Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I have PIH on my breasts from scratching when I was in my teens, any suggestions on how I can get rid of
I would start with glycolic acid and hydroquinone, but some procedures could also be needed
Feb 23, 2020
I would start with glycolic acid and hydroquinone, but some procedures could also be needed. Chemical peels and possibly fractional ablative laser may be required as well. See your board-certified dermatologist for appropriate in person guidance.
What happens to nearby veins or organs during the CoolSculpting process?
Coolsculpting selectively targets the fat!
Feb 23, 2020
Coolsculpting selectively targets the fat that is “pinched up” into the applicator. Organs cannot be “pinched up” into the applicator, so they are unaffected. The temperature/ time required for coolsculpting success selectively targets fat and is not cold or long enough to destroy the veins.
Does the amount of neurotoxin necessary lessen over time?
Everyone is different!
Feb 23, 2020
Some patients who are very consistent in their Botox injections will not require as much Botox over time due to the muscle atrophy. Other patients may experience dose-creep over time due to autoantibodies. In the second scenario, they require higher and higher doses to get the same effect and these same patients may require more frequent injections as well. Everyone is different. You can ask your doctor to try to lower your doses and see if you get the…
Is there a vegan alternative to Botox? Something that doesn’t currently test on animals and doesn’t use
No vegan neurotoxin, but alternative procedures can be useful
Feb 23, 2020
THere is not vegan neurotoxin, but in it’s place we sometimes use ThermiSmooth treatments. This radiofrequency device is painless and can achieve the goals through a mechanism that would likely be acceptable to your belief system.
I’m getting filler in my cleft chin. Which one has produced the best results?
I really like your chin as it is!
Feb 23, 2020
I think you have a very cute chin as it is, but if you want to modify it, I think that Juvederm Voluma will offer the structure and longevity that will make it worth it.
How can this “Bulldog” look be corrected?
To correct this “bulldog look”, the full face must be addressed.
Feb 23, 2020
I think the main issue is that your complete face was not addressed. I think some Juvederm Vouma in the upper cheek areas and some Juvederm Ultra Plus in the chin would really go a long way to restore a nice balance in your face. I don’t think you actually have bad filler placement, I just think something more needs to be done to enhance your look- when this is done, you will look balanced and more beautiful. I think that you will need at least 3-4…
Hyperhidrosis: Botox did not work for me. Does this mean I am not a good candidate for iontophoresis or
There are multiple options starting with higher doses of botox
Feb 23, 2020
In my experience a higher BOTOX dose may be required in an individual patient. So try an increased dose first, but if that is not effective enough, then consider the oral prescription drug called Robinul which can simultaneously treat both areas. I don’t recommend iontophereseis very often anymore, but it can be helpful. Miradry is very effective for the underarm sweating, but is not available for the hand sweating.
