Answer Snippet
I had PRP earlier in the year. Worked great! But now I’m diagnosed with ITP. Can I do it ag
PRP for facial rejuvenation at age 30 who is recently diagnosed with ITP? Can you do it?
Aug 30, 2023
In my opinion, there are numerous wonderful options available for individuals in their 30s and beyond who are seeking to refresh their appearance. Your specific goals will determine the best approach. Given your recent diagnosis of idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP), it's important to approach treatments carefully, considering their potential impact on your platelet levels or function.

Considering this, opting for platelet-rich plasma (PRP) treatment for facial rejuvenation might not...

What can I do to minimize the appearance of acne scars?
How to minimize the appearance of acne scars of a skin of color or ethnic patient ?
Apr 29, 2023
I am sorry to know that you have still visible scarring after microneedling, TCA and subcision. Treating acne scars in patients with skin of color can be more challenging, and it make years and several combination treatment sessions. Patients with darker skin tones are more prone to developing hyperpigmentation, keloid formation, and post-inflammatory erythema (PIE) after acne scars heal. That's why energy-based treatments like lasers and RF microneedling have become the gold standard for...
How long should I wait between HydraFacial and profactional laser to attain optimal results
When should I get a Hydrafacial after Profractional laser ?
Apr 23, 2023
Profractional laser and Hydrafacial are both popular cosmetic procedures that can improve the appearance of the skin. Profractional laser is a more aggressive treatment that resurfaces the skin by creating tiny microchannels in the skin to stimulate collagen production and promote skin renewal. Hydrafacial, on the other hand, is a milder treatment that uses a vacuum-like device to clean, exfoliate, and hydrate the skin.

If you have undergone a profractional laser treatment, it is...

Failed Hyaluronidase? Could it disperse filler further?
Failed Hyaluronidase for lip filler: Could it make it worse?
Apr 23, 2023
Hyaluronidase is an enzyme that breaks down hyaluronic acid, which is commonly used in dermal fillers. In some cases, hyaluronidase can be used to dissolve excess filler or to correct filler that has been injected improperly. Hyaluronidase works by breaking down the hyaluronic acid molecules, which are then absorbed by the body and eliminated through natural processes.

It is important to note that hyaluronidase should only be administered by a qualified medical professional, as it can have...

How to treat PIH from Morpheus?
PIH after MORPHEUS: how to treat?
Apr 23, 2023
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) can be one of the side effects, especially in high-risk patients that can occur after undergoing Morpheus8 skin resurfacing treatments. PIH appears as dark spots on the skin, and it can be treated using a combination of topical skincare products and in-office procedures. Topical treatments may include hydroquinone, retinoids, and vitamin C serums, Cystamine cream, Lytera, ALASTIN, which work to lighten and brighten the skin. In-office procedures such...
Would 1ml cheek filler help lift my face and make me look more youthful?
one ml cheek filler or PDO thread lift to look more youthful?
Apr 23, 2023
You have beautiful features. I would not compare one ml of filler to a PDO thread lift since the results are different. One ml filler is less invasive and less effective than PDO thread lift which is more invasive and may be you can achieve improvement, provided its done by an experienced practitioner.
How to smooth this scar tissue from extractions 10 years ago?
How to improve forehead scar tissue from extractions?
Apr 23, 2023
The gold standard for treating acne scars are energy-based treatments. Subcision in the forehead can be difficult. I would treat a forehead scar from extractions, using lasers and exosomes instead of fillers. Laser treatments can help to resurface the skin, reduce scarring, and promote collagen production. Exosomes can be used to stimulate cellular regeneration and promote healing in the treated area. This combination of treatments can help to improve the appearance of the scar without the...
Non-invasive breast lift options?
Loose skin of the breasts after 3 children: Non invasive breast lift or vampire breast lift could be an option
Apr 23, 2023
The Vampire Breast Lift is a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that uses the patient's own blood to enhance the appearance and the quality of the skin of the breasts. The procedure does not really lift the breasts like surgery. The treatment involves drawing a small amount of the patient's blood, processing it to extract the platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and then injecting the PRP into the breast tissue. The PRP is thought to stimulate the growth of new blood vessels and collagen, resulting in...
How many sessions of TCA cross would I need to see results?
TCA cross for acne scars: How many times ? Tried other modalities for Depressed scars.
Apr 23, 2023
I prefer a combination of subcision, biostimulating fillers, LASER/FRF "multimodal approach" rather than TCA. The multimodality approach can be highly effective for treating a wide range of depressed scars, and it is often recommended for patients who are looking for a comprehensive and long-lasting solution.

While the multimodal approach can be highly effective, it is important to note that it may require multiple treatments to achieve optimal results. The number of treatments required...

CoolSculpting for Buffalo Hump
Jul 25, 2020
Thank you for asking this question. Please rule out secondary causes for Buffalo hump such as Cushings syndrome and medications etc with your endocrinologist. I was able to treat my patient who suffered from buffalo hump all her life and her 4 wks results are fantastic. I was able to use a smaller applicator such as Cool petite the second time, I will update her before and after in 2 months.
