Can I Have Restylane Injections While Having Laser Hair Removal on my Face?
I am interested in having restylane Under my eyes. However I am also having laser hair removal on my face. Is this ok or will it affect the filler.
A: Lasers for hair removal are not known to heat hyaluronic acid fillersDr. Schwartz's post is right on. I cannot imagine a cause for laser hair removal underneath the eye, and further, the hyaluronic acid filler does not contain any pigment that is the target of the laser for the hair removal. That is why blond or gray hairs cannot be treated with laser hair removal because there is not pigment for the laser to target. Safe, not a problem. Especially because they are in different locations.
Do You Know a Good Clinic in London UK That Can Remove my Venous Lake with No Scarring?
I have a venous lake on my inside lower lip and would like to have it removed successfully with no scarring. I understand the best treatment is with a laser. I wonder if you can recommend a specialist in London UK to carry out the procedure? Many thanks. Sue
A: Surgery is often not necessary for venous lakesVenous lakes are classically treated with surgery, but they are very well treated with one or two treatments using an 810nm hair removal device. A physician with some advanced knowledge may use these long-pulsed 810nm devices (i.e. Lightsheer), thus surgery, anesthesia, and time is not needed. I usually am able to treat it without any brusing with one treatment that does not require anesthesia or result in any downtime. Not sure of anyone in the UK who may be able to offer this service.
After Having Botox in a Wrinkle when It Wears off Do You Have a Bigger Wrinkle?
After having botox in a wrinkle when it wears off do you have a bigger wrinkle?
A: When botox wears off, wrinkles will returnWhen the Botox wears off, the wrinkle that was treated will likely return to its original state. In some instances, where patients may have been treating with Botox for a great deal of time, years, the wrinkle may take a great deal of time to return to its original appearance, but it should always be the original appearance and not a bigger wrinkle.
