When is combining skin treatments like HydraFacial, Diamond Peel and carbon lasers too harsh for sensitive skin?

Doctor's Answers 1

It depends a lot on the facial/peel/carbon laser setting and operator usage, and your skin type.

If your skin is sensitive currently, those are usually not the first line treatments I would recommend, since the hydrafacial uses some gentle peeling skincare, and a proper carbon laser will also cause some exfoliation.

These can worsen your skin sensitivity especially immediately after treatment.

I would encourage undergoing treatment only after your doctor has properly analysed your skin type and skin problem. Please consult your skin doctor!

Is it possible to have laser treatment if I have eczema prone skin?

Thank you for your question. I agree that laser is still an option for you despite your eczema prone skin. The first question is, how stable is your eczema? If it has been well controlled, then you can consider having laser treatments. The next question is, whats your goal for laser treatments? As this will determine your choice of lasers. Hope this helps.

How do I know if I’m having steroid withdrawal symptoms?

Thank you for posting a question. This is a complex question, which warrants proper questioning and examination by a qualified doctor. Any answer we give here will be difficult to answer your question with proper justice. Depending on your weight, 20mg of prednisolone is usually considered low dose and it is usually not expected to have these side effects especially when the course is so short as well. (perhaps you can consider to see a doctor to check if you have other medical problems) Most of your symptoms are non specific, and as such answers will probably be non specific as well.
