Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Coolsculpting vs Vanquish?
Coolsculpting vs vanquish
Jul 13, 2015
Coolsculpting and Vanquish are two of the noninvasive procedures available for fat reduction. Each patient needs an individual evaluation to determine which is best for them and some patients are candidates for both. In general, vanquish is better for treating a larger amount of the core at one time, while coolsculpting is better for small discrete pockets of fat.
I just had Juvederm Voluma. I notice some bruising. Will the ice affect the Voluma that was just injecte
Ice for Bruising after Voluma and Juvederm
Jun 28, 2015
After an injectable procedure with filler such as Voluma, ice can reduce the risk of developing a bruise. In addition, elevating the head while sleeping (sleeping in a recliner or with a few extra pillows) will decrease swelling by minimizing the effect of gravity.
Would I need to have the skin tightened after CoolSculpting under chin?
Skin tightening after cool sculpting under the chin
Jun 28, 2015
Coolsculpting for submental fat (double chin, fat under the chin) can reduce the fat pad but is not design to tighten skin. However, given the gradual nature of the fat removal over the 3 months following cool sculpting, the skin does typically tighten. If there is still some laxity, a tightening procedure with radio frequency can be used.
What do I do about lines under and around my eyes in my 20s?
Treatment for lines around the eyes in your 20s
Jan 20, 2014
The fine lines oor crow’s feet in your picture typically appear in the late 20s or early 30s. From your photo, it does not appear you are prematurely aging. Treatmetn with Botox is the best way to slow down the development of fine lines and is preventative if started at the first signs of fine lines. Your lines are most likely related to sun exposure. I recommend using daily sunscreen and sun proctive measures whenever possible.
Is It True That Fillers Won’t Work on my Fine Lines?
Fine lines can be treated with a combination of botox or dysport and fillers
Jan 20, 2014
Fine lines on the forehead are best treated with a neuromodulator such as Botox or Dysport. If the upper eyelids are heavy, the treatment needs to be lighter to avoid a “heavy brow.” The remaining fine lines can be treated with superficial fillers, such as belotero or juvederm ultra mixed with lidocaine. A combination of fillers and neuromodulators can be the best approach for many areas of the face.
Active FX and Sculptra Compatible?
Total FX and Sculptra can work together for fine and deep lines
Jan 20, 2014
Total FX and Sculptra are both procedures which cause collagen regeneration. Sculptra will work to replace volume and diminish the lines around the eyes caused by loss of tissue in the cheekbones and temples. Total FX will also help diminish these lines by smoothing the surface. Regardless of which procedure you begin with, I would wait at least 2 weeks between the treatments. I prefer to begin with the laser andthen add the filler. Good luck!
I want to have fraxel laser and ultrapaulse fractional co2 laser deep fx & active fx?
Active FX and Deep FX for deep lines
Jan 20, 2014
If you are planning to have a fractionated CO2 laser such as ultrapulse ( Active FX and Deep FX), you do not also need to have a non-ablative Fraxel. CO2 lasers have more down time but provide greater improvement per treatment. This laser works well for fine lines around the eyes and deeper lines around the mouth. Fraxel would also work well for these areas, but if using the non-ablative wavelengths, it will require multiple treatments to achieve what one ultrapulse can.
I have chicken pox scars on my face. Is it possible to remove them completely?
CO2 laser therapy for chicken pox scars
Jan 20, 2014
CO2 laser can be very effective on chicken pox scars. These are best treated with combination therapy, starting with the Cross method, which is a procedure using TCA to regenerate the collagen in the scar, and then to perform resurfacing laser to smooth the surface. Fractionated CO2 is the safest, most effective treatment for scars. However, it is best used on lighter skin tones because darker skin may loose or gain pigment following the procedure. Good luck with your treatments!
Is the fraxel laser good for under eye wrinkles?
Fraxel laser is good for teeating under eye wrinkles
Jan 20, 2014
I love using Fraxel for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. In addition, as the collagen regenerates, tightening in the eyelids can occur. With the use of intraoccular eyeshileds, it is safe to treat the entire eyelids. The more treatments of Fraxel you receive, the better the result. However, the results begin to plateau for fine lines after about the 4th treatment in a one year period. While you will get some additional benefit from a 7th treatment, the law of dimenishing returns…
What is Fraxel Dual?
Fraxel dual benefits over Fraxel restore
Jan 20, 2014
Both the Fraxel dual and the Fraxel restore offer a deeply penetrating non-ablative fractionated wavelength. The dual also has an additional wavelength, 1927, which is more superficial and treats pigmentbas well as superficial fine lines. It is also FDA approved to treat the precancerous lesions actinic keratoses. The dual can be used just to treat deeper fine lines and wrinkles, just the superficial pigment, or both at the same time. It offers the ability to customize a treatment to the…
Is Prednisone safe after fraxel?
Prednisone can be safe after Fraxel
Jan 20, 2014
Taking low doses of prednisone after fraxel laser treatments short term can be safe, and may even be prescribed to reduce swelling immediately after the procedure. Long term high dose steroids should be avoided becuause they reduce the healing process. The dose you have been prescribed should not impeed the healing from your treatment. Good luck!
Restylane for Filling Tear Trough and Lessening Bags?
Restylane for tear troughs
Jan 20, 2014
Restylane can be placed in the hollow ridge under the eyes (tear trough) to improve the appearance of the eyes. It is not a good option for everyone because it can worsen the appearance of bags.
Is Restylane for Under Eyes Safe for Patient with Allergies?
Tear trough filler in a patient with allergies
Jan 20, 2014
The under eye area or tear trough can be filled with Restylane. It is important to be selective with candidates for this filler, because while the filler can cause reflection around the eye to improve and make the eyes appear younger, it can also bring in unwanted water causing swelling. I discourage my patients with bags from proceding with tear trough injections for this reason, and if you experience bags with your allergies, I would suggest you avoid additional volume in this area.
What are my options for restylane ridges under eyes?
Restylane ridging after under eye injection
Jan 20, 2014
Restylane is a hyaluronic acid filler which can be dissolved with hyaluronidase. Anytime there is an undesired result with an HA filler, it can be reversed within about 24 hours and then touched up one week later.
Can Sculptra be used after only 5 minutes of being reconstituted?
Sculptra needs to be reconstituted one day prior to injection
Jan 20, 2014
Sculptra is injected in the form of a suspension. If it does not hydrate properly, it is more likely to cause nodules in the skin. I recommend it be reconstituted at least 24 hours prior to its use, and to be warmed prior to injection. In my practice, we typically have sculpa reconstituted for 2-7 days prior to injection.
