What treatment is best for my sun damaged chest full of brown and red spots and some wrinkles that I believe are mostly claused by side sleeping but are now permanently showing. I've gotten different advise from practitioners: from combining ipl and vbeam to Halo or Fraxel. Not sure what route to go. Please advise. Thanks
Is it normal to have red bumps (looks like rashes for acne without the cyst or pus) after Halo Hybrid Laser? Will these bumps leave scars when it goes away and when will it go away and how can I get rid of the red bumps? Will the treatment continue to fade my aging spots even if I still see it on Day 5 of treatment?
I had a Halo/BBL/Scion laser procedure (under eyes) 6 days ago. I used the recommended Aquaphor for a couple of days then switched to Cetaphyl and Epionce medical barrier cream. I have so many areas of red, itchy, scaly, dry, patchy skin with milia and bumps - almost like a road rash appearance. The chin area is the worst as is my forehead. My dermatologist feels this is normal. Are there any other products/regimens I could try? I completed the ten day round of Mupirocin ointment and valtrex.
I had a Halo treatment yesterday on my whole face. Post treatment yesterday, and now today, my face is only a little red, but I'm not experiencing peeling, flaking or brown spots like others describe. While I'm glad that I'm not having drastic side effects, it is making me wonder if I wasn't provided with a deep enough treatment. I've read on here that deep treatments will have more downtime, so I'm worried that my Halo treatment wasn't aggressive enough to provide me with significant results.
I had the Halo laser 4 weeks ago to treat some melasma from having 4 babies. After the treatment I was red and swollen for over a week. I was prescribed hydrocortisone for 2 weeks. I am still a bright red-brown color, and it looks to me like my melasma is a lot worse and has spread. My doctor said that some people take longer to heal than others, and I should end up with a good result. Can this be true? At what point should I be concerned?
I believe that the nurse did more passes on the left side of my face, she promises she did the same on both sides & blames the reaction on that being my driving side so it gets more sun exposure. The left side of my face was SO swollen afterwards....it is still red and a little swollen 2 months out. I was told it would be a 3 day recovery time. She prescribed bleaching cream about a month ago, then told me not to use, then prescribed hydrocortisone cream last week. Will my face ever heal???
Im 43- fair to medium skin tone. 5 weeks after Halo laser Im still red/ brown with lots of hyperpigmentation appearing. Was on prescription cortisone cream for 2 weeks but it gave me bad acne. How will this persistant inflammation affect me long term? Im scared. Ive always been diligent with my skin and Im so sad. How should I be treated now? Whats the best/worst I can hope for? Please advise me.
