Yes, generally facial laser hair removal is considered safe after having squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) removed. Laser hair removal uses concentrated light rather than UV radiation, and there is currently no convincing evidence that it increases the risk of skin cancer. However, given your history of SCC, I would recommend getting clearance from your dermatologist before proceeding, particularly if you intend to treat the area where the cancer was previously removed. Make sure the skin has fully healed and that there are no new or suspicious lesions before having treatment. It's also important to choose a reputable clinic with an experienced laser practitioner and continue attending your routine skin checks.

Hi! I would recommend you wait at least 4 weeks before doing another treatment. You want your skin to fully heal overall. Even though you do not have any redness or swelling on the surface doesn't necessarily mean the deeper layers of the skin have fully healed. Allowing enough healing time between treatments helps the risk of excessive inflammation, changes to pigment and potential scarring.

I would recommend either Neogen or a 1540 fractional laser for your concerns:). Both options provide a non- invasive treatment with great results! Another treatment I would recommend is Morpheus 8 which is minimally invasive. The 1540 laser helps stimulate collagen production while improving crepey skin, fine lines, wrinkles, and overall skin texture. NeoGen uses nitrogen plasma technology to promote collagen remodeling and improve skin firmness and laxity. Morpheus8 combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to penetrate deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates collagen and elastin production, which will help tighten loose skin, improve deeper wrinkles, and create a firmer, smoother appearance. All these treatments can help improve skin quality and the appearance of loose, wrinkled skin without surgery.

Hello, Morpheus8 can be a great option for improving crepey skin, skin texture, and mild to moderate skin laxity. It stimulates collagen and elastin production to help firm, smooth, and tighten the skin over time. Results depend on the treatment area and degree of laxity. You would definitely need to schedule a consultation to assess your concerns and determine the best treatment plan to help you achieve your goals! Hope this helps!

FaceTite treats the lower face and neck. If you have pinchable fat beneath the chin (submental area), radiofrequency energy is used to liquefy the fat before it is removed through liposuction. We can then use the Morpheus8 over the entire lower face and neck which combines microneedling with radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen and elastin production, helping tighten and firm the skin. I would recommend meeting with a provider in person for an assessment to determine if you're a good candidate. At SkinMD, we offer complimentarily consultations to discuss your goals and create a personalized treatment plan!
