The short answer to this is no. True moles, and there are several different types of moles, can’t be removed without surgery. You will always trade a mole for a...
Okay so three things – because it sounds to me that maybe there was a miscommunication between you and your doctor possibly. 1. Is it possible she was saying it...
Thank you for writing. I know there must be good doctors in Singapore who have a fractionated CO2. Generally, these lasers (I particularly like the DEKA DOT for this area), will...
I wondering if a dermatologist told you that?? In general, the risk of keloids goes down in the thirties, and also, the sites of past keloids really matter. For example, keloids are...
I really agree with your conclusion on this. With most acne scarring, it is deep enough that superficial treatments like microdermabrasion, creams and glycolic peels won’t help much. A fractionated...
Dear Amy – Most of the “over the counter,” drugstore type products and acne care systems like Proactive, have either benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, alpha hydroxy acids or retinol in them. These...
Hmmmm. I’d really like you to get an opinion from a dermtologist too. Do you have a good one in your area? Ideally, one who does the full range of medical,...
Confidentiality is important! We would never publish your email address or a last name. Unfortunately, I really can’t answer emails individually. Hopefully this will help. When you say the scars...
On the face, assuming the treatment is done correctly, it would be extremely unusual to develop scarring from Fraxel treatments. I’m also assuming you are not prone to keloids! You’ve had several...
It’s a bit difficult without being able to see you or knowing your age. But, yes, usually the fractionated CO2 is more effective than the Fraxel Restore for acne scarring. ...
One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
