This would really dependent on your skin type and skin sensitivity. Everyone's skin is different so it is good to closely monitor the condition of your skin while gradually increasing the frequency of use complementing it with moisturisers rich in ceramides or hyaluronic acid to keep your skin barrier protected. If you see or feel any irritation, make sure to stop using it immediately and visit a dermatologist to seek personalised advice.

@@AngelineYongDermatology thanks so much!

Hello @Liz-vq7wk, it's best to consult your dermatologist before proceeding, but generally, Exilis 360 VLift can be performed after CO2 laser treatments, depending on your skin's healing progress. Typically, a month allows enough time for recovery, but it’s important to have your skin evaluated to ensure it’s ready. Always follow your doctor's personalised advice for the best results!

Hello @Chhonwa, thank you for your comment! Generally, it's safe to use salicylic acid twice a day in lower concentrations (usually 0.5%-2%). However, overuse may lead to dryness or irritation, so it's important to monitor your skin's reaction. If you notice any redness, peeling, or excessive dryness, consider cutting back to once a day or every other day. Always apply a moisturiser afterward to keep your skin balanced and use sunscreen during the day, as salicylic acid can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. It's best to consult a dermatologist to tailor your skincare routine to your specific needs. Hope this helps!

Hello @sonny92704, thank you for reaching out! Glad to hear that your kidney transplant is doing well. When considering laser tattoo removal after a kidney transplant, it's crucial to consult both your dermatologist and your transplant specialist. Laser tattoo removal typically targets the ink in the skin without affecting deeper tissues or organs. However, individuals who are immunosuppressed may have slower healing or a higher risk of infection, so careful evaluation is necessary. I recommend attending an in-person consultation where the professional can discuss your medical history and potential risks to ensure that laser treatment is safe for you. Your transplant team can also provide guidance to minimise any complications. Take care, and feel free to reach out with any other questions!

Hello @dachater1, thank you for your comment. Yes, Pico Lasers can be used for addressing dull skin, fine lines, and general anti-aging concerns. The laser works by delivering short pulses of energy to stimulate collagen production and resurface the skin, improving texture and brightness. However, it's always best to consult with a dermatologist to ensure it's the right treatment for your specific skin type and goals.

Hello @lifesymphony2024, thank you for sharing! It's great that you're considering your treatment options carefully. Since you've recently had treatments, it's wise to give your skin time to heal.

It would be recommend that a consultation next year will help tailor a treatment plan that complements your previous treatments, while maintaining your skin’s health and avoiding over-treatment.

Hello @venosheniravichandran3352, thank you for your question! For Fitzpatrick 4 skin, it is rather common for acne marks to darken temporarily after Pico Laser due to post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. This usually improves with time. Make sure to protect your skin from the sun and use gentle brightening products to help with the recovery process. However, if you feel concerned, it's best to consult your dermatologist to seek professional advice in relation to your skin condition.

Hi, have your skin got better with pico, I am so confused to do it, your help would be much appreciated 😊

Hello! It’s common for pigmentation to temporarily darken after pico laser, especially with Fitzpatrick skin type 4. This is typically post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) and should fade over time. You can usually have your next session 4-6 weeks after the first, but I recommend checking in with your dermatologist before continuing. They may adjust your treatment plan based on your skin’s response. Also, using sunscreen daily can help prevent further darkening.

Hello @evonang9589, thank you for your question! It’s generally recommended to wait at least a week before doing any facial treatments after Pico Laser. This is to allow your skin to properly heal and recover from the laser treatment. However, certain treatments may be acceptable depending on your skin condition. It is crucial to speak to your dermatologist for professional advice suitable to your situation.

Hello @sheenatran2600, thank you so much for your kind words and support! Skincare for women in their 50s and 60s is incredibly important, and we will definitely take in the suggestion to produce more skincare content around that. Stay tuned for upcoming tips and recommendations!

Personally, my take on it is that the effectiveness of energy-based devices depends on selecting the right treatment for the patient, understanding skin and fat thickness, and using the correct transducer depth and shot count. When performed by a well-trained professional, risks are minimised. However, improper use by less trained practitioners, such as applying the wrong energy levels or depths, can lead to issues. Devices targeting superficial layers tend to have lower risk of affecting facial fat deposits. Hope this clarifies!

Hi there! Male and female pattern hair loss share similarities, but female hair loss is often more complex. Thyroid imbalances can lead to increased hair shedding (telogen effluvium) and may even be linked to autoimmune conditions like alopecia areata. Hormonal imbalances, diet, and systemic disorders can also play a role. Do consult your dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment options.

Thank you for your comment, @PtolemyXVII! The choice of injectables varies based on individual skin conditions and goals. Polynucleotides (like Rejuran) improve skin texture, while bio-stimulators (like Sculptra or Radiesse) focus on collagen production and volume loss. Profhilo is useful for areas with crepey skin but doesn’t address skin laxity as effectively. Hyaluronic acid boosters, when applied correctly, can enhance hydration without looking overfilled. It's always best to consult a skilled practitioner for personalised advice. Hope this helps!

