Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can the VBeam Improve Skin Texture?
VBeam best for redness but can improve skin texture
Feb 21, 2012
VBeam laser treatments are best for treating red lesions (broken blood vessels, scars, rosacea). But a nice side effect of treatment is improvement in skin texture. If you want to specifically target textural irregularities on your skin, fraxel or fractionated CO2 lasers would be more effective.
Swelling and Redness Nearly 1 Week After V Beam, Is This Normal?
Swelling and Redness after VBeam
Feb 21, 2012
Yes, it is possible to have swelling and redness after VBeam laser treatment. The amount of swelling depends on the density of broken blood vessels on your face, your skin's response to the laser and the laser setting on the day of treatment. Cool compresses can help to improve the swelling.
Is It Risky to Stop Fraxel After One Treatment?
Fraxel treatment series can safely be discontinued anytime.
Feb 21, 2012
Fraxel re:store treatments are usually done is a series of treatment, usually 4-6, to optimize results. It is perfectly safe to discontinue your treatment series at any time.
Can Fraxel Laser Be Performed on the Skin with Rosacea?
Fraxel can be preformed on patients with Rosacea
Feb 21, 2012
Fraxel re:store treatment can be used on patients with rosacea. Fraxel re:store treates fine lines/wrinkles and can also improve redness in your skin. If your rosacea flares after your fraxel treatment, your treating physician can treat your rosacea with oral antibiotics.
How Do Dysport and Botox Formulas Differ in Their Effectiveness on Deep Forehead Wrinkles?
Botox = Dysport = Xeomin
Feb 21, 2012
These products all inhibit muscle movement. When dosed correctly, they produce the same clinical effect. In experienced hands they are equivalent.

A side note--if you have deep forehead wrinkles and are over 50 year old (this is over generalized), you want to be careful not to over treat your forehead wrinkles. This could drop the natural arch of your eyebrows and leave you with a heavy look.

Is It Correct to Put Botox Just Behind the Tail of the Eyebrows to Try to Raise Them?
botox can be used to open the eye
Feb 21, 2012
Depending on your anatomy, botox can be used just lateral to the eyebrows and under the center of the eyebrow to lift the eyelids and open the eyes. For the best results, work with a physician who is experienced using botox and has a good working knowledge of the muscles of the face.
Glycolic Vs. Salicylic Acid - Which Peel is Better for Acne?
Salicylic acid better for lighter skin types, Glycolic better for darker skin types
Feb 21, 2012
Generally, I prefer salicylic acid peels for patients with lighter skin types. For patients with darker skin types, who have acne, they usually also want to lighten dark spots left behind from acne spots. Glycolic acid peels are best for patients with darker skin tones, since they even out pigmentation and treat acne.
