Laser treatments for the skin| Dr Dray

[@christineyork2023]

As a clinical esthetician, I love your content & find it immeasurably helpful. Particularly your info on lasers & what to expect afterward, are so useful to me when explaining to clients.

[@holly939]

Thank you Dr. Dray! After throwing tons of money into high-end skincare in an attempt to get rid of hyperpigmentation, I finally realized my folly. I now adhere to what you advise, and my next step will be to follow up with laser treatment if I'm a candidate. Btw, dermatologist Dr. Davin Lim also a has a channel here with excellent content focusing on lasers, fillers, energy devices and surgery. It's very helpful to learn more about the various options!

Thank you for educating us on all the different types of laser treatments, and talking about the pain levels associated with these. I knew someone who got laser for rosacea, and she was in pain for MANY days and her face was bright red all that time. She didn't actually complete the treatments because of the pain of the first one. Also, she didn't see a huge benefit. I'm thinking she got one of the old school treatments, not even the right kind for her condition!

Thanks!

[@saraflora6948]

Thanks for the great content. I am revisiting this as I ponder another treatment for sun damage. When you said it feels like a hot rubber band flicking you I died, I have explained it as that since my first one a few years back. Now that I am more diligent about sun care I get these much less often. Thanks for all of the explanations!

I had the yag for pigment because I was always unhappy with my freckled face. Amazing results!! Sunscreen is a MUST to keep the beautiful results:)

I want to get a laser this year, I hate my disgusting acne scars!! I had a fraxel years ago and it helped but it was before I got my acne under control and I just got more scars! I truly appreciate that you are a compassionate dermatologist and you have always understood how traumatic acne can be even after it is gone!!😀

[@DrDrayzday]

it can help, but problem if acne is not controlled because more scarring can occur with the untreated acne

[@troymceachren704]

I received two laser treatments recently. I carefully chose my board certified dermatologist and reviewed his credentials. We discussed the process carefully and the aftercare. He recommended petrolatum and mineral sunscreen. Burst capillaries, redness, and brown spots gone! I also had a few thicken spots on my forehead from rosacea removed. I’m so happy with the results!

[@garypersonalstuff]

I was pitched on the idea of a BBL + Halo treatment. I am worried about thinning of the skin, scarring and and worried that, if doing the full face, some of my beard could stop growing. A beard that doesn't grow might look pretty strange.

[@DrDrayzday]

Thank yo u so much!

[@juliafish8832]

So informative and interesting. As a skincare junkie I have undertaken both Fraxel and V Beam lasers. Fraxel was very painful but well worth it - my skin looked incredible the following month ( my downtime was 1 week as I had a deep version) V Beam was the only laser that worked on my thread veins as you suggest. IPL did nothing for me. Thank you for sharing your incredible knowledge x

[@DrDrayzday]

Thanks!

[@helenalovelock1030]

Do you just have 1 Fraxel ? Or do you have to have a course of them ?

[@PerfectRodo]

Wonderful as always Dr. Dray! I would love to hear more of your thoughts on radio frequency treatments for skin tightening.

[@ekaterinakozlovskaia8082]

Hi dr Dray. Thank you so much, very useful video. I have done fractional laser on around the eye area to improve the area as had really deep lines there . Initially 3 treatments then twice a year to keep results. The results have been amazing. And the more treatments I do the better is that area. I put a numbing cream before and take a painkiller and it is really not so bad at all. They also give a cortisone shot to speed up the recovery. The treatment has been a miracle and a great alternative to botox which I really didn't want to do. Thanks again. Looking forward to your videos as usual!

[@lynndupree1205]

I had fraxel dual laser done one month ago. My derm recommendeds two or three of these treatments for best results, only because I am older and my skin damage is pretty severe: pre-cancers, some small basal cell cancers, and brown age spots. After the first fraxel treatment I can already see some improvement in all the above conditions, as well as fine wrinkle reduction. I had about 8 days down time while my skin peeled. Pain was very minimal with the numbing cream applied before the procedure. I look forward to completing my laser series, and I am being religious about sunscreen and retinol every day.

[@Kai-hk6yp]

Dr Dray what about the use of Pico lasers like Picoway and PicoSure for Post Inflammatory hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones? Is it worth it?

[@susanbochy9657]

Thumbs Up!! Had to go get my (Amazing day with Dr Dray) notebook out to write down all this great information!!! Thanks a bunch!! I’m not quite willing to jump on the laser table yet (fear of the unknown) but always think about doing at some point! If only I could go back in time and wear sunscreen and stop picking...UGH (picking pimples is still so hard not to do/feels better after a good squeeze but the inflamed spot Is right there looking back at me!!!

Can you potentially address IPL versus V-Beam for those with redness due to rosacea (generalized redness, not broken capillaries)? If I remember correctly I don't think it was mentioned in your rosacea video. Love your stuff + really appreciate you putting your content out there!

[@kate580423]

02:12

[@bulletbling]

Vbeam is universally better for rosacea/redness as proven in many studies. Best settings for rosacea are 0.45ms pulse duration and 4-5.5 Joules with 10mm spot size or 1.5ms pulse duration and 4.5-6.5 Joules with 10mm spot size.

[@lgempet2869]

Love the V-Beam laser.....I don’t find it painful at all & it REALLY works well on eliminating those pesky broken capillaries!

[@marleneharden544]

[@jenniferolson5345]

Thank you for the great information, I have been waiting for you to do this video since you mentioned it! I never thought of making sure to get the "all clear" from a dermatologist before getting laser treatment, so smart. I will do just that before proceeding on with laser therapy. Warm wishes from the north!

