DeepFX After Facial Plastic Surgery Can you have DeepFX if you had facial plastic surgery five years ago?

A: Fractionated CO2 + Facial Plastic Surgery = Great Results!

Dear Rogge,

Absolutely. In my practice, we educate our patients to optimize their facial health. Clearly, you are advocating for your best facial health in maintaining and optimizing the results of your prior surgery. Fractionated CO2 works in a complimentary way to facial surgery. The CO2 treats the surface and facial surgery addresses the contour. Sounds like you are covering your bases for great facial health. Best of Luck to you and enjoy!

Sincerely,

Dr. Bassichis

p.s. Don't forget about sunscreen and great skin care.

Can Active & Deep Fx Laser for Lines on Upper LipCause Herpes? I was surprized to hear this info, Dr said it can cause an out break on lips. I never heard of this and never had a cold sore in my 51yrs.

A: Lasers Can Cause Cold Sore Outbreaks

Most people have been exposed to and carry the virus responsible for cold sores: Herpes Simplex 1. Even if you have never had an outbreak, a laser resurfacing procedure could provoke one and lead to severe complications during healing. Valtrex or acyclovir are antiviral medications that are given to almost all patients prior to and shortly after the procedure to prevent an outbreak from happening.

A: can lasers cause cold sores?

The virus that causes cold sores lives in your nerves and typically lie dormant. Stress of any type can cause them to surface. Lasers are a form of stress that certainly can induce this. Even if you never had a cold sore, it is possible to have the virus. It is unusual to see it cause a problem with a fractionated laser because your skin heals over so quickly
