you eye to protect so they could work closer around the eye. After I went home the pain was that of bad sunburn. With some panadole this was not even noticable. I had the treatment on a Monday and it was completley healed with the new me on Friday. I look fabulous and my friends cant believe it. They say it has taken 10 years of my age. Thanks to the team at Sydney Medical, Dental & Cosmetic centre, they have turned back the clock for an entertainer to continue doing what I love to do. It has given me a revamp of my spirit , more confidence and a new lease on life. So thanks a milion. I really appreciate it. "

" I decided to have the Pearl Treatment done to even out my skin tone and lighten the pigmentation on my face caused from years of sun damage.
I’m extremely happy with the outcome. Not only have I now got a more even complexion, I’ve also got fewer fine lines around the eye area making my skin look younger and fresher.
I’ve even had comments from family and friends about how good my skin is looking.
I would definitely recommend this treatment to anyone who wants a 2nd chance at having great skin.

" Would I do it again?
Absolutely!Did I understand what the procedure actually entailed?
Absolutely not!If you are older - I’m nearly 60 - you may need a deeper level of treatment that will have a longer recovery time
. Give yourself a good 10 days. Stock up on videos and white vinegar and stay cocooned in your home for a week or so and be prepared to look ‘awful’.
Literally you can’t put your face outside the door or you just might ‘frighten the horses’.
Two weeks after the procedure I had no reservations saying it was absolutely worth it!"
On Platelet Rich Plasma Injections
" Hi Daniela,
I've been meaning to thank you for getting me onto the platlette rich plasma injections.This is by far the most effective anti-ageing treatment I have had.
As you know I've tried a number of cosmetic procedures to try to reduce the wrinkles around my eyes, reverse sun damage and improve the appearance of my skin.
I've tried your Botox, which is great and I will continue to use.
However while the botox prevents wrinkles I felt I needed something more to improve the look of my skin, particularly around my eyes.
The skin was looking sunken, fragile, and was starting to sag, and although the botox prevented the wrinkles from getting any worse, I really needed something to plump it up and make it look stronger and firmer.
I tried Juvederm, which I thought was quite good. I noticed the improvement immediately. I liked it so much that a few months later when it wore off I came in for a top up. The second time round I was not as happy with it. One eye looked lumpy, and it felt a little uncomfortable, like I had a lump under my skin.
While the juvederm was great for the nasolabial folds, I wasn't completely happy with how it looked around my eyes. I just felt like it was an injection of putty or something hard, inserted under my skin and it wasn't actually doing anything for my skin. It was uncomfortable and my skin still looked thin and fragile. It was around this time that you recommended a new procedure - the platlette rich plasma injections.
Ok so these are painful, and the first time I had it done my eyes swelled up so much I looked like catwoman.
But despite the pain, and despite the swelling, it is so worth it.
The results are outstanding! I cant believe how much better I look. I love my eyes now! The skin around them is firm and plump, there are no wrinkles, the skin looks stronger and healthier, and I look younger and have more confidence.
This is by far the most effective treatment. I am so greatful to you for telling me about this and for doing such a wonderful job each time you perform the procedure.
Best regards, "
