Question

Figured I would post a picture. Will laser take care of this KPRF and how long would the results last? Thx

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

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. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Without a personal examination it is difficult to give the best advice. In general,
Radio Frequency, and laser energy devices as well as chemical peels can tighten the skin and reduce fine wrinkling. Your doctor can council you which is best for your skin type and exam.

Yes, this can be improved with lasers (ProYellow, VBeam, Excel V) and microneedling/prp. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Thankyou for your question , lasers specific for treatment of blood vessels eg Excel v , genesis  should improve your redness including  any visible vessels, background redness without visible vessels  and any flushing you may have to triggers such as heat , spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol, wind, exercise .
It will most likely take multiple treatments ( X3- 5 )spaced approximately one month apart .I would try laser alone before other treatments
