Effective Melasma Treatment

Melasma is a skin disorder where a dark facial skin rash with irregular borders appears on the skin usually on the cheeps, lips, nose or forehead. The color can range from a darkish brown to a grey.

Although the causes are unknown, Melasma can be triggered by heredity, sun, birth control, medications or hormones. This harmless rash can play a large part in self esteem which is why treatment is available. Even though Melasma can disappear in a few months or years, many individuals seek treatment for immediate removal.

There are many treatments for Melasma including chemical peels which use trichloracetic acid, lactic acid, fruit extracts, lactic acids and other acids. However, some of these treatments can be harsh and cause burning, scarring or a worsening of the Melasma. Another treatment is a skin lightening agent which uses hydroquinone. However, we believe the most effective treatment is the YAG laser which is proved to effectively improve Melasma.

Botox and Laser Hair Removal

Botox

Botox is made by Allerga, a drug company and everyone who uses buys the same standard bottle at the same cost. The bottle contains 100 units. typically horizontal lines on the forehead require 20 units. The commas on lines near the eyebrows require 20-30 units. Men have heavier muscles in this area and will need the 30 units, while women need 20 units.If both areas are done expect 40 units. Crows feet need up to 16 units for both sides. If all three areas are treated you would need 56 units. The process is quoted as per unit or per area. The forehead, the commas, and crows feet are 3 different areas. Botox should always be injected while sitting up , not lying down and you should not lie down for 4 hours after injections. It takes 5-10, to see the effect. In some people,they may need an adjustment, an extra few units a week later.It is better to need extra than to put too much in. Botox lasts about 4 months.

Laser Hair Removal

Laser hair removal should be done a minimum of 4 weeks apart. Expect 4-6 sessions to reach a successful outcome. Lasers do not work well on light colored hair. If the hair is grey, i recommend electrolysis.For lighter skin people the Alexandrite laser by Candela is a good choice. It is comfortable and gives good results. Sometimes on the chin is is useful to combine medical treatment with laser. The addition of a prescription cream or water pill can weaken the hairs to make the laser work better.This option is not available at spas or salons.

Lasers Help With Acne Scar Removal

Some of us were lucky enough to never have to experience acne. However, many of us were not so lucky. Unfortunately, many of us have the acne scars to tell the story.

However, acne scar removal is possible without surgery through an amazing new approach called non-ablative lasers including smoothbean...

Fraxel....


and the YAG lasers.

The yag laser used for tattoo removal also treats acne scars in 5 sessions 3 weeks apart with no downtime. It also lightens dark skin color similar to the Fraxel laser at a fraction of the cost. Another recent addition is infrared for stretch marks- results are visible at the manufacturers sight at www.mylightwave.com. Also, the Vipeel is an excellent medium depth peel for all skin colors to lighten uneven color on the face for any complexion. Lastly, Artefilll, the long term filler has not been available since the manufacturer declared bankruptcy in December. Fillers currently available include Prevelle Silk, Restylane, Perlane, Juveder Ultra Plus, and Radiesse. A new long term filler is expected in late 2009 or early 2010.

Each of these treatments are about 3 to 4 weeks apart. It's important to understand that none of these treaments will remove deep scars 100% but you can see a significant improvement as seen below:

At Morris Westfried MD PC we have tested out many lasers for acne scar removal and in our professional opinion have found that the YAG Medlite laser can result in amazing results at a far lower cost.
