I am 31 and was burned with second degree blisters by a physician going too aggressive on an IPL laser. My skin is orange peelish with large pores, hyperpigmented In large spots, thinner looking, and premature wrinkles. All the things I was trying to prevent, it seemed to age me 10 years. Is there any creams, treatments, procedures (scary thought to do it again)you would recommend to correct?Ive heard of a girl having to do tattoo makeup to cover her IPL hyperpigmentation. What are my options?
Hi - I have a type IV delayed hypersensitivity reaction to Lidocaine and after testing with an allergist have found I am allergic to lidocaine. I had one IPL photofacial and I love the photofacial results but the one IPL I had a few years ago resulted in the worst rash ever. Any alternatives to lidocaine cream? I found the treatment was very painful even with it.
i have a lot of acne on my face. What ever the creme i use,makes my face too dry or too oily and as a result,i get more acne. Recently ive heared about IPL laser ... But i dont know if it is suitable for me and i will get good results or not...
I had one round of ipl for some brown/red spots on my legs and it did absolutely nothing...this was at a laser spa center and not performed by a doctor...I don't even know if the person used the correct settings and/or correct laser for the type of marks on my legs..several of the marks are more reddish due to me using hydroquinone cream to get rid of brown marks scars that were left over from an eczema outbreak, the hydroquinone cream burned my skin, peeled off and left redness......
I have been prescribed multiple creams for my keratosis pilaris rubra. Most recently I have been using a Retin-A cream (I believe tretinoin?) It has helped drastically with the bumps but not the redness. I have been using this religiously for 3-4 months. I also use a prescription cream with 2% salicylic acid and another with 20% urea. Both have a low dosage of hydrogen cortison in them. The KP is very bad on my arms and mild on my face (cheeks). Will another cream help with this? IPL? Pulse Dye?
Hi, I have been using topical steroids for eczema since I was a child. I have recently noticed broken capillaries on my face and having seen a dermatologist she mentioned it was probably down to my steroid use. I am looking to have IPL to get rid of these broken veins, however someone mentioned to me that I must not use the steroid creams from 3 months prior to treatment. Is this the case?
I have brown Spots on my face and I did all the facial peelings,used bleaching creams and I did an IPL TREAT at the Celebration Cosmetic Surgery but my face is the same and it looks like I had more HYPERPIGMENTATION before my treatment? So I didn't not go back for the 3rd IPL TREATMENT. So what can you suggest to help me out! Can I do a CRYOSURGERY TREATMENT TO FREEZE THE HYPERPIGMENTATION?
