For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
Decades before the heavy social media and advertising hype for this or that supposedly "next big thing," here-today-gone tomorrow laser, spider veins and telangiectasias ("broken blood vessels") on the face and around the nose were routinely and inexpensively treated with light electrodessication to close off the blood vessels with excellent results and little in the way of any adverse reactions, other than some redness and/or occasionally tiny crusts at the treatment sites that lasted a couple of days. So, you might wish to consult an experienced, board certified cosmetic dermatologist, rather than some medspa venue, to discuss this before jumping to this or that new, yet-to-be proven gizmo laser. Hope this helps.
The Aerolase Neo would be a great option for hypertrophic scar treatment, especially scars with increased pigment (red in this photo). The Aerolase Neo is approved for treatment on all skin types and for scars such as the one noted in your photo, a series of treatments would be necessary.
No, the Aerolase laser is so gentle that it does not affect fillers in the face. If one is highly concerned, please do the laser treatment first and then follow it with a filler injection. Sincerely, Dr. Andrew K. Choi
Hello, without knowing how your skin responds to either one. It is always safe to do the treatments two weeks apart from each other. I would also consult with the Physician or Nurse that would be performing the treatments. Best Wishes to you,
