Oakland MiXto Laser doctors

When you say you have "sensitive skin", can you tell me if you have been evaluated by a Dermatologist? Sensitive skin can mean anything from being prone to allergic skin reactions, rosacea, eczema, seborrehic dermatitis, etc. It is important to figure out why your skin is red first.

I think Mixto has been wonderful for the treatment of "sad eyes" when they are due to fine wrinkles around the eye area. Mixto is also a great treatment for overall wrinkles and fine lines as well as brown spots (sun freckles). In my experience, it does not make redness from any of the conditions above go away.

There are other lasers that can be used to effectively treat rosacea, and there are topical medications that can be used to effectively treat other skin "red" conditions.

Mixto is a very safe treatment when done correctly for your condition. It can improve acne scarring and improve the "pebbly" texture of your skin. However, I would make sure that your acne is under good control before doing the treatment. You don't want to spend time and money improving your skin only to have new acne lesions cause scarring again. During the healing phase, many doctors will have you use a thick ointment or cream to the face, and these occlusive products can cause new acne breakouts.

I often continue all acne medications up to the day of Mixto treatment, then discontinue it during the healing phase. I would check with your doctor about continuing differin. In some cases, retinoids should be stopped 1 week prior to laser treatments.
