How can I prevent wrinkle lines on the forehead if I am already beginning to see some appear?

Doctor's Answers 1

Hi,

Forehead wrinkles are dynamic wrinkles or expression wrinkles due to to excessive contraction to the underlying frontalis muscles.

If they are just appearing, you can just opt to let it be.

When they become more pronounced and bother you, then consider botox injections.

Botox injections weaken the muscle activity and helps improve the dynamic wrinkles temporarily (4-6 months).

Hope this helps!

Is subcision or excision more effective for chicken pox scars? (photo)

The choice of scar revision technique depends on a few things, uncluding: 1. The type of scar 2. The location of the scar You appear to have an atrophic box-like scar just above the brow. Excision of scars can be done with good reduction of scar appearances, but I would, in this case, recommend a trial of subscisions combined with (careful) filler placement and laser resurfacing. I suggest the above for a few reasons: 1. The scar, when excised, will need to be sutured back for primary healing.

Is laser treatment effective for getting rid of small and skin-coloured bumps on my skin? (photo)

Most of the bumps on your picture appear to be little keratotic growths of the skin. These are indeed effectively removed by lasers which can carefully singe them off. Other growths, such as sebaceous hyperplasia, syringomas, milia seeds, etc can also be effectively removed with the appropriate lasers. These growths aren't caused by clogged pores; they're usually due to age, UV exposure, or just regular overgrowth of certain components of the skin. Exfoliation and acidic toners/retins can help to reduce the occurrence of these growths but will not get rid of the existing ones. Cheers!
