What can I do to help the healing process and to prevent scaring?

In person evaluation needed

Hi Dmaxil,
Benzoyl peroxide 10% cream can be very harsh on the skin if left on overnight. It is best used as a wash that is applied for only 1-2minutes. If you have a chemical burn you will need a good wound care regimen. I recommend seeing a dermatologist for an evaluation so that you can be started on a wound care regimen.
Personally I like to recommend Second Skin brand hydrogel dressings to my burn patients. I find it is soothing and helps with healing.
Take care!

Hi Swim 101,
Be sure to have an in-person evaluation of your mole. A board certified dermatologist can use a dermatoscope to accurately evaluate your mole to determine if it has any high risk features.

Wound care is essential

Hi Mrs Treavistu,
Without a photo it is impossible to give you accurate advice. However, it sounds like your surgery site was left to heal naturally and without stitches. In these cases it is essential to follow wound care diligently and be sure that the wound surface stays moist and covered. If the wound dries out it can form a whitish fibrin covering which is the early stage of a scab. You can use hydrogen peroxide on a qtip to gently remove the covering. Be sure to keep the area moist…

Is 50 units too much for glabella? 35 y/o female.

Yes, 50 units is too much
Mar 14, 2017

Hi, thanks for the question! For most women, 20-25 units is enough to treat the glabella. Some women with very strong muscles will need 30 units and men could require even more. However, if this is your first time doing botox, I strongly recommend you start with the lower end of the range. You can always add more but if you are treated with too much botox you can’t take it back.
Please find an experienced dermatologist or plastic surgeon and you will be very pleased with the results!!

Expertise is what you need

Hi Sam,
Thanks for the great question! It is so easy to get overwhelmed with the choice of treatments these days. Many common cosmetic problems can be treated with lots of different technologies and strategies. Acne scars can be difficult to treat and often multiple technologies are required to achieve the best possible results. The single most important decision is to choose the proper doctor to develop your treatment plan! Please choose a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon…

The two needle technique for lip augmentation with Juvederm, how frequent is this?

Safe, sanitary, and common
Mar 8, 2017

Thanks for the question! It is common and safe to change needles during injection. I often change needles multiple times to ensure that I have the smallest, sharpest needle. This allows me to minimize pain during the injection and produce the most accurate results.
Take care!

What is best method (non surgical) to treat corner eye bunching and crows feet. Thanks.

Start with Botox
Mar 8, 2017

Hi, thanks for the question. The crow’s feet lines are best treated with botox. Botox can relax the muscles around the eye which allows the skin to smooth. You could also consider options to tighten the eyelid skin with radiofrequency or laser treatments.
Hope that helps!
