I wouldn't recommend Francine Vagotis. I went to her requesting dermabrasion for acne scars and to make my skin smoother. She said the CO2 laser was much better. I was left without pigment where she'd used the laser and a very noticeable line around my face. When I called for advice and to set up an appt. she wouldn't see me she would only set up an appt. to see the girls at her skin care clinic. When I went to that appt. a staff member told me I looked better than most patients! I demanded to see Vagotis. She came out angry and waved the consent form in front of my face and said don't you remember signing the consent form. This is what you look like after the CO2 laser. She said she could do a chemical peel on my neck to try and match up the color difference of course I'd have to pay. No way would I let her touch me again.
I have been to several doctors and the pigment loss is permanent. And I'm not her first patient this has happened to. I'm don't know why she keeps using the laser when she has so many unhappy patients and disfiguring results. I would check with the MI FOIA, Kent and Ottawa county courts before you make a decision to see her. I would NOT recommend her.
