Laser skin resurface
Common Questions and Answers about Laser skin resurface
laser
A technique that involves using a beam of high-energy light to cut away the upper surface of the skin. The procedure is very precise, although the laser focus can be adjusted to resurface larger areas. It also stimulates both blood supply and collagen production - the support network for skin tissue. Just be aware that it can take about 10 months for collagen to regenerate, so don't expect to see the finished results until then.
t find the post, so here goes again. A couple of years ago I noticed warts on my anus, I thought they were skin tags so I did nothing about it. Eventually I had them checked, they were warts and I had them removed and was put on Aldara. I used what my dermatologist gave me but I had no insurance so I never actually filled the prescription.
The warts came back months later.
Hi, I was diagnosed with HPV with severe cervical dysplasia when I was 19 (I am now 34). My gyno followed the usual treatment (I believe it was laser surgery, I can't remember what it was called). He had a really hard time getting rid of it and I was sent to an oncologist/gynocologist where I was treated with laser surgeries, acid washes, cone biopsy until finally at 26 I had a normal pap. I have been relatively normal since.
It could be unrelated as your doctor states. HPV usually returns to the same region if it's going to resurface. By the way healthy life style changes have shown the ability to reduce the virus to undetectable amounts in two years.
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.
d say your dose was too low to stop acne but would have little effect on an existing cyst. There are natural DHT blockers. One is called Saw Palmetto. Laser treatment can resurface the skin & get rid of scars. However it would take multiple treatments. A surgeon could also perform Dermabrasion (not to be confused with microdermabrasion). It is possible Dermabrasion could remove the oil glands if done deep enough.
I decided to manually remove an innocuous papule on the underside of my penis with a finger nail clipper. Notwithstanding the worst decision of my life, the process left a small atrophic / indentation scar. B/c of its location, being just a little left of center and near the head of my penis, I'm worried. It's been 4 months since this happened and it hasn't gone away, although it's no longer red. What options do I have?
The treatment for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment.Apply hydroquinone cream on this scar and it should go away in a few days to months.If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion. Avoid picking, harsh scrubbing, and abrasive treatments unless prescribed by a dermatologist during this period.
Hope it helps.
I have small hard calcium deposits under my skin on my face located in the area under my cheek bones.
I went to a Dermatologist and he removed about 7 on each side by probing with a needle to lift them out. He then showed them to me and they appeared to be tiny hard stones. When I run my fingers over the area I can feel them, but they are under the skin. Any suggestions on how to get rid of them?
I have used TCA, glycolic peels, hydroquinone, tretioin, kojic, bit nothing has reduced it. Recently i heard that yag laser can be used for depigmenting skin by destroying melanin cells itself, and in a way cause hypopigmentation in these regions.
Can I do this. Please advice the type of laser, etc.

Hi. I have been experiencing skin rashes and itchiness for the past seven years and I have no idea what triggered this problem. Whenever I start to feel the itchiness, I take a cetrizine tablet and then the problem will subside for 2 to 3 days, after which it resurface. I have been living with this for years taking anti-histamines every 2-3 days and all the doctors I consulted have been giving similar kind of medications with no permanent solutions.

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).

s looks like my chin is bleached. Will my natural brown skin color come back? How long will it take for me to recover from this? Is this permanent? I'm worried and scared. It's horrible. Is there a different product I could use to even out skin? I need help. ASAP. Thanks.

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.
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?

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.
