I’ve had a long skincare journey since my 20s. As a Chinese American woman, I went to many community dermatologists over the years — Dr. Cui, Dr. Kang, Dr. Wang — and I was almost always placed on 40 mg of Accutane. I also did regular facials. It took me a long time to realize that the Accutane actually made my melasma more reactive to sunlight, but none of the providers I saw, whether in New York or even the plastic surgeon I visited in Taipei, explained that to me.
When I went to Taiwan, the surgeon simply injected two fillers and sent me on my way. Later, I tried RIKO in New York City, the trendy Korean medical spa. They took photos and gave me a “diagnosis,” but the nurse practitioner didn’t explain much. It felt more like negotiating package deals than receiving real guidance. I ended up doing five sessions of PicoSure and Genesis, but the results didn’t last, and they kept encouraging me to continue buying packages — especially if I paid cash. They emphasized light treatments but didn’t address the deeper issues. RIKO offers many services, but I realized I needed someone with real expertise in skin trauma and pigmentation.
That’s when I found Little Laser Clinic in Long Island City. I actually discovered it because City Councilwoman Julie Won follows them — so I decided to check them out too.
The clinic is small, but incredibly clean. The bathroom is spotless, the entire space smells fresh and disinfected, and it feels like a true medical environment — not a spa trying to sell packages.
On 4/30/26, I had my first full consultation. Christine, the PA, has real experience with skin trauma, and she finally explained the true cause of my melasma. For the first time, I felt like someone understood my skin. At 52, I decided it was time to invest in myself — to stay healthy, youthful, and confident.
That day, I underwent a full treatment plan. Christine and her wonderful staff, Genna and Kemberly, prepped me with a medical‑grade cleanser and gave me oral CBD to help me stay calm. They applied a strong numbing cream that worked immediately. Christine performed the procedures with real skill, and her assistant used air pressure to keep me comfortable throughout.
I had:
✔ LaseMD Ultra
✔ Lentigo laser
✔ DPN removal
✔ Rejuran
That was my reset.
Today, on 5/27/26, I returned for follow‑up and refinement. I chose:
✔ Full‑face XERF
✔ Additional DPN removal
This was my tightening + refinement phase — with no needles, no filler, and no downtime, just like I wanted.
My next step will be Rejuran delivered through a new no‑downtime device once the clinic receives it. That will be my maintenance + glow phase.
This sequence keeps me looking:
Fresh
Natural
Youthful
Smooth
Not swollen
Not overdone
I’ve been very clear about my preferences:
No filler
No needles
No swelling
No downtime
I want to look good every day
I want to maintain my results naturally
The upcoming no‑downtime Rejuran device is the perfect match for me. It supports:
✔ Glow
✔ Elasticity
✔ Fine‑line softening
✔ Skin barrier health
✔ Collagen stimulation
✔ Zero downtime
✔ Zero swelling
✔ Zero bruising
This is my “maintenance phase,” not another big healing phase.
And the best part is: I don’t need to rush anything. I’ve already healed beautifully, avoided filler, stayed natural, and chosen treatments that fit my comfort level. Now I’m simply continuing a plan that keeps my skin improving without stress — aging slowly, gracefully, and confidently.
Please speak to Christine directly and don't be shy what you are looking for.
She has the skill as a skin trauma and you really want to know how to protect your skin. I endorse this clinic and please stay tune with PART II XERF.
