Avatar f tn I wrote a few weeks back..44 yrs old, lost 25lbs about 6 1/2 yrs ago, immediately joined a gym and toned up, was lucky and did not have any excess hanging skin. Fastforward to this past summer. Since mid july my skin has now lost elasticity in my arms, my back, my upper and lower legs and my stomach area. I believe it is starting in the chin/jaw area now too. Went to doctor, she says it's genes, old age and sun damage.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar n tn 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. Also, procedures such as micro dermabrasion and chemical peels only remove thin layers of skin.

Avatar m tn Hello, The Vbeam produces a laser light that can be absorbed by the red pigment in the skin. The Vbeam laser works in combination with the Cool Touch laser and with a substance called Levulan. While the Vbeam laser removes red from acne scar tissue, the Cool Touch laser tightens the skin from the inside out. But this requires more than two sittings to take effect. So you should follow up with your cosmetologist and get it done in multiple sittings.
Avatar f tn It probably does take an herbal supplement longer to work than other medicines. Don't know anything about those supplements, though. A luxating patella is not easy to cure, I think usually surgery is tried if someone is willing to go to such lengths. Maybe those will ease the situation. My vet uses a laser and it seems to work. Maybe you could call around and see if any of your local vets have a laser system.
Avatar m tn m suffering from the same..does it spread...but the part of skin where the darkening had happened is sore and creates burning sensation is it common...?
Avatar f tn Permanent removal of hair usually takes more than one session so i would have faith in the dermatologists who told you the hair and skin will be fine after this trauma. Does the laser clinic offer an after-care service? He should definately make them aware of his bad reaction.
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 n tn Has anyone tried laser treatment of the lesions? Does it work? Is there anyother medication that will help? I read a study about Complement C4 deficiency and HLA homozygosity in patients with constant HSV1. Is there anything I can do that will boost my C4 and HLA production which will hopefully help me fight this thing. Does anyone know anything that will help? I am ready to check out because of this terrible thing. Someone please help.
Avatar m tn I also have an appointment with a surgeon on Feb 5th to discuss the laser and possibly even do it that day. To mentally prepare myself, what would you suggest?
Avatar n tn The treatment for post inflammatory hyperpigmentation includes various skin creams like hydroquinone, azelaic acid, corticosteroids, tretinoin cream and laser treatment. If it still persists then you can go in for laser treatment, Chemical peeling or microdermabrasion. 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.
Avatar n tn thats your muscles and your skin tightening and the the baby is positioning it self in a downward position for delivery
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 n tn Also, it is common to have a skin allergy to vitamin A as well so totally stop using anything with vitamins and herbs in it. I tried that too to fix my rash and allergy induced "old" looking skin and it didn't work. It just made it worse. Cortisone cream, Cetaphil cleanser and lotion, bath soak. That's it. In a week you'll be back to normal. http://www.google.com/products?
Avatar n tn Around 8 years ago I noticed that I was starting to get dark spots on the left side of my face most prominently near my mouth. Throughout the years these spots kept multiplying and getting darker and again this is only on one side of my face. My dermatologist told me this was an actual condition where hyper pigmentation occurs only on one side of the body. Note that I was only 12 years old when I stated noticing this.

Avatar n tn I am quite wealthy so money is not a problem.I have been reading about cryosurgery and laser surgery.Would any of that help to lighten my skin by a shade or two.Any suggestions or comments are highly appreciated.
Avatar n tn so if doctors can get taken in im sure i can. i also have scalp psoriasis which encroaches in small patches at the edges. would laser work or would i be allowed to have laser done with that condition?. i get psoriasis because i dont leave the house and my diet can be very unhealthy. i can also do a diet that clears the psoriasis and would it be wise to have no psoriasis before trying laser again. i would really appreciate any help you can give me.
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 f tn Ftm. 32 weeks. When I over work myself, which is pretty easy to do these days, my belly gets very tight. It's not painfuk, just uncomfortable. Does this happen to anyone else?
Avatar m tn My sister use bio-oil it on her skin and it works.
