Best Laser to Reduce Facial Oil/sebum? I have overactive sebaceous glands such that my face is extremely oily beyond tolerance. I was told that a certain laser might help. Problem is there are many different options. Please provide me with a detailed and accurate suggestion.

Thanks {edited}

A: Smoothbeam 1250 for Facial Oil/Sebum

The sebaceous glands are glands in the skin that secrete an oily, waxy substance called sebum, to lubricate the skin skin and hair. The FDA approved Smoothbeam 1250 nm diode laser which penetrates to a depth in the skin where the sebaceous glands are found and causes injury to reduce the over production of sebum and therefore intended and helpful for the treatment of acne vulgaris.

In addition to laser treatments, excessive sebum production can be controlled by topical treatments including various over-the-counter cosmoceuticals, salicyclic acid, benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, chemical peels, and prescription medicines such as retinoids. Isotretinoin (Accutane) and sprionolactone (Aldactone) are oral medicines that have also been shown to reduce sebum production thereby treating acne.

Best Laser for Eyelid Wrinkles? machines "specialized" for one treatment perform that treatment perfectly.What is the best laser for “eyelids wrinkles”? Please I ask your opinion for “wrinkles..” on lasers that require one session AND your opinion on lasers that require more sessions to obtain the same results… What is the best laser specific for skin resurfacing? Please,I’m again asking about lasers that require one session AND on gentler lasers that require more sessions to obtain the same results. Thanks a lot

A: Best laser for my problem It is impossible to know which laser is best for your specific problem - in this case your eyelid wrinkles - since you haven't stated your needs and goals. For instance,Do you want to have any downtime? Do want gradual improvement or rapid improvement,? Can you tolerate a minor risk of discoloration? In addition prior history is important. Have you failed any previous procedures. .? Is there any history of keloids? In general I like the Pixel laser ( fractionated CO2)for more dramatic improvement with downtime and the Fraxel for more mild improvement with no downtime.

Hyperpigmentation After Deep Spot Erbium Treatment - What Can I Do? In may 2010, I had an erbium setting 5 done on two scars on my forehead. I'm white and was off accutane for a year and a half. The redness would not go away. After 6 months I chose to do a TCA peel on the spots, which wiped the scars, but the pigmentation is still there. Been like this for 7 months. Its quite red, blood red almost. I don't want to wait 2 years. Will this go away? Will retinoids/HQ work for this? How should it be used exactly? Can someone help me?

A: hyperpigmentation post erbidium-next step

After 7 months you may want to consider a biopsy to make sure there is no underlining problem. If that's okay a BBL treatment with a ProFractional would be the next step to get an improvement.

Sincerely,

Dr Gartner

	“Ruined my Skin - White Plains, NY” Trying to reduce enlarged pores. Dr. Gupta may be a talented eye surgeon. I went to see her for Laser Genesis, hoping for improved skin texture. She convinced me instead to do laser resurfacing. I'd done no research on it, but she was enthusiastic and I fell for it. A month later, I am dealing with damaged skin that I have learned will not rejuvenate. Greatly enlarged pores... more

	“1999 Face Lasered” I had an eyebrow lift and my face lasered. My skin was tightened, a few years peeled off. But my forehead developed uneven pigmentation. No, it didn't go away. It is red, and white like a rash. It is not visible unless you are close. For a few months after this procedure, I could feel the collagen production in my skin. This was a good thing. more
