Does dermapen skin needling produce fresh collagen or scar tissue collagen?

collagen
Apr 29, 2017

It is honestly probably a little bit of both types of collagen. Microneedling is used to induce collagen stimulation but there are so many types of collagen that our bodies naturally make that to be honest, it is probably a little bit of both. I also think that depending on what you’re treating (i.e., acne scars, antiaging, fine lines, etc) also differentiates what type of results should get as well as what type of collagen is induced. It is still a good treatment if you’re…

How long for a scar to fully heal from a mole removal on your nose?

Apr 29, 2017

Everyone heals differently based on age, genetics, ethnicity, sun exposure, and the area where a mole is removed. Normally, I have patients come back at 6 weeks for a scar check but I allow a mole removal site to heal for at least 6 months and sometimes longer depending on how they heal. Hopefully, you have a follow up with your dermatologist for a scar check in the next few weeks. Good luck. 🙂

Phenol peel concerns

phenol peel
Apr 23, 2017

Deep phenol peels are amazing peels. There are many things to consider in deciding if you should do a phenol peel, TCA peel, or a fractionated laser. Consult with a cosmetic dermatologist to decide if you actually need something as aggressive as a phenol peel, how much downtime you will need for a peel vs. laser, and if you will develop collagen production. Collagen production occurs with fractionated lasers so that often comes into consideration as most of my patients love…

Im looking for a procedure that will tighten the skin around my mouth and lower jawline.

Skin tightening
Apr 23, 2017

There are many options available these days for skin tightening. All laser treatments, skin tightening procedures, or chemical peels are not without risks. If too much heat is deposited into tissue, it is possible to lose volume in the area. But there have been millions of radiofrequency and ultrasound procedures done worldwide for skin tightening without the side effect of volume loss. Make sure you find a reputable cosmetic dermatologist to consult with to find out…

Follow-Up: Anyway effective treatments to get rid of these scars?

It’s possible to lighten the color of the scar. It is hard to tell how deep your scars are from a picture. I always recommend consulting with a cosmetic dermatologist to assess the depth of your scars, what type of lightening cream can be prescribed, and if any procedures are available to help you diminish the appearance of your scars.

Will dermarolling make acne come back?

Apr 19, 2017

Whenever you scar from acne or trauma, a procedure usually cannot completely restore the skin to it’s “pre-scarred” state. With microneedling, you can improve the appearance of scar tissue and make the collagen remodel so that it has a nicer appearance. I always counsel my patients that a procedure is not an “eraser” but it helps to improve the current state of your skin. Other factors such as intrinsic and extrinsic aging continue to occur and you may need further…

Is it okay to smile and move your face around during a chemical peel?

cracking
Apr 15, 2017

I always recommend to my patients that they should contact me if they aren’t sure if something is normal. The cracking feeling can be normal and many times, I bring my patients into the office every 2-3 days post chemical peel to insure that they aren’t having any problems with excessive peeling at too quick of a rate or infection. Contact your dermatologist that did the peel and address your questions. I tell people that I do this all the time so I am comfortable with…
