Hello!&nbsp; In response to your question, is it safe to have microdermabrasion and LED therapy while taking doxycycline, the answer is&nbsp;yes, it is safe.&nbsp; If your skin is feeling sensitive, it may be because you are using topical treatments as part of your treatment regimen. Be cautious of microdermabrasion if your skin feels sensitive as that can be pretty irritating.&nbsp; If your using a trentinoin (or Retin A) at night, you probably don't need microdermabrasion at this time, as you are already getting quite a bit of exfoliation in your daily routine.&nbsp; Hope all goes well for you!
Sincerely,
Gerard Nat, M.D. Downey, CA

My therapist said that it is fine, but I’m not sure as my skin is really sensitive at the moment.

Is it safe to perform Microdermabrasion and LED light therapy on acne prone skin whilst on the antibiotic Doxycycline?

Though the photos are very helpful and well done, this is a situation in which I would really like to see your skin face to face, and be able to evaluate it.&nbsp; Dermatology is very visual and it would enable me to give you a proper evaluation, diagnosis, and make a treatment plan.&nbsp; I want to partner with you to get this problem taken care of for you. You may need a prescription medication but I wouldn't know for sure unless you come in for an evaluation.&nbsp; I am confident&nbsp;that we can make it better. Please call my office at your convenience if you would like to be evaluated. (562)904-6116.&nbsp; Hope to meet you soon.

I gotten a mild Jessner peel last year in January and ended up picking at it I think it got infected it was itchy for a whole year, I went to get a facial right after and the lady told me to use hydrocortisone cream.. I ended up using the whole tube for 2 weeks (packed it on) and didn't know you weren’t supposed too.. I got a microdermabrasion a few months after.&nbsp;Messed it up even more.&nbsp;The skin texture is just not improving I don’t know what’s going on with my forehead?! Has anyone seen this before?

I need help with what’s going on with my face. If it’s damaged, how can I reverse skin texture? (Photo)

Non-surgical options for treating under eye bags are getting proper rest, using eye creams that contain caffeine to tighten the skin, injectable fillers, and use of concealer to make them appear less noticeable.&nbsp; They are not caused by a virus.&nbsp; The likelihood is that these are hereditary and&nbsp;inherited from your parents and grandparents.&nbsp; If the eye bags contain fat, there is an option to liposuction it out, but that's an invasive procedure&nbsp; Lasers can tighten the skin somewhat and improve the look of them without surgery, but it's difficult to say what is causing them without being properly examined.&nbsp; For best results and treatment options, see a local dermatologist, plastic surgeon or opthamologist for a thorough exam.

I wanna get rid of them so badly!  I think i might have a virus, which is causing them.  Any advice?

Any way to reduce eye bags, non-surgically? I have a huge problem with lower eyebags. (Photo)

The Gentlelase is a consistent,&nbsp;effective and safe laser to treat this issue.&nbsp; Some patients have a "hivey" type of response after the treatment.&nbsp; Your body is producing histamines in response to the assault on your follicles. This exaggerated inflammatory response is tough to deal with for the patient, but it's temporary (1-3 days) and&nbsp;the results are worth it. The more inflammation you experience, the more effective the treatment!&nbsp; Comfort measures can be anti-inflammatory creams, oral anti-inflammatories such as Motrin or Aleve,&nbsp;and application of ice packs&nbsp;3-4 times for the first day can help make you more comfortable. We have been treating patients for 18 years, and this reaction is rare but manageable.&nbsp;&nbsp;

Hi. I would like to remove my hair in my neck (as part of beard, on the upper part of my neck), i tried to do this one time and had very strong&nbsp;and intolerable&nbsp;pain and very serious&nbsp;hives and skin irritation after this procedure. But i want to remove this hair nevertheless, i guess i need a different type of laser for really sensitive areas such&nbsp;as my neck. Could anyone recommend me such laser, please?

What kind of laser is best for removing hair from my neck, as part of my beard? I tried before, but broke out in hives.

VBeam is superior for reducing and eliminating redness from capillaries too close to the surface of the skin.&nbsp; The heat light and energy of the laser drives the blood vessel back down into the mid-dermis where it belongs and they&nbsp;will not be visible anymore.&nbsp; It's a 20 minute treatment, after which you may experience redness,&nbsp;puffiness and tenderness of the treated skin&nbsp;for 1-3 days.&nbsp; It's critical to wear a sunscreen for at least 30 days after the treatment, as your skin will be a little more susceptible to picking up the rays of the sun. We have been treating patients with this type of concern for 18 years and the Vbeam is a consistent winner that effectively solves this problem.

My face has slightly red/pink pigmentation, I flush very easily, etc. wanting to know which is the best option to reduce redness.

Which is better to reduce facial redness: V Beam or IPL? (Photos)
