You may exercise following Zeltiq, although stretching may be a bit uncomfortable. Swimming is not a problem.&nbsp; Most patients resume all normal activities after Zeltiq.

Hi, I am going to have a Zeltiq session on my lower abdomen this week - I already have a reservation. But, my boyfriend wants to go to the beach this weekend. Will it be okay or possible to swim after having zeltiq done? I also have gym classes that I normally attend where I have to do some active movements, abs or streches. Will I be able to attend these classes as usual? Thank you so much!!!!

Work Out, Gym Classes, Yoga or Swimming After Zeltiq Coolsculpting?

Even patients who are thin may have cellulite.&nbsp; Cellulite is caused by fibrous septa between fat lobules.&nbsp; Zeltiq is not effective for cellulite

Does <a href='/reviews/zeltiq'>Zeltique</a> work for mild <a href='/Cellulite/info'>cellulite</a> reduction? I work out daily, am 5&#39;4&quot; and 110 lbs but still have some cellulite on back of thighs.

CoolSculpting (Zeltiq) for Cellulite Reduction

With the current Zeltiq device adaptors, results are poor with upper arm fat.&nbsp; It is an area of investigation currently being looked at.&nbsp; The best adaptors are not yet available.

Can Zeltiq Cool Sculpting Be Used for Upper Arm Fat?

The age/sun spots you have will not go away with over-the-counter creams.&nbsp; Even prescription bleaching creams do not do a good job of bleaching these spots.&nbsp; Wear a good sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher, broad spectrum) and limit your time in the sun so you won&#39;t get more spots!&nbsp; Laser works best for these.&nbsp; Liquid nitrogen is less expensive and should work.

I am 51 years old and noticed that I have some small to medium size brown spots on arms, chest and legs&rsquo;. My face has 2 very small spots. I have sun bathed mostly the past 10 yrs&hellip;not in my early years. I am currently trying alpha hydrox spot lightener bought OTC but I haven&rsquo;t seen any results from this product. Due to the economy right now, I can&#39;t afford to see a dr.for this so I was wondering if there an OTC cream that&#39;s very effective in removing brown spots from arms, chest and legs?

Is There an OTC Cream That's Effect in Removing Brown Spots from Years of Sun Bathing?

Age Spots Treatment

You should not worry about breastfeeding and having had Juvederm. It is made up of hyalurons, naturally occurring substances in the body. Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been approved by the FDA. Patients who are pregnant or nursing are not normally tested in clinical trials. I personally would not inject a nursing mother but I believe it is safe.

I had juvederm ultra injected in my cheeks a week ago. my dermatologist said that it was safe to breastfeed my baby. i have been breastfeeding my baby for four months and am now learning that this is not approved or safe to do! what should i do now? do i really have to stop breastfeeding?!

1 week after Juvederm I found out it is not safe to breast feed, but I have been. What should I do?

Yes it certainly can. Results are good to very good. You will need multiple treatments but down time is minimal. Most patients resume normal activities in 1-2 days.

Heard a lot about Fraxel laser. Acne is a problem for many people, as well as scarring — can Fraxel treat acne scarring on the face?

Fraxel Acne Scars- Does it Work?

Little white bumps so soon after Fraxel are a follicular obstruction condition. These are sometimes called milia or an acne-like response. It is in the normal range of responses to Fraxel resurfacing. They will resolve as healing progresses as you have noticed. They will not scar. Avoid the temptation to pick them as this may cause scarring.

Numerous small, whitish bumps appeared approximately twelve hours after I underwent Fraxel Restore Treatment, mainly on my chin and lower cheek area. I was wondering what they are and if I could avoid getting them on my next treatment. These things seem to exfoliate as the days go by, but I fear that they might cause <a href="/Scars/info">scars</a>.

Bumps and Blisters Normal After Fraxel Restore?

Neither Dysport nor Botox cause permanent damage. The shape of the eyelids around the eyeball can be affected by the muscles of the eyelids. Too much toxin, improperly placed toxin, or not accounting for patient age or eye shape can result in poor cosmetic outcomes. Take heart that botulinum toxins like Dysport and Botox are only temporary. Your eyes will regain their normal shape within two or three months at the most. The disadvantage of these products is their temporary nature, but in this case, that is an advantage. Best results come with experienced doctors.

Ive read from other women that they have suffered permanent damage as a result of botox or dysport. Is this true? Im very concerned as after dysport I now have a lazy left eye along with a prominent tear trough, my eyes look smaller and piggy like plus my cheeks are slightly dented. It has been 3 weeks now!!

Can Botox or Dysport Cause Permanent Damage? 

In the course of a cosmetic consultation, expections about the procedure, its risks and benefits, and pre and post op care should be discussed as well as realistic expected outcomes.&nbsp; With respect to acne scarring, results with Fraxel are uniformly good to excellent and predictable with little down time for erbium based Fraxel, but for CO2 Fraxel, down time is much more significant and recovery more dramatic.&nbsp; In exchange for a more aggressive approach, improvement is accomplished with fewer procedures.

	The length of the consultation should be individualized.&nbsp; It could be as short as 5 minutes or as long as 30 minutes, depending on the needs of each patient. A 10 minute consultation may be appropriate for many patients, but others may need 20 minutes. The quality of the information is much more important than the quanitity.&nbsp; The consultation should give you enough information, answer your questions, and give you alternative options so that you can make an informed decision about treatment.

I'm a 21 year old white male with acne scars. I went to a reputable Dr., he performs restore and repair.Dr. answered any direct question, but never "volunteered" to go over pre-op/post-op care. I asked what results I could expect and he said "I think Fraxel advertises about 60% improvement." The advice was short, uninformative and most importantly not personalized. The consultation was 10 minutes long. Is this what I can expect from most practices? Could my age have played a factor?

In Regards to Fraxel: Are Free Consultations Always Brief and Not Very Thorough?
