Effective treatment’s for acne scarring?

I’ve been suffering with acne most of my adult life. As a result i have quiet bad scarring on my back, stomach, and face. I’m currently on an antibiotic called, “Lymecycline” that i got from my GP. I’m hoping this will tackle my blackheads, and whiteheads that i have on my face, and body. But i was wondering if anyone can recommend any wash’s, cream’s that would reduce, or eradicate my acne scarring? i’ve looked into a thing called, “pixel laser” treatement, but it’s very expensive, and i’m not sure i can have it done whilst on antiobiotic’s? other option’s i’ve considered are a range of products from the harley medical group, the agera range. is the pro-activ range any good, and does that work on blemishes, and scar’s? any advice/help you can provide me, would be much appreciated. many thanks.

Alma Lasers “Harmony XL” works based on Intense Pulsed Light or IPL and provides one of a kind ability to receive three corrective procedures in one treatment. It’s called Laser 360 and is available at Pretty Face Medispa. Call for a free consultation today 914.788.9790.

What is the difference between Pixel Laser and Profractional Laser?

My doctor offers Profractional. I know how this works, by treating only part of the skin while leaving the rest untreated to speed up the healing time. And I understand this is considered to not be an ‘ablative’ treatment. So what is Pixel? Is that the same as Fractional or Profractional? This is confusing! Thanks. PS – Has anyone had either of these? The Pixel is cheaper but is it as good? Has anyone has Profractional? Quite expensive but maybe better . . . ?

 
Unlike traditional ablative lasers, used only on the face, the Laser Pixel® 2940 is targeted at treatments on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands, giving it a wider scope for treating aged and sun damaged skin. Sciton announced the launch of their ProFractional 2940nm ablative laser device during the American Society of Laser Medicine & Surgery (ASLMS) meeting in April 2006. This device has now been launched in the UK in the last month and is distributed by Sigmacon Ltd, as an additional handpiece for the Sciton Profile™ laser platform. Pixel laser reviews by RealSelf.com users 89% said worth it (8 reviews) 11% said not worth it (1 review) Cost of Pixel laser: $720 (avg of 9 reviews) www.Sciton.com has lots of info on both, couldn’t find cost of profractional laser treatments, sorry, hope this helps though. also, go to acne.org, look up PROGRESS PHOTOS: MicroLaser Peel & Profractional Laser Treatment a girl who goes by LeslieAnn got profractional laser treatment and shows photos of her progress.

What real benefits can I see from a facial peel or microdermabrasion?

Posted by admin on Mar 15, 2010 under facials

I have some sun damage, sun spots and want to improve my skin. Having it look smoother and more refined would be best. Face washes and stuff haven’t done much, so I’m considering a peel or microdermabrasion. How well does this work and what can I expect to see. Also, what negative after effects can I expect? The one I’m looking at is an alternative to a chemical peel and says non-invasive. Uses an enzyme that must work similarly, but without the negative after effects.
We have a revolutionary exfoliating glove called the Magic Peeling Glove®. YOU CAN ACTUALLY SEE THE DEAD SKIN COMING OFF when you use it!! It is 100% natural and works on acne, age spots, sun spots, rosacea and even cellulite. It makes your skin softer and more radiant than ever!

What exactly is a microdermabrasion treatment?

Posted by admin on Mar 14, 2010 under facials

Im 20, and I have this coupon for a skin care place for a free 15 minute microdermabrasion.. what exactly does the microderm. do?
Microdermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a cosmetic procedure popular in day spas, doctors’ practices, and medical spas in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, fine organic particles, or a roughened surface. Particles are removed off through the wand/handpiece through which the abrasive particles come [1] The term dermabrasion itself refers to the more severe medical procedure carried out under general or light anesthesia. Microdermabrasion is used to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. The procedure is not very painful and requires no anaesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. There is very little, if any, evidence that microdermabrasion stimulates collagen formation. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective. Microdermabrasion should not be used on patients who have taken the medication Accutane (Isotretinion) in the previous twelve months. In the past, microdermabrasion was carried out using abrasive crystals. However, in the last decade, it has become more common to use a wand with a roughened surface. This procedure requires no medical oversight and is commonly used in conjunction with facial spa treatments. These days there are a multiplicity of machines available for microdermabrasion. The growth of the microdermabrasion treatment industry has led to innovations and there are currently a few different microdermabrasion systems available. In terms of professional microdermabrasion systems there are two choices: 1. Crystal microdermabrasion Crystal microdermabrasion systems are the traditional treatment of choice and rely on tiny crystals that are blasted onto the skin to perform the exfoliating process. Although the crystal microdermabrasion system is still widely used, the introduction of alternatives has led to a trend away from this treatment system. 2. Diamond microdermabrasion Diamond microdermabrasion systems operate without the need for crystals. The exfoliation process occurs when a diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin and abrades against it. In both crystals and diamond microdermabrasion systems the dead skin cells are sucked away from the face. 3. Home Microdermabrasion Home microdermabrasion systems are an increasingly popular alternative to professional treatments. These are cheap and very easy to perform, and although not as powerful as professional systems, can produce good results over time. There is a great deal of competition in the home microdermabrasion systems market with most of the big cosmetics and skin care brands launching their own home systems. Microdermabrasion is a procedure where tiny particles “sand” or “polish” the skin and gradually remove scarred or discolored epidermal tissue. When you use a home microdermbrasion system the surface skin cell turnover will be enhanced and the skin will be visibly fresher. Home microdermabrasion creams with active ingredients, are focused on skin renewal and accelerate rebuilding of healthy collagen skin cells after microdermabrasion, laser resurfacing or harsh peels. For depressed scars, such as pitted acne scars, subcision with needles is often used by estheticians to break up the deeply buried scar tissue, and a home microdermabrision system then speeds up new healthy skin remodeling: the orderly process of laying out new collagen and elastin fibers.

