652407 tn?1300737199 Hello, I am not very sure of the efficacy and the related side effects of these tattoo removal creams but laser removal although expensive has been found to be the best treatment for tattoo removal. Another technique is Intense Pulsed Light Therapy. It is dermal enhancer in which instead of laser light, it uses high intensity light. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.
Avatar n tn Question - I get laser tattoo removal treatments every 6-8 weeks and pre-treatment the technician uses an ice roller (looks like a lint-roller but the roller is cold metal) and rubs it on the tattoo and does this again after the laser is performed. Because the laser can cause pinpoint bleeding I am concerned that she didn't sanitize the roller before she rubbed it on my tattoo (which was bleeding). Is there any risk here? Thank you for your answers.
Avatar m tn I also had tattoo laser removal and after my second treatment developed this rash. Initially it was around my tattoo and is still the main affected area, however it spread through across my body. I have seen a dermatologist nearly every month for the past 8 months and we have tried creams steroids anti histamines etc and nothing seems to be working! I've even had biopsy done on the affected areas. My dr is left scratching his head and I'm obviously still not permanently treated!
Avatar n tn I m lookin for another tattoo removal here where i live and that uses a more new laser. I know the laser that this place I was going use is very very old, but is a Q-switched (at least I belive so). I m going to another place that uses the medc6. Please any advices on this will be helpful, I really want the pink/red pigementation to go away even if it turns white, I prefer white than red, but today is 2 weeks from de procedure and it is still here.

Avatar n tn Has an ophthalmologist recommended removal with a laser? This is usually in the conjunctiva and can easily be removed with scissors in the office.

475300 tn?1312423126 I say try to learn to live with it... or maybe have it removed with a laser? If cost is an issue for you, I think there are low-cost or free services available for people who can't afford the laser treatments... Just my take, but I am very afraid of the tattoo connection to HCV...
Avatar n tn I've been calling around, and I finally found a dermatology office that was willing to talk about prices. It was like pulling teeth, but an assistant eventually agreed to read to me from their billing schedule. First of all, an office visit costs $125, and nothing happens until you've had a consultation first, so that means $250 for the consultation plus the visit where the procedure is done.
Avatar n tn Laser will take it off , I had a port wine stain and laser removes it , yours sounds like a large area so better ask a dermatolagist the cost,
Avatar m tn Of course laser scar removal can be used on the genitals to treat scars since laser removal is commonly used in removing warts caused by HPV. From my personal experience, laser therapy is not bad at all and involves very little pain after a session of laser treatment although the pain might be a little annoying when the treatment begins (it feels like bacon grease that occasionally splashes up and hits you in the wrist when you're cooking; nothing too painful).
Avatar m tn t think I would have gotten a better result with laser-assisted, at least not worth its cost. It was a higher out of pocket cost than for the premium toric lens which was $1333 out of pocket. With insurance, the basic surgery and basic lens costs ended up only around $350 for my part of the cost in comparison.
1178131 tn?1282654819 Did you ladies hear from any docs if it is harmless to do some electrolysis or Laser? which method is more harmless, and more effective, more cost efficient, and less painful?
988694 tn?1332359479 The response, success and cost of these laser treatments depends on the melanin deposits and the area involved. For this it is best to discuss it with your dermatologist. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
1123156 tn?1338863369 Never tried that. I was just at my laser hair removal appointment and they had a machine their for microdermabrasion. Is that one word? Anyway, she said they also use that machine to reduce the appearance of stretch marks. I didn't ask how much it cost but that's an option anyway :) GOOD LUCK and GOD BLESS!!
Avatar n tn But if it does not, then corticosteroid injections and surgical removal by scalpel or laser are done by a dermatologist. It then has to be differentiated from other mucocutaneous lesions also. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your dermatologist. I sincerely hope that helps.

Avatar m tn using the femtosecond laser for incision, corneal reshaping, cataract fracture and capsulorhexis is an extra cost.
Avatar n tn i need some information on scar removal and its expenses. where can i get help how much does it cost i just need an approximation and idea what it would be long and how long it will take.
Avatar f tn If this were my kid, I'd talk to her about what it takes to laser off a tattoo. Maybe even have her talk to a dermatologist. (Lasering works, but it is said to be pretty painful, and of course this would be elective so means it would cost her some bucks if she ever changes her mind. And if she did change her mind about having it, it would likely be after she is 21, and out of her purse to pay for the removal.
Avatar f tn The femtosecond laser (cost to physician $500,000) is a fantastic new instrument. The cost disadvantage is huge as there are no studies that show that in large propsective studies it improves the final result. Studies have shown it makes a more precise incision (less likely to leak), a perfect opening in the anterior capsule (capsulorhexus), can be used to reshape the cornea to eliminate cornea astigmatism, and can fracture hard cataracts making them easier and safer to remove.
Avatar f tn So I looked up ways to remove a tattoo and the safest and most reliable way is laser treatment but that still won’t completely get rid of the tattoo. There is also a risk of infections and stuff like that. I really want a tattoo though, it looks cool. Thoughts/Advice?
Avatar n tn I had a catarac removal and received a crystalens. I have a lot of eye pressure and am seeing blurred distance. It makes me feel dizzy. This procedure was done 5 months ago. The dr. has no solution but to wear a contact and then wear glasses for reading. The cost was $2,100. What a waste. Do you have any suggestions. Thanks...
Avatar m tn i tried to used papaya and strawberry scrubs for dead cell removal in hope of better results,but that too failed.please help me.thank you for your kind consideration.
