CLAIM YOUR PROFILEA Vampire Face Lift is quite safe. Since it is your own blood products, there is no chance of reaction to the product. Placing the product does not require great precision like a dermal filler would. Assuming that the area is cleaned properly and the blood is drawn and prepared properly, you shouldn't have a problem. All that being said, make sure that your injector has sufficient training and experience doing the procedure.

Thank you for sending your question and pictures. Although I can't say that your reaction is normal, it does occasionally happen. Some people do get an irritation after Laser Hair Removal. At this time, I would be nice to your skin. I wouldn't shave until it calms down. Mild soap and aloe would be helpful and soothing. Regards, Dr. DiPasquale

This is actually a very good question. Generally, I perform treatments on the body at 6 to 8 week intervals and face at about 4 weeks. Performing a treatment too soon will not speed up the process. It may however cost you another treatment in the long run. When you have a Laser treatment, whichever hair follicles are destroyed during the treatment are gone! Whatever hair growth you see a couple of weeks later are new follicles that are no longer dormant. Lasers do not work on dormant hair follicles. Even if you are "late" for a treatment, you haven't lost ground. Whatever follicles you see are new growth. I have patients that are away at college and have treatments 2 or 3 times a year. They still see a decrease in hair growth after each treatment.

Thank you for your question. Laser Hair Removal is a very good option for patients with PCOS regardless of the skin color. It will take multiple treatments. Please make sure you have your treatments done by a physician with a lot of experience working with darker skin. Also, make sure that the laser they are using is really for hair removal. Not all lasers are equal! Some lasers are better for hair removal than others. I hope this helps. Good luck! Dr. DiPasquale
Physician
Thank you for your question. It is not unusual to see some hair growth immediately after laser treatments. You will probably see that this hair will just fall out after a few days. You will get additional hair growth in the coming weeks leading up to your next treatment as well.
Physician
Thank you for your question. Lips generally have a lot of swelling after injections. Your pictures do not show more swelling than I have seen. Ice and arnica are fine but the area should not be manipulated much. The swelling can last 2 weeks, so don't make any judgement about how you look until then. You will see the swelling start to decrease after 2 or 3 days. I hope this helps. Regards, Dr. DiPasquale
Physician
Thank you for your question. Generally, lips do swell after Lip augmentation. You certainly do have a significant amount of swelling. The swelling can take up to 2 weeks to return to normal. When I inject, I usually stop after one syringe and have the patient return 2 weeks later to evaluate and if needed will inject more at that time. If after 2 weeks you are unhappy with the size of your lips, return to your injector. He or she can help reduce the size of the lips. I hope this helps. Regards, Dr. DiPasquale
Physician
Thank you for your question and pictures. What you are seeing in your eye is most probably just a small broken blood vessel that has nothing to do with your Juvederm injection. Small blood vessels can just break spontaneously or from rubbing or any other trauma to the eye. It usually takes a couple of days to heal on its own. If there is no improvement within a couple of days or if there is any pain, discomfort or vision change I would recommend seeing your Ophthalmologist. Hope this helps. Dr. DiPasquale

Thank you for your question. Laser hair removal will remove your 5'oclock shadow however, your beard may not be as pretty afterwards as it is now. The hair may regrow a little patchy even after one treatment. Although you do not have to remove the beard completely, it will not be as uniform as it is now so growing a beard in the future may not be aesthetically pleasing. I hope this helps. Dr. DiPasquale
Physician
It is very common to have bruising and swelling after lip augmentation with dermal fillers. The swelling can take over 2 weeks to return to normal. If you are not happy with your results after 2 weeks, I would then suggest that you return to your injector for an evaluation. Regards, Dr. DiPasquale

Not only is this physician technically superb, but I walk out feeling so much better than I did when I went in because of her incredible bedside manner. (I'm a nurse, so believe me, I know doctors, and she's one in a million.) She just gets people. She's not supposed to be a therapist, but she ends up being one anyway. I would never, ever go to anyone else.
After living with darkened circles under my eyes for years, I decided to take action and visit Dr. Dipasquale in Hillsdale, NJ. She has an excellent bedside manner and calms any nervous jitters prior to your procedure. The outcome after three visits was positive. I no longer have people approaching me and asking if I'm tired or inquiring about my physical health. There is minimal pain during the procedure and some minor bruising following it. It is something I would do again and would recommend to a friend. Thanks again, Dr. DiPasquale!
Dr. Di Pasquale is professional, caring, and expert. She explained everything in detail beforehand. Dr Di Pasquale approached the placement and amount of filler that she injected, like a true artist. The result was so natural! I still looked like myself, only smother and younger. No one could imagine that I had any work done. That is the best compliment !
Dr Depasquale is professional, personable and skilled. I have been seeing her as a client for several years and have always been pleased with the results. She is up to date with her methods and tools. I would highly recommend her.
I have been going to Dr. DiPasquale for approximately 7 years. I have always found her to be extremely competent and informative. Moreover, she has a wonderful "bedside manner." I HIGHLY recommend her!
Each & every experience I have had with Dr. Dipasquale has always been outstanding! She has a wonderful bedside manner that always puts me at ease. She is very helpful in assisting me to make decisions regarding procedures that are appropriate for me. I have & will continue to refer friends & family to her wonderful practice.
Dr DiPasquale is awesome! She listens to you, is thorough in getting your medical history and her offices are clean, plush and feels like a spa! I have been treated by her and referred friends with confidence!
Very welcoming office- Modern, relaxing waiting room, privacy for all patients. Dr. DiPasquale is professional, yet makes you comfortable, explaining procedures and fees all along the way - and does not push for any treatment- unless you feel it is something you want. it is worth a visit-- even if only for a consult.
I highly recommend Dr. DiPasquale for any and all of your non-surgical cosmedic services. She is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and in the know! Truly a competent and skilled doctor. Never double-books!
