Answer Snippet
How bad the pain is for removal in the rib cage area? Will it leave a lot of scarring?
How Bad Is Tattoo Removal on Rib Cage? PicoWay Pain Controlled During Tattoo Removal
May 23, 2018
Sorry to hear about your tattoo regret. You need to wait for two months before attempting to remove your tattoo, otherwise you could damage your skin. Before your treatment, your dermatologist applies a numbing cream to make your tattoo removal less painful. It’s not a walk in the park, but it’s tolerable. A board-certified dermatologist will be able to remove that tattoo for you using the PicoWay laser.
Pink ink turning brown after laser removal. Is this normal?
Pink Ink Turning Brown With Laser? Light Inks Oxidize Before Laser Removal
May 23, 2018
It’s perfectly normal for a light-colored, white-based tattoo ink — such as pink — to darken before fading. The laser energy oxidizes the white pigment, turning it a brownish color. The laser then targets the brown and removes that, too. This double-step process is why removing light colors takes longer than removing dark colors. A board-certified dermatologist who’s an expert with PicoWay laser tattoo removal will be able to remove all traces of your butterfly.
Can you use less Botox to just weaken muscle instead of completely paralyzing it?
Don’t Paralyze Muscles With Botox? Botox Shouldn’t Paralyze; Keep It Natural
May 23, 2018
I don’t know of any instances in the cosmetic use of Botox where it would be advisable to actually paralyze a muscle. If you did, you’d get that “frozen” look that Botox was infamous for in the early days of the treatment. Instead, your dermatologist gives you just enough to relax the muscle so it doesn’t form wrinkles anymore. Your muscle can move, but can’t contract fully. A board-certified dermatologist will be able to help you get beautiful results from Botox.
Can I get Botox for my nasal tip and flared nostrils?
Can I Get Botox for Nose? Botox Can Relax Look of Nose
May 23, 2018
A board-certified dermatologist will be able to help you get the look you want by using Botox to relax the muscles that are making your nose look elongated and flared when you smile. Your nose should look normal at rest, just as you prefer. Botox lasts about three to four months. Please find an expert dermatologist to reshape your nose with Botox.
Healing process of tattoo that I will be getting removed?
Should I Pick Tattoo to Remove It? Don’t Pick Tattoo! Remove When Healed With PicoWay Laser
May 11, 2018
Absolutely do not pick at your tattoo while it is healing! You could permanently damage your skin. It takes about two months for a fresh tattoo to heal completely. At that point, you can have it removed with the PicoWay laser. It takes about five to eight sessions to remove most tattoos. A board-certified dermatologist will be able to look at your tattoo and estimate how many sessions you need with the PicoWay laser.
What is the best way to remove tattoos?
What Is Best Way to Remove Tattoos? PicoWay Laser Most Effective on Most Tattoo Colors
May 11, 2018
The PicoWay laser is the most effective tattoo-removal system I know of. PicoWay shatters tattoo pigments with super-fast bolts of energy. It can be adjusted to work on all colors, from black to white. Lighter colors may first oxidize and then be removed, which makes treating them a longer process. Within five to 10 treatments, most tattoos are gone for good with PicoWay. A board-certified dermatologist will be able to take a look at your tattoo and estimate how many sessions with...
Help! Lip injections to make my smile appear wider?
Lip Injections to Make Smile Wider? Lip Injections Change Smile Shape
May 11, 2018
You can add volume and shape to your “little old lady lips” using hyaluronic-acid based fillers such as Restylane and Belotero. An expert lip augmenter can completely change the shape of your lips, as well as enlarge them slightly and beautifully. Your smile already looks wide, but you could definitely use more volume — particularly in the top lip. A board-certified dermatologist will work with you to get you as close to your ideal as possible.
