My skin looks rough. I do not have acne and my skin is pretty clear. I'm 26 but my skin looks old and dull. Idk if it's the discoloration or my dark circles but my skin does not look nice. Help! What procedure works on asian skin? I was told to stay away from CO2 for my skin tone. I'm looking to brighten my skin, even out skin tone and soften my skin. Maybe microneedling?

Answer: Best lasers for treating Asian skin Thank you for your question and photo. I have treated numerous Asian patients for a variety of skin concerns, including uneven texture and tone. I often recommend RF microneedling, since it produces very good results without the risk of hyperpigmentation. However, pulse dye lasers like the Vbeam and pico-second lasers like the PicoWay can also be safe and effective choices for Asian skin. I encourage you to find a board-certified dermatologist with expertise in treating ethnic skin tones like yours. Through an in-person assessment and frank discussion of your concerns and goals, your physician should be able to customize a treatment that achieves excellent results with minimal risk involved.

Answer: Facial Rejuvenation -- PRP/Microneedling, Laser (Fraxel/Clear+Brilliant, Halo/Erbium/Co2), cosmelan, Fractora/Morpheus For fa at home peels and mirorolling would be great for you now and regular maintenance, but halo or fraxel every 3-4 months does great for younger clients. For facial rejuvenation, I would suggest a combination approach of 1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling 2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors 3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium 4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill 5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting 6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest 7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin 8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months) Best, Dr. Emer.
