I have been using tretinoin 0.1 gel on my thighs, face and chest. My skin became flaky and started to peel. I scraped the peel off and was left with sticky and shiny skin. Not that my skin was oily but was hella glassy. The next time I applied tretinoin I woke up with crazy itching and redness. I want to ask if this is normal and if not will it cause scarring or hyperpigmentation?
I have recently been badly scarred by Pixel8 RF Microneedling. I have done 2 CO2s with some change but not much. Parts almost look like acne scarring and my chin is mangled a Dr recommended Ozone injections. Any knowledge or experience with these would be so extremely helpful. Thank you in advance
Hi, I am scheduled for a PRP with microneedling soon, but wanted to make sure that there is no risk of fat or volume loss with this procedure as there is with HIFU and RF treatments. Also wanted to make sure there is no risk of scarring. Thank you!
Ive had 5 microneedling sessions for scarring each 4-8 weeks apart. The results have been moderately positive. The last few sessions I had light TCA peels between microneedling appointments and saw more improvements. I was wondering, though, if microneedling is like TCA peels where I should eventually take a break and let my skin rest. My treatments havent been done by medical professionals and obviously theres a profit motive, so Id love to hear from a dermatologist. Thank you!
Nose never stop crumbling, especially on my nose. Have seen over 5 dermatologist but not getting anywhere. Was told I have seborrheic and rosacea but my face doesn't respond to treatments; doxy, finacea, nizoral, plant stem cell moisturisers. etc. All oil free moisturisers seem to exasperate it. My nose pores are now scarred/joined. Is there any home of improving my nose texture, I understand not while I am flaring. What do you think could be going on? The texture is getting really bad. I use a gentle soap free cleanser.
I was attacked by two pitbulls on 6/14/18. I have no insurance and I am terrified that waiting on lawyers & stuff is going to make scarring harder to treat. Will microneedling help? Can I do it at home? What can I do at home that will help? Also why does it feel like hard little pimples where the scars are at. Thank you.
I have very poor skin appearance and texture on my legs - mainly the backs of the thighs and calves. As can be seen in the photos there is: excess scarring from previous ingrown hairs from shaving poor skin laxity thread veins keratosis pilliaris I am confused as to whether a combination of micro needling / exilis / fraxel laser / PRP would be most suitable, and whether these would be suitable for large areas such as the legs? Any further advice would be appreciated.
