Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can fractional CO2 laser actually cause hypopigmentation?
Hypopigmentation from Fractional CO2 Laser Skin Resurfacing
Apr 1, 2022
Hypopigmentation is a lightening of the normal skin color. It can occur for many reasons and can be permanent. When seen after laser skin resurfacing, it is typically due to damage to the melanocytes (pigment producing cells) which do not grow back. Fully ablative CO2 laser skin resurfacing of the face in the 1990's commonly caused hypopigmentation that left an obvious line of demarcation along the jawline. I published an article in the medical literature in 1996 describing this complication...
What Can be done About Extensive Sun Damage to my Skin?
Treating Sun-Damaged Skin
Apr 1, 2022
Sadly, those of us in our 50's and beyond frequently did not use sunscreen. We enjoyed a "healthy-looking" tan and even used tanning accelerators! If you compare the skin on your breasts to the skin on your chest, it's the same age skin but the exposed, tanned chest skin is crepy, thin and blotchy. It's prematurely aged. To get back to the real skin you should have for your age (as much as possible) there are several treatments to consider.
To improve thinning/crepey skin, energy-based skin...
What's the Best Skin Rejuvenation Treatment?
The Best Skin Rejuvenation Treatment for Mature Skin
Apr 1, 2022
Mature skin is often thinning, crepey, blotchy and lax. These issues are due to the aging process itself typically complicated by past sun damage and other forms of environmental damage that produce free radicals breaking down the tissue. Tanning and smoking produce the most damaging effects.
The best treatments are based on many considerations including location of the treatment area. For example: face vs neck, chest, arms, abdomen, legs...
In my practice, I often use a combination of...
How Do I Use Hyaluronic Acid and Vitamin C Serum? Which Goes on First?
Vitamin C serum first!
Mar 11, 2022
Vitamin C serum is one of the best at-home skin care treatments. It protects your skin from the destructive action of free radicals. 1. Cleanse with a non-soap cleanser, then 2. Apply Vitamin C serum, then3. Moisturize.4. Use a physical sunscreen (zinc and/or titanium) as your last step, EVERY DAY. Don't forget your neck, ears and chest.5. You may apply makeup after sunscreen if you like
What Can Be Done for Crepey, Saggy Skin Under the Eyes?
Best Treatment for Under Eye Skin
Mar 11, 2022
Crepey, saggy under eye skin is primarily due to loss of collagen and thinning of the skin related to aging and past sun damage. Correction involves promoting collagen production and tissue remodeling which is best achieved with energy-based treatments. There is no doubt that the current gold standard in tissue remodeling is radiofrequency microneedling. I often use a combination of CO2 laser resurfacing for the upper eyelid with Morpheus 8 RF microneedling for the lower lid. This give...
Can not get thigh area to reduce in size. Will coolsculpting work if overweight with problem area that
Treatment of thigh fat
Feb 15, 2022
Coolsculpting may be the answer and is an excellent way to permanently get rid of stubborn fat in the thighs. Another non-surgical treatment that works well is EMSCULPT neo which combines high intensity electromagnetic pulses synchronized with radio-frequency energy to not only permanently dissolve fat but also to build muscle and tighten the area. The technology for fat reduction treatments has come a long way in the past few years and I rarely recommend liposuction anymore.
What non surgical options are available for saggy eye lids and jowls?
Non surgical eyelid and jowl lifting
Feb 15, 2022
Determining the source of the problem allows for the most natural looking and often longer lasting correction. Sagging upper eyelids is often due to lowering of the brow (forehead laxity) which occurs as you age. Strengthening and lifting the brow is the solution, lifting the lid off the lash line and "opening" the eyes. My preferred method to strengthen the connective tissue (fascia) of the brow is with ultrasound energy. I accomplish this with Ultherapy, an FDA approved method of...
