I just had Radiesse placed in my cheeks and in the creases around my mouth. If I now get an Active FX laser treatment- will it ruin and or evaporate my Radiesse?
It should be safe if the Radiesse was placed in the subcutaneous tissue and not the skin since the laser will be working in a more superficial plane.
I hope that helps!
Is it safe for someone who had a silicone implant in his nose to get Active FX fractional CO2 laser treatment to remove acne scars and large pores?
My basic answer is yes because the implant is located in a much deeper plan that the FX laser will be addressing. That being said, you also need to make sure that your skin is not too stretched and that over-agressive laser resurfacing will not weaken the area and allow for extrusion.
My recommendation is that you seek out a very experienced laser practitioner who is Board Certified in either Dermatology or Plastic Surgery and performs a good number of these procedures before moving forward.
I hope that helps!
It's 10 days later and my face is pitch red, with deep red cracks, around my eyes have what look like sun blisters (white hard bumps). My skin looks awful. I'm so scarred. I'm taking Valtrex, using Locoid Lipocream, AND taking pretnisone. It's not getting better. Pleass help. What is happening??
From your picture, it does appear that you still have a moderate amount of redness following ACTIVE FX laser resurfacing. To be honest, not knowing what settings were used or actually being able to evaluate you in person it is very difficult to say what is going on.
However, I can say that for more aggressive treatments with the FX laser, redness can persist for up to 10 days depending upon settings, the areas treated, and the overall quality of your skin.
My recommendation is to follow-up with whomever performed the treatment and have them make sure that you don't have an infection (bacterial or fungal) and that you are healing as expected. If they do not offer peace of mind, then I would get a second opinion from either a Board Certified Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeon.
I hope that helps!
