Hello. In the early clinical trials with Kybella, some doctors tried to sneak up to the jowl area to see if it would help - unfortunately, this caused a temporary nerve palsy in some patients. That area should be avoided. I would recommend talking to a board-certified plastic surgeon/facial plastic surgeon to see how this problem can be corrected surgically.
Hello. The Vbeam pulse dye laser is the gold-standard for the treatment of small vessels on the face (called angioma or telangiectasia).Flushing is different than just vessels - it's caused by instability of the blood vessels' ability to open and close. Some people get this for no reason, or it could be related to hormones, temperature, emotional state, foods, etc.While Vbeam treatments may help remove some of the superficial vessels - improving flushing - it's unlikely to treat the problem completely. Flushing is one of the hardest things to treat with lasers/IPL in almost everyone. There are some topical creams that can help with this problem, so make sure to ask your doctor.
Hello. It is highly unlikely that Botox caused your eye pain. I suggest that you speak with your injector and consider speaking with an eye doctor.
Hello. It is expected for patients to have a considerable amount of swelling and even nodules for several weeks after injection. Your injector should have explained this in advance of your treatment. There is also often numbness of the treatment area. The swelling and nodules gradually abate over 6-8 weeks, just in time for your second injection. Everyone gets at least 2 sessions and some people get more.In the clinical trials with Kybella, the number of people experiencing improvement after only one treatment was low. This improves with subsequent injection sessions.I'm sorry, I can't speak to "ice pack burns" as this is not seen in my practice. Best of luck to you!
Hi and thanks. I can't think of a reason why Voluma injections would cause a flare up of psoriasis - of course, no one can guarantee you this. I've injected HA filler in hundreds of people with psoriasis and no one has ever complained of a flare aftwerwards. Good luck.
