Is It Medical Malpractice for a Lifestyle Life Dr. to Go Through Your Neck with a Laser ?? I had a bad infection for months and I am very dissatisfied. Could I possibly get a refund?

A: laser through the neck and a bad infection

Infections are sometimes unavoidable. It is my opinion that it is not medical malpractice to use a laser on the neck. But you have to look at each particular case. There are many laser surgeons that use the laser in the neck to resurface the neck to make it look better. Below is a video of using the laser in the neck.

Laser Treatment for Orange Peel Textured Skin? I'm 28 years old. Seven months ago, my skin has literally changed overnight for the worse it has ever been and has not improved.
I've seen many dermatologists and doctors who have done nothing but say nothing can be done cause they don't know what it is. My whole face is thickened, tight, red with pigmentation on my cheeks and has acne scarring all over the face with very large rough pores all over creating a thick orange peel texture.
I tried a Vi-peel which did nothing, and just left scars. Would laser be an option? If so, which one?

A: "Orange Peel" texture requires careful dermatologic evaluation

The skin changes you describe require a complete history and physical exam, and may require a skin biopsy as well as blood tests. These tests would allow your dermatologist to consider rare but possible causes for rapid development of “orange peel” texture such as: Autoimmune skin conditions (sarcoidosis, follicular mucinosis), scleroderma (“tight” skin), reactive skin conditions (xanthomas), as well as infectious skin conditions (lepromatous leprosy).

Best Laser to Treat Pigmentation on Indian Skin? Hi, I have a patch of pigmented skin (dermal) on my cheek that's been around for 10yrs, prompted by a reaction of some sort.
It has not responded to bleaching creams, light Chemical peels. Would laser be an option? Q Yag, Q ruby or Fraxel?

A: Fraxel Dual Works for Pigment

If you have tried hydroquinone (fading cream) and retin-a (tretinoin), light chemical peels and sun avoidance, it may be time to look into laser treatment for your pigmented patch. We recently purchased a new Fraxel laser, called the Fraxel Dual. It has two wavelengths. The original Fraxel restore 1550 non-ablative resurfacing laser, and a new 1927 wavelength that seems to work really well for brown discoloration on ALL skin types. It is a brand new wavelength to skin treatments. I have treated 10 patients with melasma or other dyspigmentation and have had 50 to 75% improvement with just one treatment. I suggest that you continue with the fading cream as it will help a little - but look into the Fraxel Dual.
