I am unhappy with recent injections in my cheeks. The doctor encourages the use of the skin tight laser, I believe TITAN, to "soften" the filler. I'm told it can be softely molded to reduce the uneveness I have. Are there risks? Will this help?
Editor's Note: See update here.
If you are unhappy with the filler material inejcted and it is hyaluronic acid, then hyaluronidase can disolve it. I doubt that the the TITAN laser penetrates deep enough for it to have an effect on the filler.
Can using a sunless tanning cream before a Titan laser treatment interfere with the work of the laser? My doctor told me that after I mentioned I'm using a sunless tanner. However, I've already had two treatments. He then told me that it's okay because he had a paticular laser head that would make it okay.
We highly recommend no form of tanning. That means regular sun exposure, tanning booths, and also tanning creams. We want you as close to your natural baseline color for best results! When your treatments are completed, you can then resume the use of the tanning creams.
Do procedures such as Titan or Fraxel Laser tend to "melt" existing injectable fillers?
It is unlikely that the fillers will be affected by these lasers. These lasers do not penetrate the skin that deeply. It is usually better to do the laser treatments first, and then have the fillers placed.
