Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Deep under eye wrinkles at age 26. Is there a way to eliminate or reduce the look of these wrinkle
Multiple Options
Dec 8, 2018
The most effective method of addressing your undereyes would be with a tear trough filler. By filling the hollow areas of volume loss under the eyes you will notice that the area will smooth out in general. If you are not interested in fillers the Secret RF is a microneedling laser that utilizes radio frequency and can be used directly under the eye to stimulate collagen production and treat these early signs of aging as well.
I have rosacea, acne scarring, fine lines starting to appear, and enlarges pores. Should I get Las
Laser Genesis and IPL combination treatment
Sep 7, 2018
We regularly do IPL and Laser Genesis treatments during the same visit for patients with similar skin concerns as what you've listed. The redness and pore size are both addressed by Laser Genesis very effectively, targeted IPL will treat sun damage (even some you might not see!) and help with overall tightening. Laser Genesis is also great for sensitive skin as it's a gentle laser compared to some other treatments on the market. I would talk to your provider about...
Looking for laser surgeon in Southern California experienced with African American skin
African American Skin Care
Sep 6, 2018
Your specific skin type does need to be treated with caution. Thankfully I've had success treating African American skin with various laser treatments such as the Secret RF by Cutera. I recommend researching the provider you choose carefully and wish you the best of luck!
Should I try a Chemical peel or Laser Resurfacing for uneven skin tone and under eye wrinkles? (Ph
Skin Resurfacing
Sep 6, 2018
I would recommend an IPL laser to address the discoloration and hyperpigmentation, and a separate treatment for your under eye wrinkles. Laser resurfacing will likely provide you with more drastic results than a chemical peel in general, but another option to research would be microneedling with radio frequency. This would differ from your first microneedling procedures because a device like the Secret RF emits controlled radio frequency to the targeted areas while the needles are...
What ablative laser resurfacing options are available in 2018?
Pearl Fractional
Sep 6, 2018
I agree with the above answers- but would like to add the Pearl and Pearl Fractional lasers as alternative ablative treatments as well. I've seen great results from these particular lasers and a reduction in downtime with Pearl Fractional as it leaves pre determined portions of the skin in tact.
Skin resurfacing and scar removal on other parts of the body (arms and backside)?
Resurfacing other areas of the body
Sep 6, 2018
You can absolutely resurface other areas of the body besides the face! It just so happens that patients are often most concerned with preserving their face but there is no reason that treatments such as chemical peels, microneedling with radio frequency, IPL, laser genesis etc can't be done on your arms, legs or backside. Based on your photos, I would recommend looking into laser genesis to address the redness that's present in many of your scars- but I scheduling an appointment...
If one were to get a Laser Genesis treatment, is it safe to have a micro-needling treatment 2 week
Microneedling and Laser Genesis
Sep 6, 2018
Great question! Laser genesis is a gentle treatment, I wouldn't see any issues with having microneedling and laser genesis performed within 2 weeks of each other.
Can I please get advice on how to fix my face after 1 Laser Genesis session for anti aging? (photo
Laser Genesis Results
Sep 6, 2018
The results you're describing are not typical of a laser genesis treatment, and don't align with anything I've seen in my office. The procedure is a very gentle one, and typically it takes multiple sessions to see results, making the skin laxity you mention even more puzzling. Did your provider take before and after photos that you could compare to? If you are concerned by the nasolabial folds around your mouth I would recommend a dermal filler, but I'd be curious to know if the...
Would a mid facelift help me at 38?
Mid Face Lift & Alternatives
Sep 6, 2018
If you're looking to address skin laxity, a mid face lift may be a great option. However after reviewing your photos I think you would be an ideal candidate for a few options that don't involve surgery. Sculptra is an injectable that stimulates your body's collagen production and will drastically help in volumizing your face and adding some of the youthful fullness you're after. A liquid facelift would also help add volume to the areas you've lost it. If you're looking to undergo surgery I...
Laser Genesis time space after one treatment?
2 week standard
Sep 6, 2018
Laser Genesis is typically spaced 2 weeks apart. As an absolute MINIMUM I would do at least 1 week between treatments. Skincare is a marathon not a sprint- no need to rush!
What are some ways you can get rid of chin fat or a ‘double chin’? Both surgical and non-surgical?
Kybella for submental fullness
Sep 6, 2018
Other than surgery, Kybella is one of my favorite options for treating excess fat in the submental area. The number of vials and treatments you will need depends on the amount of fat we are addressing. Kybella results are permanent and patients experience very little downtime following the procedure.
Recently I had IPL and it was so painful I couldn’t complete the session. Is this typical?
IPL pain level
Sep 6, 2018
While everyone's pain tolerance differs; IPL treatments should not cause that much discomfort and are typically very tolerable procedures. Did your provider apply a topical numbing cream prior to your treatment such as lidocaine? Were you using any retinol products before your appointment? I would expect a slight level of discomfort but nothing that is close to unbearable.
Laser genesis for acne scars?
Pre Genesis Prep
Sep 6, 2018
I would avoid using hydroquinone or any retinol products 1 week before your treatment. Microneedling with radio frequency would also be a great option for some of your deeper acne scars- I would ask your provider what they recommend based on your specific goals!
Which is better for large pores, sun damage and wrinkles Laser Genesis or the Halo?
Combination approach
Sep 6, 2018
I would suggest a multi-pronged approach for your skin concerns. While partial to Laser Genesis for issues such as lines/wrinkles and large pores, adding in treatments such as microneedling with radio frequency or IPL will really help check off all of the different concerns you mention above. Remember, skincare is a marathon not a sprint!
Do I need to wait exactly two weeks before my next laser genesis? Is it too soon to get another af
Time between laser genesis txs
Sep 6, 2018
I generally have my patients space out their laser genesis appointments every 2 weeks as well, however because the procedure is rather mild I wouldn't worry about not being exact on the timing. I've had patients come in for a second treatment as soon as 7 days after their first with no negative effects. It all depends on what exactly you're treating and what your personalized plan is!
