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?
I am getting under eye + cheek filler soon. However I'd like to also get another IPL or two this fall/winter. Will the heat from the IPL melt the filler? Especially under my eyes where the skin is really thin and the filler doesnt go as deep? Filler choices: Voluma for cheeks and Restalyne for under eyes.
I am wondering if getting a IPL treatment in my eye area will enlarge these veins or make them more obvious? I know IPL doesn't treat these veins but I wouldn't want them to become more obvious with the treatment. My skin is quite thin and sensitive.
Consulted with derms and surgeons that say issue is above orbital bone, can't inject fillers. I had filler put as close as possible to the bone, improved contours, but didn't improve undereye skin. I get disport that helps crows feet, but not undereye skin. I use retinoid eye cream. Recommended Sciton Halo Hybrid Fractional Laser. It's new with little/no reviews other than from co. Does anyone have experience with this or other HFL laser? Other recommendations? IPL, laser, fat graft, implant?
I've been struggling with hyperpigmentation, and I am thinking about going for IPL treatment for this. But I was told by my aesthetician/facialist that I have a 'thin' skin and that I should not do any laser treatment on my face. And by doing laser, it will make my skin even thinner and that I should stick with a less aggressive treatment. Is this true?
I have been using desonide cream on my face for a few years. I do not use the cream everyday but only a couple of times per week. It appears that the use of this cream has thinned my skin resulting in a few broken capillaries. I am considering an IPL treatment to help with that issue and with some brown acne scars. However, I am worried that I can have a negative reaction to the IPL due my long term use of desonide. Is it safe to get an IPL treatment after long term desonide use?
