Fractional Co2 Laser Skin Resurfacing Health Feed

Hello Dr. I have ice pick scars and boxcar scars on my face like nose, cheeks, chin, and forehead and my skin is very sensitive, I am afraid of using creams and laser treatments. So instead of taking laser, fractional/fraxel laser, fractional co2, TCA chemical peeling, IPL treatment can I go for microneedling/dermapen or can I use dermaroller for ice pick scars and boxcar scars? Will needling and dermaroller helps in preventing scars? Will scars do completely disappear and do they produce new collagen and improve skin texture? And if I go with needling/derma roller what kind of cream do I need to apply after I use roller or needling? Will they have any side effects? If you advice me to go with needling/derma roller, suggest me best dermaroller? And please help me and suggest the best treatment process. Thank you.

Conventionally, ablative laser works on the epidermis while non-ablative laser works on the collagen or the dermis layer. Fractional laser is unique in that it works on both these layers. Therefore, in ...more

Pregnancy is a life-changing phase in a woman s life. In addition to a baby (or babies!), there are a lot of physical and emotional changes also that come with it. The more evident are the physical ones, and in addition to weight changes, the stretch marks are the most obvious.

The uterus or the womb grows to its full extent to accommodate the developing baby, and so there is stretching of the connective tissue in these areas. After delivery, the tension is lost, and these marks become ...more

Using hair removal cream on your private parts is a normal thing. You might have used a more aggressive cream. Try to use a skin sensitive cream which is especially made for the sensitive skins. Uh, from your question it looks like you might have some sensitive skin and that has caused some allergic reaction in your private parts. But do not worry, with some medications and proper care it will go away within a week.
Using hair removal creams, such as veet, on sensitive areas like the private...more

Laser hair removal is amazing, it uses no gels so it does not leave any chemical or sticky residues, and unlike other methods, cannot get into your bloodstream or lymph nodes, so it can be used for other sensitive areas such as the male genital area, underarms, ears or nose.
