Ive been getting an herbal peel to improve my skins texture and scarring but I feel like its not helping as much. My Aesthetician told me that I must do 6 treatments to see results (currently have done 4), and that later she will do IPL to reduce scarring, but after reading reviews on IPL Ive heard that it doesnt help with indented scars. What should I do?
5 hours after my cheeks were very swollen. I have sensitive skin and tend to swell, but also had very severe indentations. Started at least 2x as deep as in this photo, taken 24 hrs after they appeared. There were 2 more horizontal and 1 vertical line. 1 side of my face was worse. Had numbing cream. Followed protocol in what not to do/use before. Procedure was also very painful, even with numbing cream. Pain tolerant. No issues with botox/fillers and pain. Done in office of a very reputable dr.
Hello, I'm hoping that my mind can be put at ease here. I had IPL photo facial one day ago and I have noticed that I have indented lines over my cheeks and on my jawline. My face is also still quite swollen and my skin feels rough and thick. Is this normal or has my skin been damaged by the IPL? Thank you
I have had two prior Fraxel laser treatments on a scar on the top side of my forearm, with the goal of improving indentation and color. At the third session, IPL was also administered. It has been one week and I am still concerned about the discoloration and healing. The first picture is how the scar looked a few days prior to the treatment including IPL. The second is from today, 7 days after. Should I seek another physician at this point?
I was speaking to a professional about help for my indented acne scars and broken capillaries. She suggested IPL. Several years ago (2008?) I had one treatment of laser (I don't remember which kind of laser) at a different place, and I ended up with cold sores all over my face. I am also now taking Symbicort, a steroidal inhaler. Would it be safe for me to get a laser treatment done? I would be taking an antiviral before and after, but I want a second opinion on safety. Thanks.
