I got dark spots after a Yag laser tightening treatment. I never had dark spots before. Now I have dark areas on my face. Why did this happen and what can I do about it?
The dark spots can be improved dramatically by using a retinoid and hydroquinone. Ask your doctor to prescribe these three to four weeks before your next treatment.
I'm beginning to show signs of Rhinophyma. There are a few nodules on one side of nose and some thickening on tip of nose which I absolutely hate. Which of these two lasers, Erbium Yag or Fraxel, would improve my condition? These two seem, from what I have read, have less downtime than the CO2. Thank you for responding. I am on Tazorac and cream antiobiotic. It helps somewhat but my main concern is the thickening on end of nose.
Ablative lasers work well for rhinophyma, as this is a proliferative condition of the sebaceous glands of the nose. In some cases, less invasive and simpler other modalities are used to treat rhinophyma such as CO2 laser, chemical peels, and surgery.
