QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Deep nasolabial fold on the right side. What's the best treatment?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
This question is difficult to answer without an evaluation.  This type of problem may be addressed with filler in the nasolabial fold or cheek.  In an evaluation, the injector can manipulate the area in different positions to see which type of treatment would be the best for your face type.

Should my skin still have dark spots two months after treatment with liquid nitrogen? (Photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Unfortunately, some people can heal with dark marks or hyperpigmentation after liquid nitrogen.  This type of reaction is impossible to predict.  In almost all cases, these marks will fade over time.  You can speed this process with the addition of a fade cream.  For this type of discoloration retinol and hydroquinone (or a combination of the two) is a good choice.

I want to stop furrowing my brows when I squint. Is Botox good for this?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Great question! Botox is the best treatment for treatment of furrowing.  It is actually facial muscles in the area which causes this effect.  Botox weakens these muscles to soften and even eliminate this angry looking effect.  I think you will be very pleased with this type of treatment.  Good luck!

I want to know if it a good idea to get filler under cheek bones?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
As we ago, we loose volume or fullness in the mid face area.  Fillers in the cheek area can offer great benefit and improvement.  Fillers commonly used in this are Perlane, Sculptra and Radiesse.  Out of the three I prefer Perlane.

What is wrong with my skin? Should I do a chemical peel? (photo)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
It appears that you have some scarring from your previous acne.  Peels can help, but usually just the stronger type of peel (eg. TCA).  In my experience you would be wasting your money on milder peels (glycolic or salicylic acid) or microdermabrasion.  Another option is laser resurfacing.  You should see a Dermatologist in your area to discuss treatment options.

Can a botox brow lift separate eyebrows that are too close together? (photos)

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Botox in the glabellar (frown) area weakens the eyebrow depressor muscles (which bring the eyebrows down and in).  Treatment can definitely lift the eyebrows, but its effects on the spacing of the eyebrows is minimal in my experience.

Injectable fillers for midface hypoplasia/flat cheekbones? Can I get cheek implants later?

Asked By:AnonymousANSWERS (1)
Fillers are great treatment options to a more invasive implant surgery.  Fillers used in the area are commonly Radiesse and Perlane (which is in the same family as Restylane).  Radiesse lasts longer and can actually stimulate new collagen growth.  Neither should preclude you from implants as an option in the future.
