What are these black dots trapped under injection site after lip filler?? - pictures included

Pigment spots after dermal filler treatment
Dec 18, 2019

It's difficult to tell from your photograph, but it could be a couple of different things:
1) If it is indeed filler being released after injection, as you were told, it is likely something called the Tyndall Effect. This is essentially the same thing that makes the sky blue. The light just hits the superficial filler in a certain way that makes it look blue. This can last for a while. You can simply deal with it and wait for it to hopefully disappear or...

How to transform an angry resting facial expression to looking approachable, open and youthful? (photo

Transforming Angry Resting Face
Dec 18, 2019

Great question. This is one that I hear frequently. A combination of treatments can work very well to reduce the features that create a "sad" or "angry" look, even if you aren't feeling that way internally. Treatment with a neuromodulator (Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Juveau) can open the eyes, lift the brows, and relax the muscles that pull down the corners of the mouth. Dermal fillers can add volume to areas that look depressed and aged, and can help give a subtle...

I wanted to know if the procedure called nefertiti lift which is done with botox can improve the appea

Can the Nefertiti Lift with Botox improve the appearance of neck/jawline?
Dec 18, 2019

The results of the Nefertiti Lift are very individualized. If there is laxity in the skin due to muscle pull stretching the skin, then it is absolutely possible that the appearance will be improved. When the Botox is injected into the muscle, it reduces muscle activity. This reduced activity prevents the pull along the muscle and softens the wrinkling of skin overlying that muscle. If there is significant skin laxity or large amounts of fat under the chin (submental...

Will PRP for face work the same if applied rather than injected?

PRP with microneedling, inject or use topically?
Jun 28, 2018

Great question!
Injections and microneedling are typically done at different depths. Commonly when using Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) with microneedling, providers will apply the PRP topically and use the needling device to drive the product into the skin. Injections of PRP are typically deeper than a microneedling device. Some providers use both methods. We make the decision based on a persons individual needs. No matter which technique was used, the...

Should I request a biopsy for an itching and tingling mole?

To biopsy or not?
Jun 8, 2018

It's likely your dermatologist felt that your skin lesion had very few characteristics warranting a biopsy, but if there are any concerns that it could be cancerous, a biopsy should be done. Itching and tingling does not automatically mean a skin growth is cancerous. It sounds like a biopsy will at least set your mind at ease, so ask for one. The procedure should be done by a competent, licensed provider with adequate knowledge and experience to...

Should I get Kybella or CoolSculpting?

Kybella or CoolSculpting
Sep 28, 2017

Hi Keyarbrough,
This is a question I hear frequently from patients. In your case, I would urge you to seek a consultation from a professional who is trained in both of these services and utilizes them often. CoolSculpting uses different applicators that attach to the body, and even the smallest one may not fit properly in the area you would like defined. Kybella would be a nice consideration for a "fine tuning" or in places where the CoolSculpting applicator will not fit...

Will the mark left after Botox fade?

Little red mark after Botox treatment
Sep 26, 2017

Wonderful question! It sounds as if this is a bruise that was created after the Botox needle hit a blood vessel. If it is in fact a bruise, don't worry. Bruising can happen almost any time a needle goes through the skin, and it can be relatively common with Botox treatment. Depending on how quickly you normally heal, the bruising can take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to fade. Certain treatments or procedures can help to speed up the healing or disguise the...
