Avatar n tn Advance Laser Assisted Liposuction uses a powerful laser to melt the membranes of each fat cell, causing them to break down, so there will be fewer traumas, means faster recovery.
Avatar f tn The honest answer for you for any of the modalities you mentioned is that you willspend a considerable sum of money with very limited, if any results. Skin tightening can be achieved by skin resection, but the scars may be unacceptable. Surgical treatments may range from a tummy tuck to body lift to inner arm lift. You would need to be examined to determine the success of any of these procedures.
Avatar n tn If so, there are a number of treatments available. One very popular remedy has been laser skin resurfacing which helps to minimize the appearance of wrinkles, scars, lines and hyper pigmentation surrounding the eyes and mouth. It can also be used to treat areas on the cheeks. Laser resurfacing does not cause as much discomfort, bruising, scaring or bleeding compared to other cosmetic surgery procedures.
Avatar f tn I had/have rosacea, also, a mild case, that took doctors of several specialties to finally diagnose (I finally went to a big teaching hospital and made appt with the head of the Dermatology Dept). I, too, get the occasional skin tightening, itching and the symptoms come and go at random, no food/drink makes it better or worse. I am sensitive to many things I put on my face, so when I find one that works for me, I stay with it.

Avatar m tn Try laser treatments at your local skin clinic. Here is info from from Australian Skin Clinic… “Laser for redness treatments can help you minimise facial redness and rosacea caused by dilated blood vessels and sun damage.. This quick and non-invasive skin treatment will help diminish imperfections and reveal a clearer, more even complexion. Laser for redness removal works by bio-stimulating the dermal and epidermal levels of the skin with light emissions from a laser.
Avatar n tn Hello, I cannot confirm anything without examination but it might be due to chloasma of pregnancy.It is a tan or dark facial skin discoloration. Although it can affect anyone, melasma is particularly common in women, especially pregnant women and those who are taking oral or patch contraceptives or hormone replacement therapy (HRT). The treatment includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment.
Avatar f tn Recently, my right eye has a feeling of tightening from the corner of the eye. When I look at myself in the mirror and then look upwards, I notice the change in appearance of the skin "pulling". If I pull the skin away from the eye, it feels "good" ... but immediately goes back to the tightening feeling. What causes this sort of thing? Is there a way to stop it from happening?
Avatar n tn As for laser therapy, this may be of use also but look for a dermatologist with a good experience in terms of performing laser procedures. Laser therapy may burn skin and cause discolorations also. Bleaching creams may be used also but with close supervision as this may be abrasive.

Avatar n tn It sounds like you might have some hemosiderin staining--i.e., your skin has been stained by your blood. I had that problem following eye surgery. In some cases, this type of staining can be permanent--but don't worry, I have a solution for you. Google "candela laser" to find the company's website. You'll find a small-scale study in which the AlexTriVantage laser successfully removed "permanent" hemosiderin stains.
Avatar f tn I do also have dark thin line which look like a mustache due to skin pigmentation (i think). When i spread the skin it do not appears but otherwise it looks really awkward. I have used some skin lightening creams but it did not help. How can i get it better. What are the treatments available? Is there any cosmetic or laser treatments are available?

Avatar n tn I recently found that my skin rash, lines, tight dryness, skin fever, hives etc. was due to using a face lotion with Vitamin C. The allergy Dr had me use over the counter cortisone cream and soak in the bath for 20 minutes a day to rehydrate my skin. It worked and it got back to normal. Now I can only use Cetaphyl phase wash and cream. It will go away soon so don't worry.
Avatar f tn But when the same laser is also absorbed by the melanin in the skin, it turns the surrounding skin darker. (They place the laser right on the skin to get the hair, so I have no idea how they can claim the skin woykd not be affected.) Of course, you sign a waiver before doing it, so all of this is just hindsight talking.
Avatar m tnLaser treatment to Cherry Angiomas immediately. We use a long pulsed Nd:Yag laser for this and I would anticipate removal of these in one session with no real issues. Commence Obagi Nu-Derm immediately for the reduction in hyperpigmented areas. The system is a combination treatment of 4% Hydroquinone and tretinoin and should be used for a minimum of 6-12 months. As we discussed, this will cause initial redness and flaking, as both active ingredients are irritating to the skin.
Avatar n tn Hello, There are 5 types of laser hair removal systems. These include pulsed light, Nd YAG laser, diode laser. Alexanderite laser and ruby laser. This depends on the skin type and varies from patient to patient. I suggest you to get an evaluation done from a dermatologist for the skin type and then depending on that, laser hair removal can be decided.
Avatar n tn ve seen different therapies available, but I am not sure which one I should be looking for (i.e. IPL / Fraxel Laser... There were other laser types but I am not sure.) Different places have different treatments and I just wanted to have a better idea what might remove this single flat mole, and cause minimal to no discoloration if removed. Please guide me to the direction and type of professional I should look for.
