What is the difference between red light therapy and RF like thermage? Which is more effective?
Difference in Light Energy
Oct 8, 2019
Oct 8, 2019
Great Question and I am sorry no one has answer this yet.
There is a LOT of difference in properties from all sorts of “light” therapy that we use in medicine.
First let’s clarify whether you mean RED light OR INFRARED light. They are not the same thing.
Red light is part of the visible light spectrum and can help with speeding up the healing process and can also help create a healthy environment on the scalp for hair growth or re-growth. It can penetrate to 10 millimeters into…

Could my anti inflammatory cause Radiesse to not generate collagen?
No results from Radiesse

Sep 30, 2019
Hello
I’m sorry no one has answered this yet…. but it is an important question!
Radiesse is a dermal filler, so you should have had SOME results if you had 8 syringes placed in your face! That said, it does depend on where the product was placed…. I get better longevity with Radiesse when I use it as a product that I put right down on bone as a scaffold. Even if placed intradermal you should have had some benefits. All fillers breakdown in a…

What can I do about these eye wrinkles?
Eye wrinkles

First of all – congratulations on being a new mother!
There are many options for treating these lines from medical grade skin care products [which you can start while breastfeeding] neuromodulators like botox, laser treatments and PDO threads.
I would start with appropriate skincare as that is the foundation of everything beauty. Then depending on your budget and goals I would do a little botox and then I would place PDO threads along the wrinkled area. The threads are…

How do I know if the Venus Legacy treatment is being performed correctly?

I’m sorry no-one answered this question yet!
I personally would not go to a medical spa or medical office that didn’t assign one tech for all of my treatments. As you can see, techniques vary dramatically, so having a consistent tech is important.
As for which of the above is the “correct” technique. We always cleans the skin prior to all of our treatments, including Legacy. The hand piece should fit the face and the treatment should be tolerable. Too much heat theoretically may cause fat…

Redness from Venus legacy

I’m sorry no-one has answered this question!
Photos would have been helpful. Redness and the sensation of heat can be normal for hours after a treatment if you are very fair. I am assuming the treatment was comfortable throughout.
Normally we push the temperature to the threshold of uncomfortable and then we back off the temperature so it is comfortable. If this is what the provider did, then it should have resolved by morning.

Is swelling after Artefille injection near tear troughs and under eyes normal?
Swelling after Injections
Aug 30, 2019
Aug 30, 2019
Great Question!
I’m sorry no one has answered this question yet. By now you will know that redness and swelling after any injections is completely normal. For most people this lasts anywhere from 3-7 days but I have had patients who have swelling as late as 4 weeks.
That said, if the redness gets worse, OR if it becomes HOT and it progresses to other areas, then you may have an infection. If that occurs, call the doctor or nurse who injected you and ask to be seen.
Hope this is…

Knowing what someone used in your treatment.

Aug 30, 2019
Great Question!
The best way to know for sure what is used in your face is to ask for your medical records and make sure they list the product and the lot # and expiration date.
Artefill [now called Bellafill] is a permanent filler and stays where it is injected for YEARS! Use of a cannula doesn’t change this. That said, the way it works is that in the first month your body will absorb the bovine [cow] collagen that surrounds the PMMA particles, so it will “look” like it has gone…