Hello @rachaelmufale5903, thank you for your kind feedback! Both PicoWay and PicoSure are excellent devices, but they have some differences. PicoWay is often preferred for treating pigmentation issues like melasma and darker skin types due to its shorter pulse duration, which reduces heat-related side effects. PicoSure, on the other hand, is highly effective for tattoo removal and overall skin rejuvenation. When deciding which to select for patient care, the specific skin concerns and goals of the patient is top consideration. Do consult with a dermatologist can help determine which device would be best for you.

Hi, I have q switch laser followed by yellow light laser done every session for 6 sessions now. My pigmentation did not lighten. Does it mean it is not working or I need more sessions

Hello @maruramos7363, to remove microblading eyebrows, laser treatments, such as Q-switched lasers could be utilised. We would recommend that consulting a professional to help you choose the best approach for your situation.

Hello @ngoctrangle-alfonso9771, in general for skincare, antioxidants are good for most/all skin types, hyaluronic acid in a serum or moisturiser, niacinamide or other soothing calming agents like heartleaf can all be useful. It is recommended to incorporate a good antioxidant serum including a good potency vitamin C, broad spectrum sunscreen with at least Spf 40-50 and PA +++ in the day, and depending on skin type, using a retinol or retinoid 2-3 times a week can be helpful to preventing fine lines and photo-ageing. For injectables, some good products that improve skin quality, consider skin boosters that contain hyaluronic acid to hydrate the skin, polynucleotides to repair the skin and improve fine lines/pores, and also certain bio-remodelling injectables can be helpful to improve elasticity and hydration safely. At the end of the day, skincare and treatments are not a one size fits all and will vary depending on your skin's condition and your history. Do make sure to seek a professional's help for customised skincare to your skin type and condition if you have trouble addressing it yourself!

Hi there, pico lasers can help to reduce hyperpigmentation, we recommend consulting with your dermatologist to determine suitability based on individual’s skin condition.

Hi there, some peeling or scabbing may occur for higher energy settings. We recommend consulting with a dermatologist in person.

Do not double cleanse two times ,use Salicylic acid cleanser only 3 times in a week,snail mucin might not suitable for everyone so stop using essence and use a gentle face wash , moisturizer and a sunscreen and double cleanse only if you use makeup or water resistant sunscreen you don't need too much cleansing it will strip your skin barrier

Hello @fizaakter-f9j, thank you for your comment! Cleansing and a good cleansing routine whilst essential and helpful at managing acne prone skin, should also not be overdone, and double cleansing can be done just once a day instead of twice. Generally, we don't want to strip the skin of too much oils and moisture which can then lead to further breakouts as the oil glands might try to compensate and produce more oil. This may actually be more counter productive and lead to more acne formation. Hence, it is advisable to only double cleanse once at night - using an oil based cleanser/cleansing oil as the first step and then a regular wash after that which can be one with salicylic acid. It would be good to be cautious with salicylic acid cleansers depending on strength and sometimes it is recommended to use that in rotation, for example using it only once at night and using a more gentle cleanser in the day without any AHA or BHA so as not to overdry the skin.

Hi there! We would recommend having it assessed by a dermatologist to determine a treatment that would be suited for your condition.

Salicylic acid is an exfoliant

Hi there! Salicylic acid works as an exfoliate as well, however, do try not to overuse it as it may cause irritation or excess dryness.

Hi there, Onda Coolwaves action is deep and targeted without damaging nearby skin. However, do consult your local dermatologist for more detailed information and individual’s skin suitability!

Hi there, it’s great that this routine works for you! However, every individual’s skin is different and we would recommend consulting a dermatologist if you’re unsure or start off slow when it comes to using products like a retinol to see how your skin takes to it :)

Hi there, Pico Lasers can be used to reduce the appearance of dark eye circles. Do consult you dermatologist to find out more as it may depend on individual’s skin suitability as well!

Same this happening to me what can we do

Hi there! Sorry to hear that you’ve experienced these effects from using salicylic acid cleansers! We would recommend for you to consult a dermatologist to find out what ingredients or products may be more suitable for your skin. :)

Use IPL, cheaper and less complications

Hello @sweeetsinx, thank you for your comment! Generally, yes it is ok to get 3 different laser treatments even on the same day or the same week as mentioned. It is quite common at AYD to treat patients with certain combination of lasers on the same day as lasers are very selective in what they treat, unlike broad band light, lasers are basically of a single particular wavelength, hence the laser deployed has a particular selective chromophore or target in the skin and this typically limits any collateral damage if deployed correctly with the right fluences (energy settings) for the right indications and adjusted for the skin phototype. However, the value of adding another 532nm laser as you mentioned for vessels is debatable. Most of the facial redness and broken capililaries can be treated with a 585 or 595nm laser such as the cynergy, and the pigmentation mentioned with the 755nm alexandrite laser, hence the 3rd laser may not be necessary in addition or may be duplicative to treat either vessels or even epidermal pigmentation with 532nm laser can be used to treat. Hope this helps! But treatment differs for all skin depending on the skin type and condition so please seek a dermatologist consultation for a more customised treatment plan.

Use a gentle cleanser

Hi there, we would recommend a more gentle and lightweight cleanser :)

Thank you for the comment @sweeetsinx! Glad you enjoy the videos! (:

Hi there, these lasers can be used to address a range of concerns and we would recommend consulting with a dermatologist so that he/she can assess your condition and tailor a treatment plan that is suited for your needs.
