i want to hve facial treatment for ance.
i read a lot here about Dr Nathan.
anyone here hd an experience receiving treatment there?
how the result and budget range?

I am one of his patient here, took 6 months of ro-accutane as I took 2 years of antibiotic before and it come back 6 months after. Just stop ro accutane but still on antibiotic.

His consultation fees is among the cheapest, RM40, but you have to go back every MONTH, not like other which you see the 1st and second time n take the medicine until you finish the program.

Prepare RM500-600 every month if you are going to take ro accutance.

how's the result now?
are u satisfied?

i read about laser treatment too.
hv u try dat

Result is expectedly good, the problem is how long will it last and how the doctor help me to maintain it.

He will determine if you need laser treatment or not, before laser treatment, you must clear your face, so he will know if you need to do laser or not after your face is clear of acne.

whats ro-accutane actually?

It's a kind of medicine for acne skin. At the begining, the doctor will see how serious is your situation, they will use anti biotic on you 1st, mostly it works, but when you stop taking it, your face will become like before in 6 months time like in my case for twice. So the doctor ask me to try ro accutane, it is the last resort, no choice, rm7 per pill, normal people take 1 pill per day, but I am very big in size, so I have to take 2 pills instead, he gave me discount, rm5 per discount. but still, every month rm500+++. Taken 6 months with expectedly good result, but don't know how long can it last. The doctor said, 99% will cure my skin, at least 1 year + if not permanent.

Haiz, no choice, my face skin was really terrible which greatly affect my lifestyle. Now I gain back my confidence and can approach people easily.

thanks for your explaination ther.
but how long we must take dat pill.?
and what will happen if we stop using it

Possibly all your life.



you will get your old skin back.

It is the last choice if any other things also cannot help you, I took 6 months, doctor said, the most a person can take is 1 year.

For 6 months, I already cannot tahan, lips very dry, have to apply lip balm every hour. Eyes very dry, dry until you keep on rubbing it, so I now ended up having light astigmenism!

So beware of this medicine, but if ur face is really very serious, take it then, it;s better then you don't have life with face full of acne.

Doctor said 99% will cure, or at least last for 1 year. If it still cannot cure it, then no other choice ad.

yeah that medicine sucks. every time i smiled my lips cracked before hahahah.

nathan is ok i guess. he is the cheaper of the private doctors. i met a doc from GH (one of my neighbors) he said GH got some technology for laser treatment that even nathan dont have i wanted to go but the doc retired already. hahaha. but you need a letter from doctor before you can go to GH specialist. i think GH will be even cheaper.

wow, that kind of facial really costs a bomb man.

ro-accutane worked for me. I had the antibiotic for 2 months, and i can see it is a crap (dont work for me). I straight away request for ro-accutane, once and for all, if it dont work for me, then i have to live with it. But after i took it for 5~6 months (i cant really remember, all i know is half the package). My skin already near 100% perfect condition (not oily, no black head, whatsoever, except the dry lips, and eyes, but the eyes only for the initial stage about 1 or 2 months, after that body get used to it). I stopped half way because my skin already total clean up for 3 or 4 months, and every month i need to spend rm300~350 for it. Until now, i need to control of hygiene, and diet to avoid major out break. Sometimes still cannot avoid minor pimple (1 or 2) due to stress and diet.

this accutane thing surely gonna make me suffer.
dry lips n dry eyes
can't tahan..

Yup it's in wisma PKNS, next to the DBKL office

you've been there b4?

anyone can help with the full address, thx in advance!!

i'm have been taking this accutane for almost 3 months now. thx god, less acne popped out now but then another problem surfaced is the scars / marks are still there. Dr nathan said during the treatment, cannot apply anything to the face except his cream n lotion. This really make me stress out as CNY is coming, i wonder can i use foundation to cover my scars?? will it make it worst???

Wow ! 6 months of ro accutance regime --- would there be any side effect??

try out a light therapy with ro accutane. light therapy shine red & IR light onto the face and kill the bacteria faster. this way acne reduce much faster with a combi of drugs.

Read my experience

http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1274178&hl=

hi. i took Oratane 10mg from Dr Ting in Jalan Imbi and it's reasonably priced n effective. The acne medication is from this New Zealand manufactured brand Douglas Pharmaceutical. Searched their website and it produced wide range of medications.

if i want a collagen Jab how much? i am reaching 30 now and due of a collagen.

Nathan is pretty good. Gave me couple months worth accutane and got cleared up (beware of the sides tho). Ranjit is better i think but doesnt really speak intelligibly.
