I'm 34 years old and I have both nasolabial folds and melasma. I also have fine lines under my eyes and some faint hyperpigmentation. Would a laser resurfacing procedure get rid of all of the above? If so, which one? Or should they be treated separately? I was thinking laser because nothing I've tried for my melasma over the past 10 years has worked but I'm worried about making my melasma worse. I also have some small scars so I'm assuming a laser would treat all of my issues... right?
Mole excised 6 months ago. Vertical excision between my nasolabial fold and my philtrum. One inch long. I had a reaction to the sutures -- inflamed and swollen for a week & then allergic to the Monocryl. Localized hives and cheek flushing which spread to body-wide hives. Hives are finally gone! Scar is an indented line with slightly raised outer edges. I think due to all the inflammation while healing? How long should I give it to fill in before I look into revision? Can laser resurfacing help?
Im considering a laser facial for discoloration and fillers for my nasal folds and under eye area. What type of laser would be best to even out my skin tone on my face and chest? Recovery time is not a concern. Im looking at HALO, CoolPeel with Microneedeling, Motus, or IPL. Currently use Retin-A topical and have used hydroquinone in the past. My skin type is normal.
The skin next to my nose has very enlarged pores which I know is common for everyone but it also happens to be on a very puffy mound of skin next to my naslolabial folds so it's really annoying and hard to cover up with make-up. I haven't found any skincare or getting regular facials helps.
I recently (2wks) had laser skin resurfacing with and some fillers for my eyes and labial folds. My eyes however are still very sensitive and it looks like I have liquid filled sacs under my eyes. Is this normal
In your opinion: What is the best procedure to have for resurfacing of the skin and why? What is the best procedure/most effective to have for collagen and Elastin production and why? What is the best filler to have for loss of volume in the face, around the cheek area which has caused nasolabial folds and marionette lines and why?