What is the difference between photorejuvenation and microdermabrasion?

Posted by admin on Mar 13, 2010 under facials

Can you tell me a little bit more about them and how much do the usually cost?
That stupid question is sooo immature you really need to get a life and stop being stupid. Don’t be jealous of the people who actually use their brain and who actually have a life and don’t live out on the streets. Sound familiar? That’s right, you and only you know what I’m talking about because you sent me that same answer on my question that actually made sense!!! What is this question about? Like you actually know what the word photorejuvenation and microdermabrasion mean! Right now my computer is saying that the word is misspelled even though I copied it from above just like you wrote it! If you do know what they mean I would be glad to hear. And that doesn’t mean go look them up in the adult scientist dictonary.

Can someone give me advice on Microdermabrasion?

Posted by admin on Mar 11, 2010 under facials

I was told by my dermatologist that Microdermabrasion can be used to get rid of acne scars but will cause the new skin to be darker than the normal skin. Is this true to anyone who has undergone Microdermabrasion? Anyone who has undergone Microdermabrasion please tell me what was done and the results of the process please, in as much detail as possible.
My friend had this done. It didn’t change the colour of her skin. It did get rid of the worst of the scars. But she still gets bad acne and more scars.

Brazilian laser hair removal – safety and privacy questions?

Posted by admin on Mar 2, 2010 under Alma Lasers Harmony System, laser hair removal, new york medispa

My gf was considering getting a Brazilian laser hair removal. The main reason she doesn’t want waxing is (obviously) the pain and she also doesn’t want people rubbing into her private parts. So I was wondering if they also peer into your private parts in laser hair removal. I also heard that laser hair removal is way less painful than waxing, but some people say that it’s not safe? How will it do for South Asians with light to moderate natural tan color (olive) skins? Will it give her burns or skin deterioration or anything or does it go away after a few hours. I went on the laser hair removal website and most of them say that am experiemced, qualified laser hair removal specialist should do any part safely. Should I ask my doctor about it? My gf wants full-body Brazilian – arms, legs, torso, bum (the center too) – except the lower pubic area near the genital; how is it? And yes I know that it’s expensive so no need to repeat that over and over again. Responses from people who’ve had Brazilian laser hair removals are very welcome.
Okay… science answer: You grow in at least 80% of your hair during puberty. When you have laser hair removal the hairs it kills will never grow again. But you still have up to 20% of your normal thickness that will grow in throughout the rest of your life. So people get touch up sessions every 3-5 years after their big 6 treatments. You need about 6 treatments, one each 2 months for a year, because the hair grows in different stages and it can only kill hair in the active growth stage. The laser works by targeting dark color (the hair follicle) and passing through light color (the skin) the hair and skin have to be very different shades of color for the hair to work. The darker and coarser the hair and lighter the skin, the better results you will have. Okay… Personal Experience: I’ve had 2 out of my 6 treatments so far. It HURTS! It’s like being poked with a sewing needle over and over, but it’s not as painful as a tattoo, and that’s not as painful as childbirth, maybe that can put the pain in perspective for you =) I’ve had my legs, underarms, and bikini area done. When you get your bikini area done they do ALL of it! Including spreading your butt and vaginal lips apart to laser all the cracks… It’s sorta awkward. After the 2 treatments I’ve had so far I’ve lost about 60% of leg hair, 40% bikini hair, and 25% underarms hair. It’s because the underarms hair is the thinnest and the leg hair is the coarsest. But the legs are the most painful. The more it hurts the better it works. I spent this much for 6 treatments in each area: Bikini-$750 Underarms-$750 Legs (toes to bikini)-$2,500

Anyone have a laser Brazilian hair removal?

Posted by admin on Mar 2, 2010 under Alma Lasers Harmony System, laser hair removal, new york medispa

Really want to get this done …. hair gone for life just seems all too wonderful. Always get waxes, need something permanent. What was it like? how many sessions? does hair grow back in between treatments? can you still wax in between treatments or do you have to just let the hair grow?
