Safest Treatment for Sun Damage and Broken Capillaries in Sensitive Skin? I was diagnosed with mild Rosacea 3 years ago. After being on a low-dosage Isotretinoin for 9 months my skin stabilised. I have some sun damage and brown spots/patches, I have several broken capillaries around my nose, my pores are enlarged and skin looks rough. I am currently using Obagi Nu derm with Tretinoin 0.05 which seems to even out the skin tone but I would like to get treatment for the redness and roughness. Which is safest: Sciton BBL or Pulsed Dye Laser?

A: V-beam laser for rosacea and facial blood vessels

Pulsed dye technology has been around since the early 1990s and has been improved with two major developments over time. V-beam pulsed dye utilizes one wavelength of light which is specific for capillary blood vessels, whereas broad band light, such as IPL, is not a laser, but a light source, and uses multiple wavelengths of which the desired ones can be allowed to pass through selected filters. I have favored the PDL / V-beam laser for two decades. It is very safe and effective. Tretinoin, or Retin-A, can make the skin more sensitive and is helpful to the skin's health by promoting blood flow in the dermis, but for some people, it can increase the number of unwanted capillaries in the surface skin which would be counterproductive for you.

I Have Dry Eye After Lower Blepharoplasty, is Laser Resurfacing for Wrinkles Too Risky? There seems to be a lot more lasers nowadays with technology constantly improving. Does anyone know of any laser which is suitable for treating wrinkles for patients who suffer from dry eyes? I would be extremely grateful to find out.

A: dry eyes and laser resurfacing

If your dry eyes after blepharoplasty are caused by the eyelid not hugging the eye and allowing tears to not bathe the surface of the eye's cornea, then any treatment to the skin of the eyelid, laser or chemical peel, to improve the wrinkles could worsen this problem. Sometimes oculoplastic or plastic surgeons will do a tightening procedure, such as a canthopexy, to lift and anchor the lower eyelid up against the eye. Then after this heals and proves to be successful, laser resurfacing can be done. It would be wise to seek consultation with an ophthalmologist or better yet, an oculoplastic surgeon, before considering the resurfacing.

I Had Co2 & Ebrium Laser Resurfacing Done 8 Weeks Ago to Treat Moderate Rolling Acne Scars I had Fractional Co2 & Ebrium laser resurfacing 8 weeks ago to treat primarily rolling acne scars on my cheeks and temples. My doctor also performed a procedure called Facetite. My cheek bones still feel bruised to the touch. Since then, I have been experiencing numbness in those areas but most concerning is that when I smile it is uneven - half of my face goes up higher. I'm scheduled to have a fotofacial done 1 week from now. Is this normal and should I continue with this procedure?

A: numbness and soreness probably from Facetite and not Fractional CO2

It is difficult to say what is the cause of your symptoms but probably it is the FAcetite as that is an energy designed to tighten the deep tissues and Fractional laser resuracing with Fraxel Restore and Fraxel REpair does not penetrate that deeply of affect the muscle or bone areas.

	“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.
