Studies have shown that petroleum jelly has been equal to or outperformed all ointments including expensive "scar ointments" like mederma as well as antibiotic ointments. It is the least expensive and the most effective choice. Some people don't like to put petroleum jelly on their body for other reasons and that is understandable. However from a healing standpoint it remains one of if not the best option.

This is easily performed by a board certified dermatologist in the office under local anesthesia. The procedure often does not require sutures and there are no limitations to activity

Fillers to shape the nose can be done very successfully however after rhinoplasty it is important that you haven't experienced injector to avoid necrosis in the area. This is only for expert injectors

In my office we use local numbing for tattoo removal with a shot of lidocaine. This does Not interfere with the effectiveness of the laser. The laser targets ink and not water.
