Is microneedling with stem cells or PRP better than Vampire Facial?
What’s Better
Oct 25, 2019
Oct 25, 2019
Microneedling:
This is a highly operator dependant procedure. The skills and knowledge of the provider are very important. Generally, the more aggressive the treatment, the better the results. The greater the aggressiveness, the greater the downtime.
PRP:
Success with PRP relies on a few primary factors.
1) Age of the patient. It is likely that the PRP will will be enhanced by being augmenting the PRP with things such as growth factors, extracellular…

Does getting an O-shot hurt?
Does O-Shot Hurt?
Jul 5, 2019
Jul 5, 2019
Generally, the O-Shot does not hurt. Certified practitioners are well trained on how to avoid hurt and discomfort. That being said, no two people are the same and occasionally some individuals are more sensitive then the majority. Even then I would describe things not as a hurt, but a brief discomfort.
The procedure does provide enough benefit that even if you are one of the few that experiences some brief discomfort, the reward is by far worth it.

What is the best non-surgical procedure I can have to help with vaginal dryness after a hysterectomy
Vaginal Atrophy Due to Surgery

You’re in luck! It’s only been in this last half decade when we are able to successfully and very safely treat not only the symptoms but root causes of your current condition and prevent additional symptoms that would otherwise follow.
The MonaLisa Touch procedure will alleviate your current issues. However, The longevity of the treatment or any like it and avoidance of additional symptoms will require hormone replacement therapy. I recommend that you seek out a Bioidentical…

Any solutions for my bald/hairless spot on the left of my front hairline?
Bare Spot and Brow Lift
Jul 2, 2019
Jul 2, 2019
Unfortunately, areas that have never had hair remain a challenge for regenerative medicine. I have had some success with PRP and certain types of exosomes. However, it has not been consistent for this type of problem.
You may want to consider a FUE hair transplant. There are many providers on RealSelf that provide NeoGraft and SmartGraft treatments.
To obtain a successful brow lift I would not go with filler. You would likely be happier with a PDO thread lift. The MINT system…

Regarding Mona Lisa laser, does it touch the cervix?
Safety of the MonaLisa Touch Procedure
Jul 1, 2019
Jul 1, 2019
Providing there are no other conditions that would be a contraindication, you’re good to go! This would be a very beneficial treatment for you. The procedure does not treat the cervix, only the vaginal wall.
Wishing you a great outcome!

Going for my first session of CO2 laser resurfacing. Does it causes any damage to my facial beard???
Co2 and Beard
Jun 22, 2019
Jun 22, 2019
You’re good to go! A proper fractional Co2 treatment does not go to the depth your follicles will be impacted. Nor, does the frequency of light produce heat in the follicles that would otherwise kill them as with other laser frequencies.
Be sure to have good skin care lined up prior to your treatment, stay out of th sun for a couple of weeks and be very generous with the sunscreen thereafter.
Wishing you a wonderful outcome.

Minoxidil 15% and needling (dermaroller) to create vellus in temple area? Where there has never been
High Dose Minoxidil
Jun 1, 2019
Jun 1, 2019
Doesn’t sound like a good plan. I agree with the other doctors. Minoxidil works with existing hair, but if there has not been a follicle before or you haven’t seen hair in the location for a number of months it most likely won’t work.
At regular strength, Minoxidil can have side effects because a portion of it does not stay in the just the scalp. Much of it goes systemic. By tripling the recommended max dose you increase your chance of experiencing adverse side effects…
