Hi i had IPL for some sun damage. They recommended 3 sessions . Since then i have noticed my face is sagging more and I have puffiness around my lower eyes . I have read that it can cause fat loss ? Could this be the cause? Is there anything i can be doing to restore my face?
Hi, Im looking for advice on how to get rid of the redness around my lips, mainly my top lip. Ive had this for as long as I can remember and I dont know whats caused it or how to treat it. It isnt sore or irrated in anyway. Its like normal skin, just red. I often get small pimples around my lips and Im unsure if this is related but it does make it look worse. Even when there are no pimples its still red. Im wondering if any laser treatments would help. Thanks
Hi Im a 34 year old female who has under the skin, skin colored bumps on both sides of my chin. I have done two courses of Accutane with the last course completed 3 years ago. I have had chemical peels, microneedling, facials, etc. The bumps are not that noticeable unless I am in direct sunlight. I have had a biopsy and was told it is sebaceous hyperplasia. An esthetician said it is scarring from old acne. Someone else said it looks like calcium deposits. It is not milia. What is it?
Hi! Im loving my new nose :) and I wanted to fix some broken capillars which formed on top of my bridge (I have very sensitive skin, not surprised this happened!) Would you say that 2.5 months post op are enough to proceed with some IPL/laser for capillaries removal? Thank you!
I have had these dark spots on my chest, neck and forehead since I was younger. I believe they're birthmarks, but not entirely sure. They look similar to cafe-au-lait spots and are very splotchy. I also have something similar on my forehead but not sure if its related. Whenever I have extensive sun exposure, its usually the outer rims of my forehead that get darker. The spots on my forehead also have a weird leathery texture. Is there any way to remove this and to clear them?
I had received ipl treatment for my eyes, optilight. They go over the cheeks and nose along with the eyelids. At the time my rosacea was usee control with a triple cream. Since the ipls my flare is centralizing in my nose. The doctor said it would go away and it hasnt. I dont know what to do. Is there anyone here that has seen this before? Im really concerned bc it burns. It happens mostly at night. I need to find a good dermatologist to help me. My dr has never seen this before. Thank you
I have light skin. I had an Ipl to remove slight pigmentation and the provider proceeded to zap one area 4 or more times. I smelled burning flesh. The burn itself didnt heal over until three weeks and left me with a deep indented white scar. Provider claims IPL cannot burn you and that her using it 4+ times on exact same spot is normal. Is this the norm?
Hi, i am skin type 3 and have had about 10 total IPLs with good results, and redness always subsided after 1 hour. I recently started seeing someone new who told me welts are normal but i never had them with the last practitioner. Should I be concerned? The welt is just below the tear trough area and looks similar to raised 1st degree burn. It burns still 24 hours later. Like i said, the practitioner said it is normal but I am seeking additional recommendations since I am in mild pain. Thanks!
Hi there. I am wondering about IPl treatment for diffuse redness. Can this be done at the same time as YAG laser treatment for capillaries or should there be down time between the two procedures? If so how much down time? I have both diffuce redness and caps on my nose and face
