What should I do as I’m sadly not getting the results I want from Yag laser?
Laser Hair Removal Depends on Wavelength and Settings
Sep 14, 2018
The brand of laser is not the only factor in determining the success of laser hair removal.
Laser hair removal is something that requires an experienced technician most importantly. I have seen consistent results with Alex, Diode and Yag lasers (755, 810and 1064 nm respectively). Selecting the correct wavelength and energy (or fluence) depends on several factors. The quality (ie coarse or thin), color of hair, skin color of the patient and bronzing/tanning of…
Is it safe to have a hydra facial (that includes a peel), on the same day that I have micro-needlin
Hydrafacial + Microneedling
Aug 21, 2018
Combination therapy many times leads to improved results. In regards to combining Hydrafacial and microneedling at the same session, this could be true if the indication is collagen induction plus clarity of skin (for example acne and acne scarring together). However, if you are doing Hydrafacial and microneedling to better control acne and/or for clearer skin, I would suggest alternating and doing them separately to enjoy longer lasting results. Microneedling can…
Does Fraxel (non-ablative) cause or help hyperpigmentation?
Fraxel
May 18, 2018
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is defined as brown or dark spots, however if your scars are purple and red, you likely have post-inflammatory erythema. This is an important distinction a cosmetic dermatologist would need to make in order to select the appropriate laser therapy. Fraxel Dual can be a very successful treatment for pigmentation and brown spots. Other lasers are better suited for red or purple discoloration.
As far as hyperpigmentation after…
Best Wrinkle Filler
Vollure for marionettes
Jun 20, 2017
Vollure is the latest of the Juvederm family of fillers and is lovely for improvement of the marionette area of the face. The filler is supportive yet soft in order to allow for natural facial expressions. It lasts 18 months which is more than the other standard hyaluronic products used in this region. An experienced injector would address your concerns and guide you as to how to achieve your goals which likely would include more than one type of filler.
Good luck!
Tear trough filler question
Tear trough
Jun 20, 2017
My preferred technique is also injections of a soft hyaluronic filler such as Belotero directly onto the orbital bone. The skin under the eyes is thin and unforgiving. Lumps and bumps can be visible if the product is not placed deeply in this region. I also educate my patients that tear troughs deformities sometimes can not properly be fully addressed without injecting the mid face and cheeks with filler as well. Patients may come in pointing to their under eye…
What would be the laser of choice for my hair removal case (Cutera Xeo OR Alexandrite Laser by Cand
Xeo Cutera
Jun 20, 2017
The Xeo Cutera has been extremely reliable in my practice. It offers the versatility of several different wavelengths (Alex, Diode and Nd:Yag) depending on skin type and hair color. The laser automatically suggests a certain energy based on several factors, but an experienced practitioner should not follow these settings blindly in order to make sure patients get results without the risk of side effects. Risks of using the wrong laser hair removal settings include burns,…
Does Laser Genesis Work to Get Rid of Acne?
Laser Genesis for Acne
Mar 21, 2017
Laser Genesis targets redness and mild pigmentation left from active acne. It is best to use to heal red marks left behind from acne as well as to help treat active inflammatory acne. Since acne is typically a chronic condition, laser genesis will have the most benefit for someone undergoing medical treatment (cream and/or pills). There is no downtime and the laser is very safe when used by an experienced practitioner. I have seen some amazing results even with one treatment…
