Anna Magee, MD

Hello!  I am sorry you are unhappy with your results.  Results can take up to two weeks, but the amount you had injected is much less than the average amount needed for adequate results in the crow's feet. You will probably find it helpful to wait the full two weeks and then return to your injector for evaluation.  Best wishes!

Hello!  Thank you for your question.  It would be helpful for you to post a picture of the lesion for a more accurate response.   If you are worried about the lesion and because it is changing, I would recommend having it evaluated by a dermotology provider.  Take care!

Hello!  I think you would be very happy with the results from Fraxel treatments to your face.  A series of treatments should help with smoothing the texture of your skin as well as the lightening the hyperpigmentation.  Best regards!

Hello! Visiting a dermatologist for a consultation would be a good start.  Your doctor may recommend a topical skin lightening agent such as hydroquinone or glycolic acids.  The right chemical peel may also help lighten the area, but I agree that it is important to test a small area.  Best wishes!

I am so sorry you are having such a strong reaction.  I suggest returning to the injecting physician for treatment and to address your concerns.  Your doctor can recommend steroids that may calm the inflammation and possibly an antiviral if you are suffering from cold sores. In the meantime, cold compresses amd elevation of your head may help.  If you are still unhappy with the results after the post procedure swelling period is over, your treating physician can do some adjustments.  Take care!
