Recent Answers
Why do I get poor results after fractional CO2 lasers for acne scars (photo)?
Hi, acne scars are difficult problems to solve to start with. Expectations are important to manage. Most will require multiple treatments with the laser. Assessment of the scar to see if it is stretchable or fixed in depth is important in deciding the type of treatment to use. Most treatments can achieve a 30-50% long-term improvement. I always advise patients to use the non-ablative lasers first and to control active outbreaks.
How can I tell the difference between rashes and allergies (photo)?
Hi, it can be difficult to differentiate between contact dermatitis and endogenous eczema (body rashes) without a proper clinical history. It is best to consult your doctor and take a history of the contact exposure of the skin at home, work and hobbies. Common contact dermatitis include nickle, rubber and dyes. The important point is the the history of exposure.
How long after an Aptos thread lift can I go for radio frequency treatments?
Hi, about two months after the thread insertion. This is to allow any swelling or complications from the procedure to subside before another skin treatment.
