Had Botox and Juvederm before Moving to Cold Climate. Now My Eyes Are So Dark Underneath and Crepy, What Can I Do?

I'm in Incline Village,NV. One day before I came here 12/27/2011 I had Botox and Juvederm injections. The climate here is destroying my skin. Is it possible that this climate is responsible for extreme under eye darkness and sudden crepe like appearance? Also I am very itchy. I am using skin conditioners with no help. I need to know what can be done about maintaining good skin in NV? What can be done for under eye darkness and sudden crepe texture under them.

A: botox and juvederm for cosmetic eyelid treatment

Is it possible that the Juvederm is causing a bluish Tyndall effect and the Botox having treated one area is causing wrinkling or crepiness of an adjoining area?  You may need to see a board certified plastic surgeon or dermatologist to evaluate your condition.

Can Damaged Skin Bounce Back if Your Young?

Hello. I am 22 years old and have developed wrinkles around my mouth already, as well as a loss of skin in my left inner cheek where the nasolabial fold is, the right cheek is fine. I do not smoke or drink but I have put my skin through a lot throughout the years which I highly regret with exfoliants, topicals, experimenting, etc. I was wondering if my skin can bounce back to its original self? I have used retin-a and it works but I do not want to be dependent on it for the rest of my life.

A: Healing Skin

Without pictures or seeing you in person, it is impossible to give you specific advice.  However, in a young patient, the skin is usually very good at healing.  Additionally there are many factor which you can control to help your skin such as not smoking, eating a nutritious diet, etc.  There are other factors which you can't control such as your genetics which can affect the elasticity of your skin.  

 

Good Luck.

Excising Porous Skin

I have a patch of orange peel skin on my cheek near my nose. It is about a 2"x1" area. It bothers me a great deal and despite extensive research and experimentation (with peels, lasers, etc) I have not found a solution to the problem. Is it possible to actually just remove the affected area? I would rather have a scar than the orange peel skin.

A: Excision of Skin

The most important thing to realize if you are having an excision is that it will leave some kind of line.  There is no way to magically make any incision disappear.  While we are very good at minimizing any signs of surgery, you need to know that there is no magic want.  With that said, if you are having skin changes or concerns, it is very important that you see a dermatologist to make sure it is a benign condition.

 

Good Luck.
