There are many types of facials that can cause some minimal downtime, mild tingling, mild "sun burn" feeling, maybe some itching, even redness and swelling. Depending on the type of facial, if there is any dryness or peeling afterwards, it may give the appearance of wrinkles, that's due to lack of external hydration, but will resolve within a week of treatment. However, in general facials will not cause any of these aging issues. They should not be administered with any force or aggression, they should be relaxing and painless. Sorry for this unfortunate experience, don't give up, facials are wonderful and I encourage you to try again somewhere else.Hope this helps and good luck on your journy to great skin.Dr. Ahmed
iLipo works great for shrinking fat cells and promoting lymphatic drainage. The low grade radio frequency heat will help to "melt" the fat cell, while the suction and rolling hand piece works to drain the broken down fat out of the body through the lymphatic system. The secondary effect will be the reduction and smoother appearance of cellulite. This will not stop fat cells from expanding if you are not watching your diet and exercising. It does not destroy fat cells. Hope this helps and good luck on your journey.Dr. Ahmed
It is typical to have about a half inch of asymmetry in the face and on our bodies. As we age it becomes more obvious. There are heat treatments like Pelleve, which is radio frequency heat that will bring up the temperature of the skin below the surface to a temperature that causes inflammation and wound healing to begin. It is a non-surgical, non-invasive, no downtime, and can present instant results. Another great way is the use of dermal fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, or Radiesse. These are injected into the area, determined by your Dr. and instantly add volume to the area that is drooping, giving the face a more symmetry.Hope this helps and good luck on your journey to great skin.Dr. Ahmed
It is best to abstain from drinking alcohol while undergoing Erbium treatments. It will slow down your healing process, dehydrate your skin and cause capillary redness. It is advised to drink plenty of water during this time.Hope this helps you and good luck on your journey to great skin.
Typically two treatments are required, spaced six weeks a part. You're optimal results will be seen six weeks after your second treatment. The results are permanent in the area that has been targeted, as this technology destroy's up to 24% of the fat cells in one session. Hope this answer's your question and best of luck to you.Dr. Ahmed.
