Laser Hair Removal

O-Shot

Spironolactone For Acne

ThermiVa

It would be unusual&nbsp;to have such tightness and fragility only 2 years after menopause. &nbsp;While it's possible and even likely that Thermiva treatments will help, it would be best to have a thorough&nbsp;evaluation by your gynecologist to determine the cause of the condition BEFORE embarking on an expensive course of treatment such a Thermiva.

Age 49, 2 years post menopause. No pregnancies: looseness and laxity NOT my problem! No sex for months due to pain, tightness &amp; tissue fragility, no arousal or lubrication, no orgasm. Would ThermiVa help me? Also: my anal area is very fragile and tears with every BM. I have begun to dread mornings. Two providers told me ThermiVa is not approved for anal use - but if it works to rebuild collagen and thicken vaginal/vulvar tissues why not the anus? Any studies being done? Help please...

Is ThermiVa appropriate treatment for post-menopausal tissue atrophy/vaginal and anal fragility and tearing?

From your picture it appears that your skin and dark hair are reflective of an ethnicity with at least slightly curly and coarse hair. &nbsp;The curl prevents the hair from growing straight out of the follicle when it is trying to regrow&nbsp;after it is shaving, or in this case waxing. The newly grown hair burrows under the skin and causes a "shaving bump" or "folliculitis". &nbsp;The hair is not ON the bump but is WITHIN the bump. These can be resolved with a laser treatment of appropriate wavelength. &nbsp;Prevention of future occurrences will be not to remove the hair so close.

I just had my first brazillian laser removal. After 3 weeks this bumps grew. Like i have 5 of it.It lools like a pimple. At first it is painful and then goes away and the bump would just stay. There is no hair on the bumps. I want to know if it is something i should be worried about. I never had this before. And the my mons pubis gets itchy sometimes.

Is this ingrown hair or folliculitis? (Photos)

WHile progesterone can certainly be helpful in regulating menstrual cycles in women with PCOS, high dosess somewhat&nbsp;could potentially worsen acne because the chemical structure of the molecule is similar to testosterone.

I have pcos and acne . I take spironolactone . Can I take wild yam extract or to eat ? It's rich in progesterone and I also take spirolactone . It's safe or a bad combination ? Thank you

Combination. I take spironolactone. Can I take wild yam extract?

With an adequate local topical anesthetic the treatment should be only mildly uncomfortable - essentially painless.

Is the O-Shot painful?

The&nbsp;Q-switched Yag laser has been found to be&nbsp;very safe on skin of color - especially if skin testing is done prior to facial use. The laser provides cooling of the skin both before and after the laser penetrates; allowing the laser energy to penetrate the pigmented hair follicle without damage to the surface skin. &nbsp;Multiple treatments are required since only actively&nbsp;growing hairs are susceptible during each treatment.

Last tried laser 10 years ago & didn't work. Are there better ones out now? I have on chin like a goatee and I want to have these hairs removed. Electrolysis has not worked for me. Plucking and waxing = ingrown hairs. I even have a little mustache but hairs very light in texture. Who has experience with darker skinned people?

Is there a laser that works on black people? (Photos)

While PCOS occurs in all ethnicities the effects of abnormal hormone production that occurs is manifest most frequently&nbsp;as acne, ingrown hairs, and discolorations in darker skin, or women of color. &nbsp;Often it progresses to a level of a condition known as pseudofolliculitis barbae. &nbsp;Specifically the Nd Yag laser has been approved and is safe and effective in those conditions. &nbsp;That is because the laser energy is attracted to the dark hair follicle pigment while sparing the skin or epidermis. &nbsp;And so the skin does not get burned as it does using other laser frequencies. &nbsp;As a further safety measure we test non-facial skin with various settings of the laser before actually treating the face.

After a visit to the Urgent Care for the Flu...the Doctor noticed my face and recommended laser hair removal, he told me that a specific Laser would work for women diagnosed with PCOS. And to mention it and make sure the technician used the correct Laser, the doctor said using the wrong laser would stimulate the hairs to grow back faster. I don't remember the number or name of the Laser to save my life...can anyone help?? Thanks for feedback about my last question about shaving after treatment!
