Doctor’s answers

Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Can a non-surgical nose job fix my problems?
You are a surgical candidate
Jan 1, 2016
Dermal fillers create beautiful “nose jobs” with saddle deformities or nasal atrophy from surgery. This is an inexpensive office procedure. But your nose needs removal of tissue, so you are a surgical candidate.
Would Laser Hair Removal Treat my Folliculitis?
Laser hair removal only helps ingrown hairs
Dec 19, 2010
If you have pseudofolliculitis barbae (ingrown hairs) laser hair removal would be helpful.  It would cause temporary baldness, but after one treatment session, most of the hair would regrow. 
Waxing and plucking after Laser hair removal treatment?
Mechanical or chemical hair removal is safe 30 days after laser hair removal
Jan 7, 2010
A professional treated laser hair removal site ordinarily does not require intervention for 30 days. Then, depending on location, some hair will start to grow back. At that time, mechanical (tweezing or waxing) or chemical (depilatory creams) hair removal may be safely done.
How effective is Pulsed Dye Laser for cherry hemangiomas?
The pulsed dye laser is the treatment of choice for cherry angiomas
Dec 24, 2009
Cherry angiomas are common benign vascular tumors that are cosmetically a problem.  The 595nm pulsed dye laser (Candela Vbeam Perfecta) is the ideal tool for non-scarring resolution of these lesions. They can be ablated at a rate of one every 2 seconds, so large numbers can be efficiently removed.
Laser hair removal for someone prone to folliculitis or abscess?
Laser hair removal is helpful for hidradinitis
Dec 24, 2009
You may be suffering from hidradinitis suppurativa. Hidradinitis is an acne-related condition that occurs in the underarms, groin and perineum. Laser hair removal is an effective additional treatment, along with traditional acne regimens and intralesional steroid injections. For darker skin, the long-pulsed Nd:YAG laser (Lyra-i) is the only safe hair removal laser.
See your dermatologist for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Is V beam safe for ethnic skin?
Pulsed dye lasers are not used in darker skin types
Dec 15, 2009
Because melanin (pigment) blocks the transmission of the 595nm wavelength photons from the Vbeam pulsed dye laser, this laser is not used nor effective in darker skin types (types IV, V and VI). If your vessels are sizable, the long pulse Nd:YAG laser can be safely and effectively used in darker skin.
Can V Beam help diffused redness if IPL didnt help?
V Beam is the gold standard for small vessels
Nov 21, 2009
Yes, the 595nm pulsed dye laser (Candela Vbeam) will be much more effective and safer than intense light treatments. I recommend that you consult with a dermatologist to see if you are a candidate. By the way, it is only used on types 1 to 4 skin.
