Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Does Photodynamic Therapy Have Permanent Effect?
PDT for acne is not permanent
Nov 4, 2012
Based on research data, photodynamic therapy can temporary improve acne by killing the bacteria and decreasing redness but it does not offer long term benefit (similar effect as oral antibiotics). However, if your natural course of acne is getting better, based on your gender, age and hormone status, it can offer short term rescue (improve your acne for 1-2 months) and help your acne along the way.
How many units of Botox is needed for entire eye area?
Units of botox needed for correcting crow’s feet
Jun 5, 2010
I believe having some smiling lines makes a person look more friendly and warm. Therefore, I encourage my patients to have just enough Botox to soften the lines but not totally elimiting them. Normally, I inject 3-10 units around each eyes. The number of units go down when a patients have had more than 2 years of regular Botox.
Can crow’s feet be merely softened with Botox?
Correcting crow’s feet with Botox – key is realistic expectations
Jun 5, 2010
Botox works only for dynamic wrinkles, but not the lines we have when we are not make a facial expression (such as smiling). The result of botox depends on your age when you started regular injections, since the longer you wait, the more likely that you will have non-correctable lines.
Is there any way to make my eyebrows more arched?
More arched eyebrow
Mar 18, 2010
Having 2 units of botulinum toxin injected into the proper locations in the eyebrow will make yoru eyebrow more arched. The exact location of injections depends on the individual.
Will getting Restylane + Dysport at the same time increase bruise/swelling?
Bruising with Restylane and Dysport together
Mar 18, 2010
The risk of bruising is related to your clotting state (ie, whether you take aspirin a day or not), how thin is your skin, wherer the injections are placed (around eye area has high risk). Having 2 products injected on the same day contributes a very small part to the overall risk of bruising.
Is the Vitalize chemical peel safe for Asian skin?
Vitalize peel for Asian skin
Mar 18, 2010
Since Vitalize peel is very surperficial, in principle it should be safe for dark complexion. However, I would recommend a test spot before committing the whole face.
Alternative to Restylane for acne scarring?
Acne scarring treatment options
Feb 6, 2010
There are many types of acne scars and the choice of treatment depends on the type of scarring. I would recommend having a dermatologist evaluate your scar, and then choose the most cost effective treatment.
