Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Will SculpSure leave "loose" skin or does it have the ability to melt fat and tighten the skin?
SculpSure and Skin Laxity
Mar 7, 2016
SculpSure shows significant reduction in fat volume to a treated area such as the abdomen and flanks.  The overlying skin does not develop a "deflated" appearance after the procedure.  Although SculpSure only has FDA clearance for the treatment of fat reduction to the abdomen and flanks many patients do report that their skin has a "tighter appearance" following treatment.  This technology is definitely exciting and worth consultation if you have troubled areas such as the abdomen and...
Is it safe to use Proactiv with Tazorac?
Combining both agents may increase your risk of irritating your skin
Apr 20, 2009
Many of the Proactiv products contain either benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. These products can work for acne, but they can also generate some dryness and irritation to the skin.
Tazorac is a topical retinoid that may also work well for controlling acne bumps and comedones, but for many people it can be very irritating and cause excessive dryness, peeling, and redness.
If you combine both the Proactiv products with the Tazorac you might substantially increase your risk of...
What can I expect to spend on treatment to remove age spots?
Several age spot treatments with variation in cost and downtime
Apr 10, 2009
There are multiple treatment options for the treatment of "sun spots." Cost depends on the type of treatment chosen, the area you are treating, and who is performing the procedure. Chemical Peels, IPL, and laser therapy such as Fraxel or Active FX are all options for the treatment of sun damaged skin.
Chemical peels tend to be more affordable and can do a good job depending on the type of skin you have, the strenght of the peel, and the amount of downtime that you are able to...
IPL Facial considerations
There are a variety of lasers marketed as IPL, but only a few offer the best results
Apr 8, 2009
IPL stands for Intense Pulse Light. IPL is a light based photorejuvenation treatment utilizing a filtered broad spectrum of light to target the brown and red spots in the skin. There are several reasons that the price varies from office to office and location to location. The technology itself can vary from one piece of equipment to another. Some of these IPL systems are marketed to spa-like locations and don't have as much "power" to get you your best results.
In addition, many...
Benzoyl Peroxide advice
benzoyl peroxide can help your complexion, but there is more to it than just concentration
Mar 27, 2009
Duac is a prescription strength acne medication that contains both a benzoyl peroxide and clindamyin agent elaborately combined into one therapy. It has been shown in clinical studies that they work better together at treating acne than working alone by themselves.
There are several other competitors out there including Benzaclin and a new agent that was just released at the beginning of this month called Acanya. All of them work under the same principal, but with slightly different...
Treatment for acne on thighs and buttocks

From your description, it seems that the underlying problem may be a folliculitis or keratosis pilaris. Folliculitis is an irritation of the hair follicle either from friction, chemical irritation, or...
Does swimming in a pool cause dry skin?
Swimming pools are a very common cause of dry skin
Mar 19, 2009
The necessary chlorine in pools is a frequent cause of dry skin for swimmers. There are a few steps that can be done to try to reduce this problem. Whenever showering, use a mild soap such as Dove Body Wash. Only use your hands to wash your skin. Never use anything abrasive to exfoliate your skin. Always apply a moisteurizer to your skin after showering. If you had extremely dry skin secondary to the swimming pool, you could always consider applying a strong emollient to your skin before...
