Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Would ThermaTight help with smoker lips?
Can ThermiTight treat smokers lines
Apr 23, 2019
Thank you for your question. ThermiTight is used for tightening the tissue in the neck and jawline. Collagen is stimulated and connective tissue is tightened to redefine the neck and jawline. ThermiSmooth is another ThermiRF modality that can be sued to smooth and soften perioral / periorbital lines.
With your implanted devices you would not be a good candidate for radio frequency treatments. You could consider Fraxel Re:Pair 135 for resurfacing around the mouth. Another option...
Will Botox results in my face be ruined by a deep tissue massage in my neck and throat 4 days afte
Can Botox migrate after 4 days?
Apr 23, 2019
Thank you for your question. In our Del Mar Ca. practice we tell patients to remain upright and refrain from rubbing, massaging or manipulating the injected area for 3-4 hours after. Botox will not migrate after four days, so your massage will not affect it.
I got a mole removed. It grew back darker. What can I do?
My mole grew back!
Apr 23, 2019
Thank you for your question. Mole cells go down into the fat layer. Shaving can be a great option for removing an unwanted or unsightly mole, however because of the depth of the cells, they may grow back. Provided the tissue was sent to a pathologist to review and has been deemed benign you can consider having it reduced with a laser such as Fraxel or Smoothbeam. Another option would be to have the residual mole removed with a punch excision and any scar that occurs can be lasered.
What can I take for pain relief 4 days after CoolSculpting?
Pain relief after CoolSculpting
Apr 9, 2019
Thank you for your question. We recommend that you take Tylenol as needed for any post procedure discomfort. Arnica gel, cream or oral tabs may also be used to reduce swelling and bruising.
I had a glycolic peel 2 days ago. And today my face is SO dry and I moisturise everyday. Is it nor
Dryness from a chemical peel
Apr 8, 2019
Thank you for your question. It is quite normal for your skin to get tight and dry following a chemical peel. You want to be sure you are cleansing with a mild, hydrating cleanser and moisturizing throughout the day. Sunscreen is a must! As you begin to peel you are exposing fresh "baby skin" and you want to be sure to protect it from the suns harmful rays.
What are other options to plump cheeks if you are allergic to Juvederm & Restylane?
HA Filler alternatives
Apr 8, 2019
Thank you for your question. If HA fillers are not an option for you then you may want to consider Sculptra for cheek volume. Sculptra is a collagen stimulator that helps your body to re-volumize by stimulating and building your own natural collagen. It works well, and is a long lasting alternative to HA fillers.
SilkPeel during topical acne regimen?
Dermal Infusion (SilkPeel) for acne management and anti-aging.
Mar 13, 2019
Dermal Infusion is an excellent alternative to traditional acne facials that include manual extractions. Dermal Infusion is hydrodermabrasion, a specialty serum geared toward your skin condition is streamed against the skin as suction is applied. Imagine "pressure washing" your skin. All of the impurities, oils and debris that in your pores are purged and your skin will be the cleanest it has ever been! The specialty serums that are infused address acne, pigmentation or parched, dry...
Silk Peel for Treating Acne?
Dermal Infusion for acne
Mar 13, 2019
Dermal Infusion is an excellent treatment for those that are acne prone. Dermal Infusion is hydrodermabrasion, it uses a gentle stream of serum and suction to penetrate the skin, infusing ingredients that will combat acne, brighten your skin and reduce pigmentation. You will also benefit from a deep pore cleansing and increased circulation.
In our Del Mar, CA dermatology practice, our licensed esthetician often alternates Dermal Infusion treatments with Purifying...
Are these reactions to some units likely to occur?
Dysport for facial lines
Mar 13, 2019
Thank you for your question. With Dysport, and Botox, the number of units used to treat facial lines and reduce wrinkles is just a fraction of the amount used to treat medical conditions such as migraines, bladder spasms and hyperhidrosis. It is highly unlikely you would experience any such side effects.
What is the least invasive way to treat neck skin laxity?
Tightening the neck and reducing the appearance of your platysmas neck bands
Mar 11, 2019
Ultherapy is a great option for lifting and tightening your neck skin. Ultherapy uses focused ultrasound to stimulate the production of new collagen while also strengthening and shrinking the fibrous bands that connect your surface skin to the tissue below.
You can also consider having Botox injected into your platysmas neck bands to relax them and reduce their appearance.
Is there any non surgical procedure to treat crepey neck skin and crepey arm skin?
Treatment options for crepey skin
Mar 11, 2019
Thank you for your question. There are several things you can do to address crepey skin and skin laxity. We have found that Ultherapy can smooth, tighten and firm the skin giving it a more youthful and healthier appearance. Ultherapy is one of our favorite procedures in our Del Mar dermatology practice, mainly because of the ability to customize the treatment according to the patient and their individual needs.
For areas of the body such as arms and the anterior thigh above the knee we...
Flap of loose skin under my chin. What can I do about it that won't leave a scar on my neck? (phot
Options for Non-Surgical Neck Lift
Mar 11, 2019
Surgery is always an option to remove any excess skin, or tighten skin laxity. In our Del Mar, CA practice we offer non-invasive, no downtime options to address this type of problem.
ThermiRF, or Thermitight as it is also known, is a procedure that uses a thin Radio frequency probe to deposit heat just below the surface of the skin. This heat causes the connective tissue bands to shrink, and stimulates the production of new collagen. This will lead to skin tightening and...
First time Botox. When the doctor says it lasts 2-3 months for first time pt, does that mean 2-3 m
How long does Botox last
Mar 11, 2019
When you have Botox injected it will reach its peak of effectiveness at one month. That doesn't mean that it stops working, only that at one month you will gradually begin to get movement back. In general most patients will see full movement return at 3-4 months.
How long do the CoolSculpting effects last on the chin and neck, no weight issue, BMI is 21.6?
CoolSculpting CoolMini results are long lasting
Feb 19, 2019
Hello, CoolSculpting treats areas of unwanted fat by literally freezing the fat cells and causing them to degrade and be metabolized by the body. Once you remove those fat cells from a specific area you will never be preferentially heavier in that area again. This is true if your weight is stable. If you were to gain weight it would be more evenly distributed across the body, but you would still see a small increase in the treated area.
Rosacea treatment with V Beam and bruising?
How Vbeam works
Feb 19, 2019
That is an excellent question. The laser energy will be preferentially taken up by the areas where their is more redness. That means that any small red lesions and / or blood vessels are likely to bruise. The surrounding areas that are not so affected will still be treated, there will just be a less vigorous reaction.
