Hello, I have a question. I have suffered from severe acne and took Accutane twice for over 2 years until I was 20. Now, at 31, my skin still has post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) and is always red, which bothers me the most. When I laugh, my entire face turns red like a tomato. Ive tried many skincare routines recommended by doctors, along with microneedling and two sessions of fractional laser. What laser treatment (such as Vbeam) would you recommend, and what skincare routine should I follow?
During the procedure I was told that my skin wasn't responding as expected.. No reaction until the highest setting. There still isn't bruising, but there is redness and a lot of swelling. Is this normal? Did I make my scars worse permanently? When can I expect results?
My dermatologist recommended I get V beam for the visible veins on my face. I am 22 y/o, but have very thin/fair skin. Above having visible veins, I also have dark under eye circles and marks on my cheeks from acne. My acne is small hard bumps on cheeks and forehead which prevent my skin from feeling and looking smooth, even with foundation (hard sebum filled comedones). I am debating getting V beam or IPL to diminish visible veins (and maybe under eye circles) and the acne/acne marks?
I want to do a pulsed lye laser to treat redness after 3 weeks later of mechanical dermoabrasion, what other treatments can I do to obtein improvent?, which laser is better or best do microneedling with or not RF, thanks.
Not uncommon among Muslims to get this from extensive praying. It's not hard or different texture, just darkened color. Would something like applying glycolic acid at home help or are lasers required? Is PDL the right choice then or what would be?
