Doctor Youn

“if you've got issues with sunspots and you want an inside outside one two punch to get rid of them and to hopefully prevent them from coming back then I recommend that you combine IPL or intense pulse light treat M they're kind of like laser treatments with those creams that I mentioned before”
Hyram
✓Yay
“And there's also scarero therapy. No. Oh, I actually did pronounce it right. Wow, that never happens. Scarotherapy is an injection that is commonly used to treat varicose veins. And they also do use that on the face to help reduce any obvious or physical veins on the under eye area or around the face.”
Doctorly
✓Yay
“some of the resurfacing lasers like CO2 like Herum by creating little microtrauma to the skin even microneedling can have this effect you will actually cause collagen to build you will cause the skin to tighten through wound healing mechanisms and so it can also tighten permanently tighten the areas underneath the eyes”
Dr. Aanchal MD
✓Yay
“you can also go for fractional CO2 laser sessions especially if the texture in that area is different if it is thickened or there are scars or you want to improve the overall quality of the skin then fractional CO2 laser helps in getting rid of the dark patches as well as improves the quality of skin”
Dr Dray
✓Yay
“what can get rid of that unfortunately topicals don't really touch that at all and once those develop it's going to be light based devices to clear those up to Target them to seal them up with light based energy so that they involute and go away so for example intense pulse light IPL in other words is an option”
Cassandra Bankson
✓Yay
“when you look at Jennifer Lopez's unphotoshopped skin it looks like there are some of these treatments cuz it kind of gives you that poreless look and while there are skincare products and blur primers and things like niacinamide and bhas that are great for reducing the look and size of pores what is possible with some of those over-the-counter skincare items and the results of using them does look very different to the highly trained eye than skin that has recovered from micro needling”
208SkinDoc
✓Yay
“The Halo laser that we have can be helpful or the Clear and Brilliant because it doesn't generate as much heat in the skin. But I think the gold standard for laser treatments is again going to be like the Q-switched 1064 laser or a picosecond laser because they can fire so fast they just don't generate a lot of heat in the skin.”
Dr. Shereene Idriss
✓Yay
“althera is one that has a bad rep when you go on Reddit or you go on real self I don't know where these people are going I don't know who these trolls are I've been doing this for over 10 years I buy the device from the manufacturer I buy the heads from the manufacturer I'm not trying to skimp I do it correctly I do not do it too often usually once every year and a half to 2 years if you do not want to facelift and you're older maybe a little bit more regularly than that but when done correctly it can really create a more defined jawline”

“Don't just go and have like a big blast CO2 laser across your face like you can't cuz it's that you know, we've talked about radio frequency microneedling. That generally is more of the superficial level pigmentation so we can still grab that and fix it. Whereas this is like much deeper and it's dermal and it's almost like it's tattooed to take the skin.”

“They target the melanin and just destroy it. They do not, we'll come to that later, destroy the melanocytes. They destroy the melanin so your skin looks brighter quicker than it does with topicals. Again need an experienced practitioner because also can make things worse because some of them work with heat and heat can trigger melasma.”
