I have blotchy upper arms but no bumps. Is there a treatment out there that would help reduce the redness like IPL or a chemical peel? Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Answer: Recommend doing IPL or Vbeam to diffuse redness. If there is texture, do a chemical peel as well Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring.

Answer: Blotchy arms From your photo it would appear you have a condition called Keratosis pilaris (KP). This is a chronic annoying condition but benign. There are several ways to treat this. You should start with a good exfoliant cream or wash that contains AHA/BHA or urea. IPL will treat the redness. Chemical peels and light laser resurfacing will also help in some cases.

Answer: Blotchy red skin on the upper arms It appears that you have a hereditary condition known as keatosis pilaris, a harmless but annoying inflammation around the hair follicles often of the upper arm, thights and buttocks. IPL will take the red out, but the easiest home solution is the consistent use of an alpha hydroxyl moisturizer between 5 and 15% daily after your shower or bath (Amlactin, Neostrata or others).

Answer: IPL Just from looking at your photo it looks like a combination of the appropriate jessner peel + a series of IPL treatments would do the job. There are additional treatments such as laser resurfacing with either erbium or CO2 that could also be helpful
