I had two BBL and Halo treatments since the last October but I don’t see any results in treating my fine wrinkles or sun damage or even my melasma! My skin type is 4- I’m middle eastern and nothing is working for me? Any specific treatment please?
Answer: Clear & Brilliant is a great treatment in treating melasma, fine lines, and wrinkles. Combine with a Cosmelan peel Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Customization is the key to a successful treatment! Thank you for your question and I am sorry you haven’t seen positive results thus far. Treating your skin tone requires a very customized approach, so unless the doctor you work with is a laser expert with a wide range of device options, it will be challenging for you to see the improvement you want. In my office, I work with more than 50 laser and light devices, which allows me to produce superior results for all of my patients, regardless of skin tone. That said, I might recommend a pico-second laser for you to address your melasma and rejuvenate your skin. Find a board-certified dermatologist with the experience and expertise necessary to tailor your treatment for an optimal outcome.

Answer: Hyperpigmentation -- Clear+Brilliant/Venus Viva, Chemical Peels, Cosmelan, Salt Facial, Aerolase YAG, Hydroquinone you likely have genetic hyperpigmentation and melasma that needs internal hormonal optimization as well (see dr jill stocker in our practice at jasonemermd.com see "about" she does virtual consultations for internal antigaingh and IV glutathone therapy as hormonal changes in women can really affect pigmentation). But you truly need peels like cosmelan and enlighten (see link to emeragecosmetics.com where we do free virtual skincare cosults daily and at home virtual peels). halo and BBL will not help this type of pigmentation and stronger lightening creams and a better skincar regimen are needed -- vitamin c, phyto plus, vivatia foam, faith essenace serum, and restorsea 10x.
