PRP for Hair Loss

Mole Removal

Celluma is a low level light therapy to regulate skin collagen metabolism using a pulsed LED light source and it has effets on skin photo-aging and pigmentation.&nbsp; You can continue Celluma treatments before&nbsp;Venus Viva procedure and resume 24-48hours after the procedure is performed due to LED's mild thermal effect unless directed by a physician.&nbsp; LED therapy will accelerate the resolution of erythema, promote healing and for anti-aging benefits.

Should I discontinue the Celluma treatments for a certain period of time before the Venus treatment? Likewise after the Venus treatment how long should I wait before resuming the Celluma Therapy?

Is it safe to have Venus Viva treatments while doing Celluma LED Therapy on a regular basis?

Yes, Venus Viva operates with the NanoFractional Radio Frequency(RF) and SmartScan technology that delivers energy deep in to dermis generating heat and initiating skin changes, remodeling collagen and causing the tissue to regenerate thus producing a fresher younger looking skin.&nbsp;
The benefits of treatment are:&nbsp; Tightens lax skin, Diminishes visible pores, Evens out skin tone and texture, Controls pigmentation lesions, Diminishes appearance of rosacea, Reduces fine lines and wrinkles, Decreases visible signs of acne scaring, Correct necklace lines, Elevates and resurfaces the delicate skin around the eyes and long-term collagen stimulation and regeneration for lasting results.

Is this procedure helpful in reducing pores and improving texture?

Usually there's no restriction on applying foundation or make up after any filler injection or subcision for acne scar, but needle injections leave multiple punctured skin and may increase the chance of skin contamination.&nbsp; Unless you have to wear the make up for absolute reason on procedure day, it may not be a bad idea to wait&nbsp;till next morning.&nbsp;&nbsp;

How long after having bellafill with subscision for acne scars is it okay to wear foundation?

Bellafill is such an unique filler that lasts up to 5 years after the injection.&nbsp; It will not only&nbsp;give an immediate gratification and also works as an biostimulant over time to produce more collagen and elastin. If you were happy with the results during the injection, it maybe due to some swelling from injection.&nbsp; Have your injector check your nose again&nbsp;and may consider adding more Bellafill to get the result you want.

During the injections the results was immediate. And i loved it. Now 2 days later i look like before the injections. What happen? Please explain.

I am not sure how long it has been since your mole was cauterized, but&nbsp;it is quite normal to see it&nbsp;gets&nbsp;darker a few days after the procedure as the outer layer of skin was burned and cauterized.&nbsp;&nbsp;Then the darkened area will be covered with a scab and it will come off soon, maybe in a week or so.&nbsp; Don't try to scratch or pull the scab off during this healing stage.&nbsp; I would also keep the area open rather than covering it with a bandaid.

It appears to look very dark, darker than it was before. I was worried but I assume that it's just the top layer that was burned but that layer will soon come off. Currently I'm keeping it moist with a bandaid over it, is what i'm thinking correct?

Cauterized mole is darker, why? I just had a mole on my nose cauterized.

Even though Bellafill is the only FDA approved filler lasts 5 years but may not be the good choice of filler for the lips and tear troughs as small particles can create unwanted nodules on injected areas.&nbsp; I recommend other hyaluronic acid fillers for soft and smooth appearance of lips.

I know many doctors don't use bellafill because it's not easy to use and you have to have experience but there are doctors who use it successfully, I just can't find one here in the bay area.

Is there any doctor in the bay area who uses Bellafill for lip injections?

Bellafill is the only FDA approved filler lasts for 5years, especially injected on glabella and acne scars. It can be injected anywhere on the face except around the eyes and lips.&nbsp; Please consult an experienced provider as Bellafill does not have a reversal agent unlike other hyaluronic acid fillers.&nbsp; FDA also require a skin test (28days) before the treatment.

Is Bellafill a good choice for long term results? Is it safe?

PRP&nbsp;has been very effective treatment for both men and women for hair loss but it may not work for everyone depending on the cause of hair loss.&nbsp; It may take 4-6 sessions and wait&nbsp;several months&nbsp;to see visible results.&nbsp; The treatment for hair loss should be&nbsp;multiple combined approaches, which include&nbsp;nutritional supplement (Viviscal, Nutrafol), topicals (Rogaine, Revivogen), low level laser cap, medicated shampoo, medications (Propecia, Spironolatone etc), hormone therapy&nbsp;along with PRP.&nbsp; Please find the PRP&nbsp;expert in your area.

I am a 22 yr old male and over the last year my hair got thinner, more so my hairline. I just finished my 3rd treatment of PRP for the hair and after 3 months, still can't see any noticible results. I am told to be patient as it can take anywhere from 4-6 months to see measurable results with the eye. I am curious about my hairline. There is still active hair growth but baby hairs, not what it used to be like and I'm wondering if PRP treatments I received will help this grow in length and thicken.

There may be a eyebrow drop if Botox is injected to lower part of forehead close to eyebrow.&nbsp; Most of injectors inject Botox on the upper part of forehead to relax forehead wrinkles.&nbsp; 9 units is relatively a small dose and if that happens, it will be resolved in a few months because Botox action lasts only 3-4months.&nbsp; If eyebrow drops significantly, one can use ophthalmologic drops to ease the symptoms.&nbsp; Always find the injector who has a plenty of experience to avoid the adverse effects.

I received Botox 3 days ago just on the upper forehead not glabella. 9 Units only. Will my brows/lids drop indefinitely?

Any neuromodulator -- Botox, Dysport, Xeomin -- can be used to lift the eyebrow by relaxing a depressing muscle around the eye.&nbsp; This may last 3 to 4 months, but may extend the effect by adding some fillers to the lateral and upper part of the brow to keep it lifted.&nbsp; Other option is Polydioxanone thread lift to the eyebrow.&nbsp; This is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure that can be done in doctor's office with local anesthetic injection.&nbsp; Threads are absorbable, like a surgical suture material, in 4 to 6months and not only they give you an instant gratification also constantly stimulate collagen production over time.&nbsp; Maximum effect will be seen in 6 to 8 weeks.&nbsp; Please consult the physician who is well trained with this procedure.

But eye creams don’t seem to be cutting it. My right brow/eyelid is droopy to the point where my eyes look like different shapes entirely. Are there injection options that could help? I’ve read about Botox above the brow as a “Botox brow lift” but I’m not sure. I really don’t want surgery yet, so I’d love to know if other options could at least help. Thanks!
