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?
Generally speaking, this should be safe if performed within the normal parameters of the treatment settings.
I have just had an Active FX treatment in April and I am very curious as to whether or not I can run mid mornings starting in May in Texas, with a strong sunblock, ball cap and sunglasses. I don't want to be housebound all summer if at all possible. I am willing to use any and all whitening creams and I am very fair.
In my opinion you can resume your running and you shouldn't have to severely limit your lifestyle as long as you take reasonable precautions and exercise moderation in your activities. Begin slowly and do not go out for a 1 hour run at high noon. Run in the mornings beginning with shorter times and with adequate sunblock then assess your response. However, I would discuss this with your treating physician.
Hello, I had Active FX 3 weeks ago and now my skin is breaking out in large painful welts, similar to bug bites. Is this normal? I am scared and I am only able to schedule with the nurse who keeps putting me on Anitbiotics. Thanks
I would ask to be seen by the medical director. You could be developing an allergic reaction to the ointments, creams or antibiotics. You may need a course of oral or topical steroids, antiinflammatory, and/or antihistamines..
