Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
I have deep vertical lines around my lips. Will CO2 take care of this?
Combination therapy is essential
May 11, 2016
Carbon dioxide lasers can be very helpful for perioral lines.  It is important to note though that lines around the mouth also come from the loss of bone in the upper and lower jaw bones as well as loss of muscle tone in addition to the skin.  The skin is what we see, but this is a 3 dimensional issue and not just a skin issue so laser and fillers in combination will help restore the skin texture and volume respectively.   Please be advised that not all carbon dioxide lasers and not all pro…
Is ablative co2 laser right for me?
Carbon Dioxide Laser
May 11, 2016
A carbon dioxide laser will address the “uneven skin tone, large pores, oily skin and some acne scarring” that you are concerned about.  Not all carbon dioxide lasers and not all providers are created equal.  To address deeper scarring and deeper pores you need to consider a microablative in addition to a macroablative delivery of the laser.  A superpulsed or ideally an ultrapulsed carbon dioxide laser is what you should consider.  Make sure you do your homework on the providers in your are…
Can this tattoo on my hand be excised?
Tattoo Removal
May 11, 2016
Rather than excising the tattoo which would leave a scar I would consider a treatment with a Picoway laser at the 1064nm.  Scars are permenant.  This would not be very expensive and should completely resolve with just a couple of treatments with that tattoo. 
What laser is best at removing red and orange ink?
Wavelength matters in tattoo removal
Mar 29, 2016
No matter the laser make sure the wavelength is 532nm.Picoway is a very good and powerful and effective laser.
What can I do to remove old scar tissue from my lip? Is it safe to use Juvederm for augmentation? (P
In person consultation is the key
Mar 9, 2016
In person consultation is the key. The most important
thing is the determination of how thick and deep the scars are as that will
determine what the next step is.
If the scar is thin the need for microfractionated (smaller fractionated
lasers) carbon dioxide lasers as a scar remodeling technique vs scar
revision. Scar revision could be considered if the scar is deep and
thick, but it will leave another scar so if the thickness of the current scar
is minimal again I would say that lasers…
Skin care after fractional laser CO2 treatment?
Carbon Dioxide Follow Up
Mar 9, 2016
I would strongly encourage you to go see your physician.  I would also recommend that you NOT scrub your face.  The first couple of days after a carbon dioxide laser keep the skin moist.  Follow up after a carbon dioxide laser is just as important as what was done.
Best method for black tattoo removal?
picosecond laser
Mar 9, 2016
So I think what you need to do is first find an experienced physician in tattoo removal.  Second: find someone with a laser with the wavelength at 1064 nm.  Third: Both the Q switched and Picosecond lasers will work.  Again make sure as Dr Ort mentioned that it is a 1064nm vs 755nm.  A picosecond laser will give you a quicker resolution with less treatments versus q switched lasers.  I think the picoway laser which has a 1064 nm wavelength would be the best.  Good luck
