Best laser skin rejuvenation treatments w/ Dr Darren McKeown

Рет қаралды 6,180

Күн бұрын

This week I'm talking to aesthetic specialist Dr Darren McKeown about how he is using an 'old school' ablative laser to deliver dramatic and natural skin resurfacing results for his patients - but, as he warns, it's not for the faint hearted!
We also discuss best laser treatments for different issues and how fully ablative laser compares to fractional laser treatments and BBL, also used in clinic by @DrDarrenMcKeown.

I’m not so sure I trust someone who looks like they over used Botox and fillers. He does not look natural and I found it very distracting. I’m Trying to grow old gracefully- still trying to look human and real.

He has spoken about having surgery at a young age in the press, something he regrets now. But he's a lovely person who wants to make sure his patients get natural results www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/23766936/cosmetic-surgeon-regret-getting-work-done/

@faithgky Ай бұрын

The article mentions him regretting surgeries he had when he was “young”, implying that it was years ago. That can’t be true based on pictures of him online. He may be a talented surgeon but his freakishly unlined unnatural filler face looks disfigured and speaks to a bad case of body dysmorphia, not something I want to see in a person doing things to my face. I can’t even watch the rest of the video. It’s like taking diet and exercise advice from someone who is clearly anorexic. I hope he gets help before he ends up in Hollywood on an episode of Botched. 🙁

Fascinating! As a dentist, I am especially impressed with the time he takes injecting the anesthetic. A second thing that was eye-opening, so to speak: the shield contact lenses. The third thing: his speculation about steroids and fungal infection-this makes total sense.

@lolitanolita9107 2 ай бұрын

Darker skin tone should be very careful with certain type of lasers such as BBLs... Also, people suffering from hyperpigmentation such as melasma, should never go for lasers that use heat.

@le_th_ 2 ай бұрын

That is an understatement, especially when talking about a CO2 laser treatment, which makes ever the palest caucasian skin white. This highly ablative laser is NOT for darker skin tones and ever caucasian-skinned people must consider if they are okay with their skin being forever that pale because there is no going back after a CO2 laser treatment. Other lasers can have a darkening effect, if placed in inexperienced hands so go to someone who *specializes* is medium to darker skin tones. Such good advice to offer others this warning!

Not you posting this literally a day after my first BBL treatment 😂 Lovely discussion! My dermatologist convinced me to try out BBL at their esthetic clinic when I brought up concerns about pigmentation, and I'm excited to see the results. I'm still pretty young, be he also said it was a great treatment for skin health and preventative aging to get them every 6 months or so.

Congrats to you for having your skin damage managed *earlier* rather than later, and especially if you were a lifeguard or had some other outside job when you were a teenager. I had my first 3 IPL treatments when I was 38 because of all the *early-teens* sun damage I had, including sun poisoning (to the point of 2nd degree burns) one summer when I was 16. I went from looking 40 to men thinking I was in my late 20s (which was problematic because I didn't date men in their late 20s lol). I didn't need them every six months after having 3 in a row. Your results may vary... I had another 3 IPL treatments by the time I was 46, and the results were good but not quite as extraordinary as those first 3 which targeted the majority of the early damage and made the biggest improvement in my skin (again, males in their early 30s asking me out thinking I was their age). Keep in mind, if you are having your face treated with BBL, your neck and decollete will likely also benefit from treatment (hands, too, in your 30s & 40s). Best wishes to you~

I think most clinics prefer to treat an area of the face rather than an isolated spot but it might be one to check out with local practitioners.

Thank you for answering my comment. I just got a full face (and neck) ablative fractional CO2 laser done last Wednesday. I’m still crusty and recovering. Definitely very intense treatment and I’m hoping to reep results in a couple of months. I was just wondering whether, should I need more work done on those darn lip lines, fully ablative would be something to explore. Anyways, thank you once more for this informative insight on fully ablative co2 laser. :)

I’ve had fully ablative four times…it did NOT work for lip lines our nasal-labial folds. In fact, the third treatment I got for half price, and the fourth was free, simply because the treatment didn’t work at all for my lower face.

Yes, he did say and very specifically stated he prefers Sciton lasers for their precision and accuracy over all others. He is talking about CO2 lasers if you are asking about which type (versus which brand of laser) of resurfacing laser offers this once-in-a-lifetime, rather extreme resurfacing.

Hi Jill. Costs for BBL, fractional or full ablative laser resurfacing will vary from clinic to clinic and region to region - sometimes wildly! Dr Darren's prices are listed on his website which is linked in the description. A lot of clinics include price lists on their websites if you're interested in treatments near you.
