Hello, I'm hoping someone can help. I have broken capillaries on my cheeks and one on my nose. The ones on my face are matted. I went to a dermatologist and her medical aesthetician did a BBL treatment. I returned 3 weeks later for a 2nd treatment, but since no improvement, went with Excel V. Then 6 weeks later had ExcelV #2 (7J, 10mm, 10ms), then #3 (7.4J, 10mm, 8ms), then #4 (8.4J, 10mm, 8ms). Don't know settings for #1 or 2. Med aesthetician did all treatments. Has over 20yrs exp.
I had a global treatment using the Cutera Excel V across my cheeks about 2 months ago. The nurse mentioned it was an aggressive treatment and it hurt like hell. Since treatment, my skin has been more blotchy, but what bothers me most is there is a line of dark dots that I never used to have across my cheeks, and white blotches here and there. Is it possible for this treatment to cause hyper or hypopigmentation? I have very fair skin with red undertones and freckles. Thankyou for your help.
Im actually sobbing right now because I dont know what to do. I need professional help. I am Asian and I got Excel V to lighten and get rid of the freckles and sun spots on my face. Within 24 hours, the spots on my face got dark and elevated. They have come off. At day 10, on my forehead, I have these zebra marks where the scabs came off! It is SO pronounced and I have no idea what to do! My doctor gave me a prescription lightening cream to put on my forehead but I dont want to! Im scared!
Ive had 4 Excel Laser V treatments for redness- Before & after photos show no improvement. Ive swelled significantly after each Tx so not an issue of it not being turned up enough.Today my Dr told me if its not working shes not going to continue taking my money. I did a series of IPL treatments years ago, and use SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum in the AM and Skin Science AlphaRet night cream now. Is there anything else I can do for the redness if the XLV didnt work (laser, peel...?)
I have a pattern of raised (swollen) areas in linear pattern. I am wondering if this is a normal presentation? Will my skintone remain this irregular? I have paid for 3 treatments and wondering if this is to be expected?
Treatment ~30 hours ago. Top right of redness, the skin feels almost a like a blister does. No liquid. It just has that very thin fragile feel to it. I iced it a bit this morning. What are those creams? How about Arnica? This is my second treatment. I was very happy with the first abut a month ago. We were just finishing off the stragglers.
I had normal expected swelling of the treated area for next 3 days. Day 4 & 5 (today) the entire left side of my face is swollen, not just eye area. Is this normal? Thank you.
Two days ago I underwent my first Excel V treatment for telangiectasia, which was fine. After the procedure (first of 3), my dermatologist discussed also considering Fraxel laser for some acne scarring, enlarged pores, and general redness. I would have my first Fraxel treatment two weeks from now. Then, my *second Excel V treatment* about two weeks after that. My question: is this normal? She assured me it's fine to intersperse the two procedures with one another, but it seems odd to me.
