Six months ago, I had mechanical dermabrasion for acne scars. Currently, the skin in the treated area is still slightly red, but I'm concerned about the shiny appearance of the skin. I don't know if this is due to a poorly performed procedure (too deep) or some healing issues, but the fresh skin (or the scar?) is very shiny by the light. The question is whether this will subside over time, or if there's anything I can do about it. I'm interested in both treatments and cosmetics that improve texture. Currently, I only use dermocosmetics with panthenol and SPF 50.
I have scars from picking my skin in the past, acne , and ingrown hairs. I have tried resurfx , coolpeel and microneedling with no real results. Ive also been on tretinoin with very little improvement. These scars are 3 years old. What procedures would work for scars and texture like mean? I dont think medspa procedures are strong enough for me.
Since vibraderm my skin has red bumps, broken veins and a few very small scars. I had sensitive skin but never had rushes like this. Id did use a TNS cream after the procedure but that was suggested. DR. office recommended I should stop it & use a hydrocortisone cream. I have been using a hydrocortisone cream for 1 week but it helps temporarily for color but bumps never goes away. My pours also looks bigger. What should I do? Did I permanently damaged? I never had clogged pours why dr. did it
I've had a red/purple line in my buttcrack for about 10 years. I've seen other doctors about it and and they have said not to worry about it. There is no pain or itching. The only problem is the way it looks really really really really bothers me. If someone could please help me fix this problem I would greatly appreciate it! Thank you so much!
I had micro silicone injections of 0.04 mL into my acne scars a few month ago. I know this is not a lot and there is really no point of removing it, but I no longer want this substance in my face. I have talked to one doctor and he recommended dermabrasion to remove this. Does dermabrasion actually work to remove this ???
Hello I wanted to know if dermabrasion can n done safely for a Blepharoplasty scar? It seems dermabrasion is great for scar revision everywhere else. I understand eyelid skin is paper thin. Any information is greatly appreciated.
I have dimpled/aged looking skin on my chin area that I would do anything to make better. I had terrible skin and cystic acne growing up and for most of my 20s that is finally under control and cured. I am assuming the cystic acne is the cause of this. I am on Tretinoin daily and I get chemical peels and have done 2 micro needling sessions. I have noticed an amazing difference on my skin on my cheeks but not on my chin area. Would dermabrasion or something else help me?
How deep can you go with dermabrasion on a scar from a scar revision on the cheek, which is still uneven ? The scar is like uneven along the incision-line, but otherwise it's looks pretty good! It's narrow and all that! I understand that you don't want to go too deep on acne scar so you don't risk to create scar tissue that wasn't there before. But since surgical scars already ARE scar tissue, I was thinking that you could be able to go as deep as it takes to make it even?
I consulted with a dermatologist on my acne scaring, deeper scars to the right and left of my chin area. I thought a filler would help but he has suggested dermabrasion combined with CO2 Fractional Laser. I am a mid 50's female. I had dermabrasion in my late 20's with good results and had temporary fillers as a follow-up for the deeper scars but discontinued that in my 30's. I feel aging skin makes the scars more noticeable, I just want to be sure this is the right procedure for me. Cost Est. 6K
My hair stylist used bleach to lighten my hair, which I requested not to. She left the hair dye as it was processing on my face and bleached my face. Can I get melanocytes back in these areas and if so, how? I was thinking laying out in the sun which stimulates melanin production. Maybe it would stimulate melanocytes enough to regain my natural color. Is this possible?
