Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
What can I do for my chest keloid?
Keloid Treatments
Apr 18, 2019
Your best bet is to see a board-certified dermatologist. They will have a great deal of experience in treating keloids.
That being said, keloids in general are very difficult to treat. The first line treatment is usually injection of steroids (intra-lesional triamcinolone typically), which can shrink the keloid and reduce any symptoms but will not make it disappear. Silicone gel products (the gel or silicone gel sheets) can also help a bit. Some laser…
Botox and Dysport no longer work on me, what are my other options?
Resistant to Botox & Dysport?
Apr 18, 2019
As a next step, I would give Xeomin a try. If Xeomin works, you’ll know that you have developed resistance to Botox and Dysport. If not, then as others have noted, you may want to try a different injector. It is critical to find an experienced injector who is board-certified in one of the core aesthetic specialties (i.e. dermatology, plastic surgery, facial plastics, oculoplastics).
What scar treatment would you recommend for my mole incision scar on my upper arm?
Scar Treatment for Upper Arm
Apr 18, 2019
Great question!
As others have stated, an in-person consultation with a board-certified physician in a core aesthetic specialty is a must. That being said, my sense is that you’re going to see the most benefit from a surgical scar revision–essentially, cutting out the existing scar and re-suturing it very cautiously, with meticulous technique and a running subcuticular stitch to minimize the risk of track marks and spreading of the scar. It will also be very critical for you to…
When should I see a different after 70 units of Dysport?
Dysport Onset of Action
Apr 7, 2019
You should always feel comfortable contacting your physician to ask them a question about any treatment that you have received. That being said, I re-evaluate my patients two weeks after Dysport injections to assess their response and satisfaction with treatment. By that time, we will know for sure that the neuromodulator has taken full effect. 70U, however, is a reasonable starting dose for the glabella and forehead in a first-time patient, but everyone is different…
Besides filler what is the best way to address marionette lines without doing plastic surgery?
Marionette Lines
Apr 7, 2019
Great question!
Neuromodulator (i.e. Botox, Dysport, etc.) into the DAO muscle is a relatively inexpensive, non-surgical, and temporary alternative to improve marionette lines. You might consult with a board-certified expert injector to see if this would be sufficient for you prior to trying a surgical alternative.
Best of luck!
Why excise a mole that had a punch bx showing Clark’s Nevus, compound subtype, with congenital feat
Clark’s Nevus
Apr 7, 2019
This is a fantastic question and one about which there is sometimes not even complete agreement by expert dermatologists.
I obviously cannot comment about your specific case without more specific information, but I can give you some more general information which may help.
1) Clark’s nevus is the old term for dysplastic nevus, which indicates that there were some concerning features noted on biopsy but that the pathologist did not feel that the nevus was a cancer….
Eyebrows have changed shape and dropped very low after receiving botox 12 days ago. Is there anythi
Dropped Eyebrows
Apr 7, 2019
Although Botox is not reversible, injections into the lateral brow (often in combination with treatment of the crow’s feet, or lateral small lines), can elevate the brow to some degree. This is something to consider. Please seek re-evaluation with your treating physician to discuss your concerns and seek correction, if possible.
Best of luck!
