It's been a long time ago, a few years ago when I was in high school I had a big pimple on my nose, although I didn't suffer from acne, after it healed I was left with a small hypertrophic scar, I tried to remove it with a mesoroller but apart from the good result the skin around the scar became uneven, and although the scar is only about a few millimeters I am very uncomfortable with it, I hope that a steroid shot or laser will help me, or maybe all together
I am Asian and have gotten a cluster of these bumps on my nose. I have a tendency to get keloids on my chest from contact with things like necklaces. I think these are the result of me trying a blackhead extractor a year or two ago. I have had Co2 laser on them and they temporarily flattened, but they are back. My dermatologist said that he has seen many people get these, and with repeated co2 treatments they disappear.
Hello, I am interested in having my tiny scar on the bridge of my nose removed, as it is slightly dented. The scar was caused by a dermatologist, as she applied liquid nitrogen on an infection in that spot. Could you please advise what type of laser is suitable for not very dented scars? Tightening of the face would be a huge benefit, too, as, unfortunately, I look older, as it is in the area where wrinkles tend to be formed. Would you recommend a CO2 laser? Thank you, Jane
I feel like the skin on my nose is thick and my pores are huge. My nose easily gets bright red and swells sometimes. Could I benefit from doing CO2 laser on my nose? Also the cartilage on the sides of my nose aren't symmetrical and it makes my nose wider. I don't want a full blown rhinoplasty surgery. Maybe remove some cartilage for a slimmer look. Is that possible? What prices does that range from?
Some days, I like my nose, other days not so much. I hate front photos because it looks really fleshy sometimes. However i've been to see two nose surgeons and both have acted shocked when I say I want my tip more refined - one said 'your cartilage is already close together'. My nose often looks better when weather is cold. Background info: I have rosacea, i'm 22 years old. Is there something that would help make my skin shrink more to my nose frame, think skin out etc? Co2 laser? Please help!
Thank you for your reply about my sebaceous bulbous nose. Possibly Rhinophyma?However, my nose is not distorted (yet); it only seems to have a growing bulb, which is extremely oily (within minutes of washing). Can this still be considered Rhinophyma? Could it be sebaceous hyperplasia or something else? Incidently, last year a plastic surgeon took approximately 2 minutes touching my nose and said the problem was not in my cartilage, but in the flesh. So, in lieu of the fact that the oil bothers be more than the size, is there anything that can solve both? Still wire loop cautery and CO2 laser?
So I just did TCA CROSS today and the dermatologist said linear scars that are on the left side of my nose and what it looks to be enlarged pores/ice pick scars that are on the top of my nose won't get any improved from TCA CROSS and didn't even bother trying on it. He only did it on my temples and cheeks. I found that little weird. I feel like he didn't want to take a risk on my nose. Or if that's true, would CO2 Fraxel help get rid of these scars that are on my nose? Thank you very much!
I had this scar since I was a child after chickenpox and it started to bother me lately . I went to a doctor who told me that co2 fractional laser is the best solution for this . I want to know if the laser could be affective and help me out or no .
