What should I do about the brown/ red spots after mixing Epiduo and AHA?

Browns spots after a peel
Jun 14, 2017

You should keep the burned areas moist , Aquaphor can be purchased at your local drug store and doesn't contain and chemicals or fragrances that would irritate the sensitive skin. I would also see a Paramedical Aesthetician or Dermatologist about reducing the chances for hyperpigmentation marks. They can potentially give you a prescription 4% Hydroquinone cream to minimize any hyperpigmenation from forming and fade any existing pigmentation irregularities. You typically...

Is it safe to go for chemical peels? Does Chemical peels have side effects?

Are Chemical Peels Safe
Jun 14, 2017

I would schedule a consult with an experienced Paramedical Aesthetican, Dermatologist or Plastic Surgeons office that do peels regularly. Their is a wide variety of peels making it possible to treat all skin types. Express your concerns of having sensitive skin and they can start with a mild peel and work you up to a stronger one if necessary.
Most peels there will be some level of flaking or peeling and some redness, however, there are some peels designed to not have any...

I bought an at home chemical peel, 30% strength, what side effects might I possibly have once I use

Chemical Peel Side Effects
Jun 14, 2017

It is hard to say what your side effects would be not knowing what kind of peel it is. Also, many of the peels patients can purchase to treat themselves are not the same as the ones used in a doctors office that require a physicians license to purchase. I have seen some TCA peels listed for sale online and those should only be done by a professional. Although the ones you purchase illegally online typically aren't as strong as they say. I have a patient that...

Will a light chemical peel remove hair follicle from face???

Chemical Peels and Hair Removal
Jun 14, 2017

A light chemical peel will not remove any hair or destroy/remove the hair follicle. The only treatments to destroy the hair follicle would be Laser Hair Removal or Electrolysis. Some treatments like Dermal-planning can shave the hairs, but they will quickly return as the follicle was not destroyed or affected in any way.

I had laser treatment 2 months ago. I can see facial hair. Can I shave them as I can't have laser n

Shaving with Laser Hair Removal
Jun 14, 2017

Yes, you can shave between treatments and while you are on hold for treatments. You would just want to make sure you aren't plucking, waxing or using hair removal creams if you are going to start your treatments again. The laser goes after the root of the hair and other methods of hair removal (plucking, waxing, threading etc.) will remove the root and there will be nothing for the laser to treat when you restart your sessions.
Best of Luck!

Settings for Laser Hair Removal
Jun 14, 2017

The settings are different for every machine. For a Palomar Icon you would typically be 20ms 24-28J/cm, so if that was the machine she used, 28 is the max. In our office we have a device that measures your pigment and gives the best settings for your skin tone. Depending on your reading we would start at 24 or 26 and not increase to 28 J/cm until we have done several treatments at the 26 and see you that you would be safe to raise the settings. However, that is one of many...

Soreness after SculpSure
Jun 14, 2017

It is normal to have some tenderness after a SculpSure treatment. Typically it can feel like you did an intense ab workout for a week or so after the treatment. You should drink plenty of water, massage the area to help break down any pockets of destroyed fat cells and you can take Motrin/Ibuprofen to help with the inflammation.
The settings being at 1.1 is an average setting, they range from 0.9-1.4. The setting can vary from person to person and even with...
