On December 20th I gave my partner a refferrel to a new Doctor that my freind was using(she stopped going also very unhappy with her results). He went to the office for a consult and she told him that he should buy a package deal of 3 fraxels 3 facials 1 botox 1 juvederm 1 restylane and he told her he will have any injectables and she said this package will save you money and you can switch out the injectables for extra fraxel or facials and he aggreed. He recieved his first fraxel the next saturday.When I saw him he had red and white blotches all over his face and he said that it would go down in a week so we waited. His skin began to clear up and it started to look smooth and plastic and I asked him if had a Botox injection and he said he would never do that so i dropped the question and we went on with our life. He went back 2 weeks later and recieved his first facial and his skin began to peel away the dead layers. He looked very smooth and almost plastic and again I asked him if he had a Botox injection and he replied no no no I will not do that ever. After the facial we began to notice that the fraxel had caused his eye area to wrinkle much more than before and he was very unhappy with what he was seeing. He went in for a checkup and she said that she could help those wrinkles with a Botox injection and he was so unhappy and imbarresed that he reluctantly aggreed to have injections. She pursueded him just a little just to try it.She didn't warn him of the risks associated or did she even go into that it is only FDA approved for the Gabrielle lines (FDA's WEBSITE www.FDA.gov) I returned home on monday after his injections and I asked him what had happened it looked like he had aged 10 years his eyes were swollen and puffy his forehead looked plastic and shiney and his crowsfeet had became so pronounced that they looked like waffles. He had needle marks all over his face. His forehead wrinkles on the left side were gone and the right side were still there he almost looked clownlike. This doctor doesn't have your best interest at heart she plays a good game. He said she coearsed him into the injectables and he was imbarresed to tell me. Now that I showed him the risks from the FDA's website he said he would have never had it done if she would have told him. I met with Dr atkins and she told me that it isn't FDA approved except the Gabrielle lines however doctors use medicines in different ways. I feel that it is the responsibilty of the doctor to tell you if your going to be a part of test group.She also forgot to check his chart and see that he had history of strokes in his family and Botox should not be used in that case. She put his life at risk. Beware of this doctor she is only out for your money. I went to her office and met with her about my concernes and she tried to smooth it over with me however i see right through her fake smile. I overheard he say that she needed a new grill and in her next comment she said i guess i will have to do an extra fraxel today... She also told me she hired a bunch of mexicans to finish her office because they were cheaper and you sure can see it in the quality of the finish in there. Don't forget to look at the wrinkly carpet in the hall that shows me she is cheap and I wouldn't be suprised if she doesn't reuse Botox needles just to save a buck...

DO YOU REALLY WANT TO LOOK LIKE A FROZEN PLASTIC DOLL SHE SURE DOES DONT GO THERE YOU WILL REGRET IT. I SAVED MY PARTNER FROM HER AND I HOPE THIS LETTER SAVES YOU TOO.

Full story with spell check when I wrote the first report I hadn't slept in days I was so upset with the results and I was worried about his health.

AUTHOR: Kevin - roswell (U.S.A.)

