How Soon Is To Soon To Apply Makeup Post Laser Resurfacing?

Post Laser Resurfacing Wound Care

I generally recommend using no makeup over the area that has undergone laser resurfacing until new skin has healed over the area. This typically takes about 1 week depending on the depth of resurfacing, the location and your own bodies healing. While it is healing I recommend you keep the area well moisturized with a bland ointment such as Vaseline or Aquaphour. To ensure best results make sure to apply full broad spectrum SPF 30 and above daily. Good luck and enjoy your healthy beautiful looking new skin!

How Effective Are Chin & Neck Liposuctions?

Chin / Neck liposuction is one of the most popular liposuction procedures done. Fat is removed and that is part of the reason for the improvement but in addition the skin will re-drape and contour to the new shape. I have personally performed hundreds of these and can attest that with correct patient selection, the results are essentially permanent. When your doctor examines you he/she will be able to determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure and if you are an ideal candidate then you should anticipate excellent, permanent results with this safe simple procedure.
