Hi, Ive had this problem on my legs (and arms) since I was in middle or high school. Super red and purple and splotchy. the only way to cover it up is with spray tan. The spots you see could be called mottled skin I guess? It gets really bad when Im standing in one place for a little while. My hands and feet dont get cold easily so its not bad circulation, right? My primary care physician hasnt said its anything concerning. Is there anything I can do to improve it?
Hello. I am a 51 year old man who's skin universally has prematurely aged as an unfortunate side effect of a medication. It is particularly bad on the side of my face that I sleep on and crinkly expression lines appear on that side when I smile. Even at rest the skin on this side of my face looks rough. I was wondering whether a resurfacing treatment would help e.g. CO2 laser or phenol. I include a photo of that side at rest and with me bunching up the skin to show the damage.
Recently, after consulting to treat acne scars, I was told that laser treatments can cause vitiligo in patients with vitiligo. What are some safe treatments for acne scars in patients with vitiligo? Additionally, is the V-beam safe for vitiligo patient?
Are there any treatment options for veins close to the eye area? Im extremely self conscious of these veins. Ive been told undereye PRP injections, RF ablation and microneedling will help. Ive tried them all to no avail. Is there anything that can be used this close to the eye that will actually be effective?
I had a Sciton Profractional laser at a depth of 40 micron ablation, 22% density, 7 months ago. It swelled up for months, has been sensitive to heat, and dry air, and now is rigid and pitted. Now when I put on makeup, I have to fill in holes! A dermatologist said maybe dermatitis. I tried elidel for months. I dont think it did anything. It had been red for months, it fluctuates now. My skin barrier is ruined. She only cleaned my skin with a quick swipe of an alcohol swab , and I had a CC cream on! She didnt give me post op printout, just verbal instructions. Ive tried 2 separate week rounds of doxycycline, one week of bactrim, and most recently ENT recommended Kenalog injections. Im so scared to do anything else to the area, because no one can give me an exact cause to all of this.
Im am 48 yo with moderate lipotosis/eye bags. Ive had some success with micro needling + PRP (4 sessions total). Unfortunately lower blephoroplasty is very likely contraindicated due to chronic dry eye. What procedure would yield the best/longest results? TIA.
I've done IPL and feel like it does a decent job with sun damage but am looking for a laser treatment that will get my brown, red spots and help with skin texture. I'm pain adverse and dont like anything that could penetrate and damage fat in the face. What lasers or peels should I do?
