Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 Hi all I started treatments in July, and my evaluation placed me in the 50% severe bracket; i.e. it was noticeable but not that bad. Dr Burgess suggested I would need three kits (6 bottles) and three or 4 visits to bring my face up to normal. After two vists, 4 vials later, I look much better BUT the third treatment is really needed. Placing a two kit limit is an outrageous restriction for anyone who has visually noticeable lipoatrophy. If true, this limit is an affront to anyone needing this treatment and needs to be lifted immediately. Due to financial restrictions, I won't be able to afford another kit until late spring. Ive been told that waiting that long is NOT recommended, but I have no choice since the kit cost went up 3X since it was approved. ($350 in July, $1100 now) Treatment went from $750 (including kit) to $1500. Wishing everyone a wonderful new year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 31, 2004 Report Share Posted December 31, 2004 yes, that is true what Doctor told you. You have to finish up all the session rather than delay. I did all on time make it stay impact on cheeks much longer. The expense of kits, my advice is to get loan from your family, bank, or whatever you can find then pay back. or you can use credit card like I did. I pay off that just months ago. Also try to file for insurance to pay the rest. --- akousen wrote: > > > Hi all > > I started treatments in July, and my evaluation > placed me in the 50% > severe bracket; i.e. it was noticeable but not that > bad.
