Excel V, specifically the 532 nm wavelength, should not affect your facial hair growth. The target is redness, not pigment of your hair. The procedure has been done on a number of men successfully without affecting hair growth.Depending on the intensity of the settings, redness, swelling, and bruising can last about one week. This question is best answered by your provider, as they will determine your settings. However, icing the areas after treatment can help improve your recovery.
As we age, our eyebrows and upper eyelids descends, as our eyeball moves posteriorly. The frontalis muscle is an elevator, so if it gets paralyzed, it has a more difficult time to elevate the eyebrows and eyelids. As a result, it's a balancing act to make sure the neuromodulator (generic term for botox) is placed correctly with the right dilution to minimize lower forehead heaviness while relaxing the frontalis muscle. The tails of the eyebrows can be lifted with neuromodulator, but sometimes there can be wrinkles that develop upon raising the eyebrow. However, if the eyebrow descent has been severe, there are other solutions such as lasers to help elevate the eyebrows. Fractionated CO2 laser can help relax the wrinkles on the full face. Furthermore, treatment modalities such Ultherapy and Sylfirm X RF microneedling, can be used to elevate the eyebrow and eyebrow and upper eyelid, respectively.
Thank you for your question. Many times, the primary contributor to volume loss in the tear trough or lower eyelids is volume loss in the cheeks, even though it may not seem as obvious. Correction of the cheek is important first, as the cheek serves as the foundation to support the ligaments on the lower eyelid. Often times, correction of the cheek will also decrease the amount of tear trough filler needed. This is critical because there is not much room under the tear trough and too much filler in the tear trough can eventually sag. Furthermore, the lower eyelids have many blood vessels and can bruise more easily. After the volume loss in the cheek is corrected, then some filler can be placed on the tear trough.
