This procedure was almost painless, a little warming here and there but nothing that’s intolerable. I did the lower half of my fave and jawline and I already feel tighter and can’t wait to see the full results after a few weeks. I highly recommend dr mariwalla she has the best bedside manor and is so easy to talk to. If your hesitant on booking, this is your sign to book it now!
I underwent the Aerolase procedure in February of 2019. To date, 4/2019 I see a difference in the suppleness of my skin and how youthful it looks. Every day my skin looks better and better and I think that it will continue to produce collagen below my skin to make me look great
Pregnancy causes skin alteration in unpredicted ways. IPL has not been tested in pregnant women and as such we cannot say with certainty that it would affect you adversely. However, I urge you to wait after pregnancy as your skin is likely to react to the laser in a way it may not normally do if you were at your baseline hormone levels. If it is performed on your face there is unlikely to be harm to the fetus though OBs advise against it.
Acne can leave post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and redness, but usually, this redness fades. It is best to give it about 4 weeks before resorting to IPL to take the redness away. Another option is VBeam.
Radiesse is too thick of a product to place in the lips. Juvederm or other hyaluronic acid product is a better choice.
VBeam targets blood in blood vessels. Unfortunately, it can cause severe hypopigmentation in skin of color. For this reason, we do not use VBeam in darker skin types. You can try the long pulse Nd:YAG for your vessels set with a long millisecond pulse width to try to decrease the risk of pigment alteration.
VBeam does work for redness and is more effective than the IPL however you will need several treatments. If your redness is diffuse, you will need to figure out a way to trigger it so that it is maximally red at the time of the treatment. This way the laser has the best chance of targeting the blood in the dilated capillaries that is behind the red coloration.
