Satisfaction Beyond Expectations For Mommy Monica

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sometimes LASIK can surprise patients, too.

Monica Mercado, a mother who struggled with poor vision, was amused that her LASIK at Shinagawa far exceeded her expectations.

“LASIK gave me 20/16 vision, and it’s more than what I asked for!” said Monica, talking about her beyond-perfect vision.

She then shared how much of a challenge having a poor vision was.

“Being a mom with poor eyesight wasn’t easy. I’ve been wearing contacts and eyeglasses for 13 years! I can’t even use my phone if I’m not wearing those.”

“I thought that I will not be qualified for Lasik due to high grade. But because of modern and most advanced equipment, Shinagawa made it possible! I had my Z Prime LASIK!”

Aside from that, she also shared the royal treatment she received during her LASIK experience at Shinagawa.

“They treated me like a VIP from inquiring, consultations, and treated me like a baby on the operation day. Hassle-free! They even gave me free Hotel accommodation. Isn’t it amazing?”

“Thank you, Shinagawa for a life-changing experience!”

Here’s Why You Should Consider Having LASIK | Shinagawa Blog

Here’s Why You Should Consider Having LASIK

/0 Comments/in , /by

There’s a reason why millions of people have chosen to pursue refractive surgery (surgical procedures that correct common vision problems) versus the more conventional means of correcting vision, like glasses or contact lenses.

Upon first becoming widely available, people were blown away by the possibility of getting rid of their glasses with help from a laser.

In fact, LASIK is deemed as the “most popular vision correction procedure.” And it’s easy to see why LASIK is widely considered to be one of the safest elective procedures in modern medicine.

From surgeon experience to advancements in medical technology, vision correction procedures have only improved. What’s more, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention reported that those who wear contact lenses are 500 times more susceptible to infection than with LASIK.

Patient Satisfaction

Patient satisfaction is at an all-time high. The most recent studies showed that over 98% of patients are totally satisfied with the outcome of their procedure. Compare this to the satisfaction rate in contact lens users, which has plunged in recent years.

Surgery touch-ups

It’s important to know that should your vision change in the years after surgery, you might be eligible for a touch-up, or enhancement surgery. Regression is unlikely, but sometimes vision can change simply due to age-related conditions like presbyopia. At Shinagawa, we offer enhancement plans in the unlikely event that you need a LASIK touch‑up.

Types Of Scars | Shinagawa Blog

Types Of Scars

/0 Comments/in /by

Ideal scarring is minimal and light, but scars can take a variety of forms.

Here are the different forms of scars:

Atrophic scars: These indented scars, as acne or chickenpox, happen when the skin can’t regenerate enough collagen to replace the original tissue.

Hypertrophic scars: These scars are thick, raised, and often reddish, appearing within the bounds of the original injury.

Keloid scars: Keloid scars are thick, raised scars that extend beyond the original injury; they’re created when the skin makes too much collagen in trying to repair itself. Some people are genetically predisposed to keloid scars, and they’re more common among Black people than other populations.

Have some nasty scars on your body? Advanced treatments such as RevLite SI and Fractional can take care of your scars.
