A Godsend

Dr Shanthala Boston Laser Coring Expert MD is the best.

At 55 I noticed the texture of my skin was starting to break down, looking crackled rather than smooth. When I grew up we did not use any sunscreen and I spent my childhood years in the sun every day on a lake, teen years at the beach (with baby oil!), and young adult years in tanning beds (and I am very fair skinned). I have severe sun damage that was starting to show.

For The next 10 years I tried almost everything that was supposed to help rejeuvenate skin (Microneedling, Halo, 1540, Morpheus, Ultherapy, Opus Plasma) but nothing worked. I was completely distraught, self conscious, and affected emotionally. It cut into my "happy".

My dermatologist recommended that I look into Ablative laser. I did some research and consulted with a few physicians. I chose Dr. Shanthala for several reasons:
1.Her Patient Priority - Dr. Shanthala stayed late at work to accommodate me for a consultation. Who does that?! No One else. We spoke for well over an hour (Consultations with other doctors were about 20 minutes). She was honest about expectations and possible outcome. No promises but she gave very informed advice.
2. Her expertise - Clearly she is one of the best and most experienced doctors who does UltraClear laser coring in the Boston area.
3. Her accessibility - Most doctors nowadays communicate through a portal, and then you get a call back from someone else. I have never had a doctor that I can contact directly and get a prompt respose. It's unheard of these days! This is incredibly valuable.
4. The Care - All the points mentioned above are part of her total care. How she cares FOR and ABOUT her patients. I cannot overemphasize the importance of her care.

I am 3 days after my UltraClear Laser Coring and could not be more pleased. I am already feeling my full happy again. I am so grateful and feel very lucky to have found Dr. Shanthala. I wish I had known about her 10 years ago!

Results by Dr. Shanthala MD
Boston
No filters. Consistent lighting and positioning.
🛑 What NOT to do is just as important as knowing what to do.

Grateful to share the journey of a gracious patient who trusted the process and generously gave permission to present her results.

She came in with three very specific concerns:

1. Nasolabial folds
Her question: “Can we put filler here?”
🛑🚫 NO — strongly discouraged. This would have added heaviness and disrupted her natural facial balance.

2. Under-eye bags
Her question: “Can we fill the under-eye area?”
🛑🚫 NO — not appropriate here. This is often surgical, and filler in this area could worsen the appearance.

3. Early jowling & marionette lines
Her question: “Can we put filler in the marionette or midface?”
🛑🚫 NO — absolutely not. She already had good volume. Adding filler here would create bulk, not lift, and distort her features.

Patients who are new to aesthetics trust you completely—they will do whatever is recommended. That responsibility matters.

What was done instead:
✅ Advanced, fully customized ablative laser resurfacing with tissue coring using a 2910 nm platform

No fillers. No surgery.

Healing followed the expected course—swelling, micro-bleeding, and a structured recovery. She followed every instruction carefully and healed beautifully.

This is her at 2 weeks.

Refreshed. Softer. Balanced. Still completely herself.

Knowing what to do is important.
Knowing what not to do is everything.

“Longevity is not created. It is lived.”

She will be 76 soon.😍💐🎉😘

Full of energy, positive, and always giving.
A woman who has lived with discipline, purpose, and quiet consistency for decades.

How she eats, how she moves, how she cares for herself—this is simply who she is.

I’ve had the privilege of being part of her journey for many years—
not to change her, but to support what she has already built.

This is what longevity truly means.

She is not just my patient—she is a dear friend, and an inspiration to me every single day❤️
