Thank you for your question. A  transconjunctival blepharoplasty is a very popular procedure. It involves the meticulous sculpting of fat in the lower eyelids to improve the "bags under the eyes" look. Some doctors remove the fat, some reposition it. Sometimes a skin strip is removed at the same time if necessary.See a surgeon who performs computer imaging. That way, you can see what is realistic based on your anatomy.Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. Hairline advancement is a popular procedure. You should see a surgeon who can perform computer imaging for you. This will help you see what is realistic for you to expect after the surgeon has examined you, measured you and determined what could be done for you. A comment could then be made, again after an appropriate examination. Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. Good moisturization with a lipid based serum with growth factors can yield meticulous results. A light crème moisturizer can also help. Wear a sunblock and don't pick at the scabs if you got some.Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. From your picture you seem to  have some healing scabs and some post treatment hyperpigmentation, or PIH. This is common in Asian, Mediterranean, and Black skin. The scabs can take a few weeks to resolve, the pigment several months. A bleaching cream can help.Best wishes. 

Thank you for your question. From your picture, it looks like you have post inflammatory hyperpigmentation, or PIH. This is common in Asian, Mediterranean, and Black skin. It should resolve on its own. Using a bleaching cream can help.Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. Needle RF is proving to be more efficacious for acne scar and pore reduction than Fractionated CO2 laser treatment. Most patients require a series of treatments. As with any therapy, results vary. We have seen the best results when combines with PRP or Exosomes.

Thank you for your question. What you experienced is quite rare, but described in the product info sheet. If it happens it can last for a few weeks. In 25 years we have never seen it last longer than that.Bes wishes.

Thank you for your question. Botox is one of the most popular and safe drugs used in a Plastic Surgeon's Office. Everyone is a victim of how they have been trained. Untoward effects commonly are a result of injector technique. That being said, seek a doctor provider who is held in high esteem with Companies like Allergan, who make Botox cosmetic. Avoid "non-Medical settings". Be sure to read a consent before you sign it, and have all your questions answered.Best wishes! 

Thank you for your question. Most patients see the effect of Botox for 2-4 months. This can very from patient to patient and even in the same patient. Different areas tend to decrease in activity sooner than others. Some patients can become a "non-responder" if they develop antibodies to the drug. Switching to a competitive molecule tends to rectify that.  There also is variability in the activity level of every bottle.Best wishes!

Thank you for your question. Botox typically show effect by 72 hours after injection, and should be fully active by 2 weeks. Most patients see the benefit for 2-4 months. I have injected Botox since the early 1990's and still see many of those patients. Most people require less Botox less frequently over the years.Best wishes
