Hi, I see the small red purple areas on your face after your recent IPL treatment and I think that they are going to be temporary. I have had the same appearance on my own face after IPL and it went away after a week or two. I think the spots probably indicate that they treated some small vessels or other pigmented areas.

I’m 41 w/ fair skin that’s prone to discoloration &amp; broken capillaries. Throughout the years I’ve had about 10 IPL treatments without any issues. Saturday I had a treatment &amp; later that day I developed dark red &amp; purple marks all over my face. For point of reference it’s been about 7 yrs since my last IPL. The marks shown are all a result of the IPL. I had no prior marks in those areas. Should I be concerned about permanent damage? Is there anything I can do to expedite healing?

Chemical peel or microneedling or both might help with the scarring. You might also consider combining the two in separate sessions.

I never used sunscreen so my face is 3/4 shade darken than my body, then i used neutrogena sunscreen but that didn't suit me, so i stopped. I want to make my face bright (my lips too), and scar free, please give me a right solution

I am only 18. I had acne on my face so I have scar, not that much noticeable. Is chemical peel a solution?

Perhaps your skin is still experiencing the effects of the microneedling and it usually takes 3 treatments for a good result. Perhaps it is swollen and thats why it appears to be sagging? Hard to say, but I have seen patients who have had to have several treatments for an improvement and sometimes it does look worse before it looks better. Also, consider switching to Skinpen, it is better than Dr.Pen.

I’ve received microneedling from a spa where I get facials. The esthetician uses Dr. Pen. I feel I look worse than before. I have more lines, I see more pores and sagging than before. I know this is not the same quality as Skinpen, but is it possible to look worse? Thank you

Dr Pen microneedling - is it possible to look worse after this treatment?

I think you could do masseter botox and get a good result if you are looking to slim the lower portion of your face or for TMJ related issues.

I think I have a bit of lower face heaviness, but unsure if it's due to strong masseters, flat cheeks, buccal fat, or a combo. Would I benefit from masseter Botox?

I recommend you try prp injections and RF microneedling such as morpheus8. We have seen good results with both of these modalities combined.

I have been getting botox and filler for years but under my eyes are an area of concern. I got some botox lower under eye (I think) to see if that'd smooth out the wrinkle but it made it look worse with now a divot/concave under my eyes. What route should I go to address this trouble area and smooth it out: more botox, fillers, skin resurface, surgery, etc? Thank you.

Smooth out wrinkles under eyes and fix divot - Botox, fillers, laser or surgery? (photo)
