61 years old with light skin, which would be the best CO2 laser to address crepey skin w
Tetra
Apr 29, 2022
I would recommend a moderately deep fractionated CO2 laser. The laser “brand”Is less important than the fluence or energy that is used. With light skin, you can have a more aggressive treatment with less risk of pigmentation problems. I personally like the Tetra CO2 laser which is considered the gold standard device in the market. Good luck
Not satisfied with botox results on my forehead indentation. What filler should I use to
Forehead filler
Apr 29, 2022
I would recommend a low viscosity filler with low cohesivity such as Restylane Refyne or Defyne. Voluma is way too cohesive and will likely give you a bulge in that area. Belotero isn’t substantive enough and will not correct the area well. With whatever material is used, make sure to “under correct” the area to avoid a convex bulge in that central forehead which is very unnatural. Also should be injected with caution to avoid vascular structures. Good luck!
If I get striped during IPL, will I have to pay more to have the procedure done again to
IPL “striping”
Jan 29, 2022
If there is striping from inadequate overlap, that should be corrected at no charge. Most often. If you are scheduled for multiple IPL treatments, one of your follow up treatments can address the striping. If you are done with your treatments and a striped pattern persists, the practice should offer to correct this at no charge (in my opinion)
Hope this helps.
Will my skin tighten up again after masseter Botox?
Masseter Botox
Jan 9, 2022
The results from masseter botox appear pretty quickly after injection. The face does look slimmer but one trade off is as you flatten the lower cheek, there will be some loosening of the jawline skin and soft tissues. It’s like the opposite of fillers which tend to volumize and hence lift the tissues. Depending on your age, you may get some contraction of the overlying skin but not very significant tightening like a mid face or jawline lift would do. Usually the slimming effect creates m…
Have Botox and fillers created these new lines? Doctor suggested that I need more filler
Zygomatic pull
Jan 9, 2022
The lines you are seeing over the cheek are related to pull from the zygomatic muscle which is involved in smiling. Toxins can only decrease the appearance of crows feet related to contraction of the muscles around the eye (orbicularis oculi) In some cases, as you soften the crows feet around the eye, the lower cheek lines related to the smiling muscles appear more visible. A small amount of toxin could be placed toward the cheek but trying to flatten the lines now present with toxin could…
