I was not able to get home in time to watch and would like to hear what the doctor said about skin care products.

]]> Comment on What is Fraxel Laser Therapy? by SkinMedic http://skinmedic.com/what-is-fraxel-laser-therapy/comment-page-1#comment-1240 SkinMedic Fri, 08 Jan 2010 17:16:36 +0000 http://www.skinmedic.com/?p=1112#comment-1240 Hey Jennifer, Basically, the fractional laser is a co2 laser which will address tightening, pigment, and pore/scar improvement. IPL, or photofacial, uses pulsed light to address pigment, vascular or reddness problems, does impact pore size, and does encourage collagen production. The fractional lasers will provide more tightening. There is downtime with the co2 lasers, and probalbly not (although there can be) with the IPL's. IPL's or photofacials are $375 for the face, add the neck for 150. Chests are 375. IPL's initially are sold in a series or 5. Prepayment can save you 15%. Fractional laser is $1000 for the face, $1000 for the neck or $500 if done at time of face. Chest is $1000, hands $500. Other popular treated areas are the arms, back, and legs. Thanks for asking, Pam Brewer Hey Jennifer,

]]> Comment on What can I do about red lines, blotchiness and visible veins on my nose and cheeks? by SkinMedic http://skinmedic.com/what-can-i-do-about-red-lines-blotchiness-and-visible-veins-on-my-nose-and-cheeks/comment-page-1#comment-53 SkinMedic Wed, 22 Jul 2009 11:51:42 +0000 http://www.skinmedic.com/test/?p=143#comment-53 Sounds like a fairly easy fix---Intense-pulse-light, AKA IPL, BBL, Photofacial would do the trick. The process has been around since the mid-ninties and produces consistently good results. The treatment can be limited to the nose and cheek area or can be applied to full face. There is typically no downtime, to-speak-of, however aggressive treatment can leave you with blotches, blisters, and/or whelping. Those are extreme instances and can be avoided.

Just got back from skin Dr. , who said for the brown spots, just do a peel. Yes, I also have the spider veins, which I don't think will go away with a peel.
