I have also noticed that botox results vary from one facility to another. It worked good at one place, but not at another place that was advertising a special. I will stick with the facility that I had good results at, but am wondering how you look for a platinum botox doctor. Do you ask or is there a list somewhere?

I believe this is the only site that mentions skin yeast infections after permanent makeup on lips. After my permanent makeup lip procedure, my lips hurt like they were on fire. The healing was very slow. For weeks my lips got little cracks and bleeding, were sore to touch, and I could feel lumps deep down under the skin. I thought I was allergic to it but a dermatologist biopsy said it was not an allergic reaction. My dentist was the savior in this situation. I went in on a routine visit, told him not to tugg or pull on my lips because they hurt. My tongue was even starting to burn. He said the problem was candida albicans. As a partial denture wearer, that increased the growth of yeast- kind of like thrush, but not exactly, you couldn't tell by looking. He said I have angular chelitis also, which is a yeast that grows on the skin in those fine lines around the mouth that angle down at the corners. He prescribed diflucan. My lips got better while taking the medication, but then got worse after I had finished the two weeks of it. Turns out I kept reinfecting myself. I had to throw out old toothbrushes, treat the partials, discard old lip glosses, and put grapefruit seed oil and anti-fungal products on the skin around my mouth. I finally beat it, but it took months.

After reading the comments about the discomfort of the procedure, I think I will look around for a doctor that offers sedation to not feel pain. I want a good deep treatment to get the most for my time and money. I had dermabrasion back in the 1980's and it did wonders for my skin. I looked like a burn victim, it took about 7-10 days to heal, and I was red for months, and easily sunburned for the next couple of years. It was SO WORTH IT! I will trade more down time for better results. Now I am aging and need to do something again. I will give fraxel repair a try. I have a comment about breakouts and white bumps afterward. The oozing and ointments on the skin for days can cause that. If you can find products that let the skin breath more, and possibly water soluble it would help.