On December 15th I gave my partner a referrel to a new doctor that my friend had used. (she stopped using her also she wasn't happy with the results). On December 20th he went to Dr. Atkins for a consult and she convinced him to buy a package deal for $2,610.00 which included 3 Fraxel, 3 Facials, 1 Botox, 1 Juvederm, 1 Restalyn. He told her that he wasn't going to have any injections and she said he could trade the injectables for extra services(This package will save you money and you can switch them out for Fraxel or Facials ) He agreed and he set up his first appointment for a Fraxel. He recieved his first Fraxel the next Saturday when I saw him he had red and white blotches all over his face. He said don't worry it will go away in a week or so. His face began to clear up 6 days later and it looked smooth and plastic I asked him if he had a Botox injection and he said he never would so I dropped the Question. ( He and I have been together for 8 years and he never once has lied to me). He went back 2 weeks later and had a facial and he told me they had to use a less harsh chemical before the facial since he has very sensitve skin. His skin began to peel away and it began to look very plastic and shiny I again asked him if he had Botox and he again replied no no no I will never do that. After the facial we began to notice that the fraxel had caused the eye area to wrinkle more than before and we were very concerned. He went in for a checkup and her staff told him that they could take care of the wrinkles around his eyes with a Botox injection. He was so imbaressed about how he looked that he would almost try anything to fix his face. He was handed a small computer to sign and no further information was given. He was not warned about possible side effects or risks he was also not informed that she was using the Botox in a non-Fda approved way. He said he would never have even considered the injections if he had known that. Dr. Atkins didn't tell him that it was only approved for the Glabella lines. (per the FDA's website.) When I returned home on Monday after his injections he looked as though he had aged 10 years his face had dropped and his forehead was smooth and plastic looking his eyes were swollen and puffy even his neck area had dropped I feel that he suffered a slight facial palsy. I was devistated he looked horrible and I couldn't say anything about it I was afraid I would hurt his feelings. I held out until friday and I decided to call Dr. Atkins office and ask if he had Botox and Kim said yes. I called him and he confessed to me only after I told him I got the information directly from Kim. Dr. Atkins told me that if she had known that he had stroke history in his family and also he almost always avoids anything unhealthy and eats almost all organic foods that she would never have performed the injections. Dr. Atkins personally entered his medical information when he first came into her office so she should have known all of his information. He has been sick for over 2 weeks now and he rubs face and his neck alot due to the pain that I feel is associated with the injections he blames it on stress however he hasn't added any new stresses only those injections. He doesn't want to cause a big deal over this he is not that kind of guy. I could tell he was very upset when he saw the FDA's Wedsite(www.FDA.gov) he cried I have never seen him cry. I feel that people should have all the facts so they can make an informed choice when it comes to there health. He regrets going to Dr. Atkins and now he must live with his messed up face for who knows how long. I spoke to the manufacturer of Botox and they can't even tell me how long it takes for Botox to leave your system if ever. Please do your research and don't risk your health it is not worth it. He and I have agreed that its not worth the risk just take care of the skin you have and just be happy you are not sick or dead.

WHAT DO YOU THINK BOTOX IS MADE FROM?

AUTHOR: Joe - Austin (U.S.A.)

DO SOME RESEARCH AND FIND OUT WHAT BOTOX IS MADE OF AND HOW IT WORKS BEFORE YOU CONSENT TO HAVING THIS STUFF INJECTED INTO YOUR BODY.

YOUR BODY ALWAYS LOOKS LIKE HELL THE DAYS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE TREATMENT, ALMOST ANY COSMETIC SURGERY OR CLINICAL PROCEDURE LIKE THIS ONE.

Health Care Laws Respect Privacy

AUTHOR: botox works - (USA)

It bothers me that a patients privacy is no longer respected.  If your partner is a grown man then he can make a grown up decision about a healthcare provider.  I'm sure his treatment was documented and he signed a consent form stating side effects (this is standard in any medical office) then he knew exactly what he was receiving. It is his right to choose what he wants to inject into his face.  i think he had excellent service and to attack the doctor is just wrong.

Keviv, Will are the frauds!

AUTHOR: samsys - naples (United States of America)

I know both of these "boys" and it is appauling to think that these men continue to go to doctor's office for the sole purpose of getting free injections and treatments.  They use to go to another doctor in the area, along with the so called friend, and when they had to pay for their treatments they started to complain.  After knowing my neighbors for a few years know, this is there motive.  They do not have two nickles to rub together and they use people for what they can get.  Do your research on Kevin Edins and William Jennings, I did.  They move property between the two of them to keep from paying taxes, they have relationships with other men for the sole purpose of defrauding them of their assests.  Yes this is how Kevin got the house in Savannah that he just lost on the steps of the courthouse in Savannah.  Oh yes, Kevin was married to someone, made a child, then turned gay!  Wow, what an example of a psychopath!  Both of these men destroy lives where ever they go, Atlanta, Roswell, Savannah.  I cannot stand back anymore and watch these crazy men destroy another life.  They ask me to go get Botox from Dr. Atkins just so that I could enter a "class action lawsuit."  I went to her office and I got botox and love my result, it was my first time and I like not have those deep lines in my forehead.  No problem.  Kevin and Will are the fraud's and I encourage you not to belive what he wrote.  Also, he told me that he was going to place marks on Will's head to ensure the lawsuit!  I hope this saves you!

No Settlement
