Dr. Levi and her excellent staff worked as a team to get the best results for me and I am so pleased! Dr. Levi is extremely talented and careful and I was in good hands for my Fraxel laser treatments of which I have had two. Minimum downtime, maximum results! I also had my second VI Body Peel for my arms. Again, I am very pleased with the results! I highly recommend Dr. Cherise Levi at Ayana Dermatology!
I've had fully ablative CO2 laser resurfacing treatments by plastic surgeons Julio Gallo and Adam Rubenstein and nonablative Fraxel by Riverchase Dermatology in Miami. I noticed significant lightening to the melasma on my cheeks in just 1 of those treatments. I went to this office because it is much closer than the Miami offices. Unfortunately, this dermatologist is extremely conservative and the 1 treatment done did nothing. I know that she recommended 3 treatments but I should have seen something. I think that the biggest issue is that although LaseMD has settings from 1-20, a very low setting was used on me. I do not recommend LaseMD or a very conservative approach if you have had previous treatments with stronger lasers melasma. Here are the before and after photos.
Most laser hair removal devices require some kind of "glide" product to be applied to the skin for the laser to safely fire through. There is a common product used for this called Lux Lotion - it's a skin protectant and feels exactly like baby oil.
With any hyaluronic acid filler, there is a risk of product migration. If tear trough filler migrates away from the location where it is injected, then there's a risk of it giving the appearance of puffiness below the skin in areas where it is undesirable.
