Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can a dark spot appear after laser hair removal?
Hyperpigmentation after LHR
Feb 19, 2023
Thank you for your inquiry.
The short answer to your question is yes--LHR can indeed cause hyperpigmentation. This is often due to incorrect settings being used for the appropriate Skin tone/color (eg. higher risk in Fitz 4-6 skin types). Additionally, this can happen with older LHR devices. The newer technology, like DIolaze XL by InMode Aesthetics (available with their different devices), has a built-in cooling mechanism that helps to prevent over heating of the skin. The technology also...
Would vaginal rejuvenation help with tightening after total hysterectomy?
Vaginal rejuvenation after Hysterectomy
Feb 19, 2023
Hello--thank you for your inquiry. In response to your question, the short answer is "yes." Vaginal Rejuvenation is just that: for the vagina; treatments are not meant to target the cervix. Thus, having had the cervix removed does not affect your opportunities to treat your vaginal tissue. In addition, the external area outside the vagina (referred as the vulva, which also includes the labia) can be treated with some Vaginal Rejuvenation procedures. For example, the Morpheus 8V and Forma-V...
Microneedling RF options for patient with gold allergy?
Microneedling alternative
Jan 8, 2023
Thank you for your inquiry. You could try a combined SkinPen treatment (contraindicated in those with a stainless steel allergy) with a FORMA treatment (by InMode Aesthetics). The SkinPen has a maximum depth of treatment of 2.5 mm and the FORMA handpiece delivers RF energy with no needles. However, since you mention only having "minor" laxity, you could also do an extended series of just FORMA treatments at the neck (but you might as well include the face too!) for the tightening effect. My...
Can Forma tighten loose skin due to filler stretching?
Skin tightening
Jan 8, 2023
So sorry about your unfortunate experience with dermal filler. I'm not entirely sure the "fanning technique" with a HA filler was the appropriate approach for your lower face treatment; but since I do not know of any the original details regarding that encounter, I cannot comment further.
However, skin tightening can be achieved by either FORMA or Morpheus 8, or any RF-based treatment. Pics would be helpful to see the facial areas of concern. Additionally, a laser-based treatment would also...
Recommendation needed - how can these scars be removed from my face?
Scar removal
Oct 6, 2022
Thank you for sharing your photo and inquiry. From the photo you shared, I would strongly recommend a microneedling treatment. There is well established studies that show microneedling to be an effective approach to reduce and/or eliminate scarring/scars, improved overall texture, decrease pore size, and help reduce fine lines and superficial wrinkles. The SkinPen is a good introductory microneedling treatment that can target a skin depth up to 2.5mm. This treatment can be combined with...
Can I get Morpheus8 AFTER Botox?
Tox before Morpheus-8
Sep 29, 2022
In theory, the RF energy and microneedling should not interfere with a neurotoinx treatment that is done at least 2 weeks prior. RF & microneedling affect the skin; neurotoxin affects the muscles. However, minimal manipulation of the areas treated with neurotoxin should be avoided for at least 2 weeks to avoid migration of the neurotoxin. And one should make sure there are no adverse changes and/or reactions from the neurotoxin treatment in general before any other facial/skin treatment...
Morpheus8 or VIvace Microneedling?
Dark spots & Skin Tone treatments
Sep 19, 2022
Hello--thank you for your inquiry. With the photos you provided and the concerns you stated, I would recommend starting out with an Intense Pulse Light (IPL) treatment. A series of Lumecca treatments would be a beneficial first approach to address the dark spots and overall skin tone. Lumecca utilizes IPL to treat facial pigmentation, superficial blood vessels, age spots, photodamage, tightening and/or texture. You could then follow with a microneedling treatment (Morpheus 8 is the industry...
