I'm considering having ipl laser treatments for a breast enlargement. Research has shown that it increases up to 2 cup sizes only. Is this procedure effective? And what are the side effects?
There is no such thing as using IPL light treatments to encourage breast growth. Breast enlargement either happens naturally or with breast implants.
My wife is from Philippines and has got hyper-pigm on her face due to sun exposure (2yrs back) & then she delivered baby, the dark spots became worse. We consulted dermatologist (last 10months), he did: 1) 3 Fraxels 2) 4 IPL’s 3)Tretinoin cream- last 3 months – before every otherday & now everyday. (She was breast feeding before). I don’t see changes,just few light spots,do I need to wait? Is the IPL per month necessary? In sun- light spot become dark (with spf)?
post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or melasma, may be difficult to treat. A combination of topical therapy and possible Fraxel Dual may help, but religious use of sunblock is important. Sometimes light chemical peels, the "Kligman" formula of hydroquinone, Retin A, and steroid cream can help. There are important side effects of the cream so discuss it with your doctor. All lasers and peels have a risk of making the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation worse. If hydroquinone irritates the skin, then Lumixy or the newer Elure lightening cream may help.
Hi. Recently I traveled to China and recieved laser hair removal treatments for my legs. I believe the machine used was an IPL machine. All of my cousins recieved the same treatments but none of them received any burns from it. The burns do not seem superficial and there were crusting and blistering. The blisters have popped wth no infections and some of the crust have fallen off. What can I do to prevent scarring. The doctor only recommended hydrocortisone and vitamin E. Please help!!!
As bad as the photographs look, it is possible to improve the outcome compared with no treatment. You should see a dermatologist who can examine your skin. Is this a second degree or focally third degree burn in some tiny areas? Will the post inflammatory hyperpigmentation reduce itself or will it stay dark brown forever? Will the texture of the skin become white shiny and thin? Will there be white centers, depressed with scars and surrounded by dark brown pigment? Wound care may help immensely. Different physicians have different techniques for treating wounds. Unfortunately the legs heal just about the poorest of the body locations and have the highest chance of permanent postinflammatory hyperpigmentation.