[@DrDrayzday]

Stay warm Ms Jennifer :)

[@BeautifulAwakening]

The old type of laser hair removal felt like a snapping rubber band. This worked for me. But when they changed to light therapy it never worked and gave me hyperpigmentation!!!! So I would warn others - I’m fair skinned with UK ancestry but go olive tanned in summer. It’s not just people of colour that need to be concerned

Dr. Dray, would you comment more on Vascular Lasers and/or Pulse Dye Lasers for the treatment of the appearance of broken capillaries and a few small acne scars? Also what is the general pain level of this procedure? And what is the average down time for this procedure? Thank you. I enjoy your channel and the products you share, and the links on where to find products.

[@rgrisoli]

At 6:21 you state that Er:YAG and CO2 lasers have been replaced by fractionated lasers; the reality is that Er:YAG and CO2 lasers can be "full field" or "fractionated" .

I'm due to receive fully ablative co2 laser in one month for acne scars & I'm absolutely terrified. I've gotten 4 fractional laser treatments done with mild improvement in scarring but I'm so sick of these scars that I'm seeking a more dramatic effect. Since hardly anyone performs fully ablative lasers anymore, the only person near me who does it is a medical doctor (not a dermatologist. ) He said he performs about 2 per week & has never had a client whose experienced negative side effects. I'm just so nervous 😓 😟

[@m.graciela1652]

Hi Dr. Dray! I know this video is not recent but it has been so helpful for me right now! Yesterday I had a Revlite (Q-switched) laser session performed by my dermatologist to target hyperpigmentation in my face. She gave me all the recommendations you are mentioning, but even though she said it would take some days to see the results, it was really reassuring listening to you explaining exactly what is happening to my skin (my face was red for about 30 minutes after the laser session and right now I have bigger darker marks were the spots used to be... I am waiting for those to peel). Thank you!

[@m.graciela1652]

@@underthemooon Hi! In my case, it took about 4-6 days for the spots to become scabby and then go away. Now they are completely off. My doctor checked everything was fine and my skin was great for about a week... I was so glad! But now I am worried because some of the brown spots are coming back even though I have been applying sunscreen every 2 hours and have avoided sun exposure (hats with SPF included). I am afraid I might be experiencing post-laser hyperpigmentation... I have read it happens to some people... Anyway, I will see my dermatologist again in a couple of weeks. Good luck with your hands!

[@underthemooon]

@@m.graciela1652 Thank you so much for your reply! My Derm said that sometimes certain spots may come back after the first treatment and that they could go over it with the laser again for a second time in those cases. I've been wearing tons of spf too but mostly I cover up. I'm highly prone to freckling/age spots even if I wear sunscreen, so I've found that I have to wear clothing like lightweight long sleeve shirts and driving gloves in order to really prevent spots. Thanks again, and good luck to you!

It' s been years since you posted this vid. It' s my second time getting rid of broken capillaries. I STILL NEEDED TO WATCH IT AGAIN BEFORE THE SESSION! 😅 The same Saint Derm who healed my acne and his lovely team "predicted" when one of them (the thicker one) would reappear.

[@sambambina8063]

What kind of laser treatment did you get? Happy for you and hope your results are fantastic

[@sebumpostmortem]

@@sambambina8063 According to my skin and the pigment of the capillaries, the team decided that PDL is the one for me (Puslated Die Laser). It' s literally a rubber band that went to the wrong direction and a camera flash (in spite of being 🕶️ protected, you see the room like a disco) Then, you feel exactly the same than when you accidentally hit with a door😅. The hematoma lasts about a week where I apply _arnica_ everytime my skin drinks it and ta-daaah!!!✨ I' ve noticed that tretinoine (it' s been 3 years using it) helps to reduce the amount, the frequency and the intensity of the new ones. Dr Dray said that tret reinforces the vascular system so it makes total sense. Don' t hesitate to ask me about any other procedure. Sending tones of health 🧛🏻‍♀️🖤

Thank you for your content - it's so nice to have an unbiased, scientific source. I am 35 years old with post acne hyperpigmintation (a revolving issue since I was about 25 when the spots started to take longer to fade), some minor sun damage, and did have melasma during my pregnancy 7 years ago. The office I go to for botox recommended I try the Clear & Brilliant laser for my discoloration complaints (I already use great sun screen, prescription retin a and hq on and off and have for many years). Do you think it's worth a try, or a waste of money? Thanks!

[@DrDrayzday]

seems unlikely to work

[@emmabrown3401]

Hi Dr Dray , I’ve been recommended clear & brilliant to treat similar issues (pigmentation, melasma, sun damage). Is Clear & Brilliant not an effective laser? The shorter downtime compared to a stronger laser seems like an advantage, but if it’s not effective at removing pigmentation and melasma I don’t see any point in undergoing treatment with Clear & Brilliant. Would love to hear your thoughts!

It sounds like the older CO2 might be the best for anti aging even if it has a longer downtime. Is it better than the newer fractionated laser? Thank you.

[@christianmaala9815]

Yes! Some places that do lasers have nurses do it which can be okay for some but since my laser treatments will be to heal scaring I went to a plastic surgeon who has written scholarly journals on lasers, help develop lasers, a professor and is a graduate from Stanford University. My skin is olive so I kinda need to be SUPER picky.

[@TheLindaEdit]

GREAT video that anyone considering laser treatment MUST watch! One of the best Dr. Dray on KZbin! I live in the Dallas area so I have several choices for dermatology. Do your research friends! I actually have TWO dermatologist that I see. One specialist is for skin evaluation like moles and checking to see if any sun damaged spots or areas might need to be taken off and biopsied. So far no skin cancer. He is very conservative and I like that. Also charts my skin so he keeps track of any area that may change. I go at a minimum of once a year. The other dermatologist specialist is for laser treatments and other more cosmetic concerns. A few months ago I had my first Fraxel laser treatment and your description is spot on. My results are fantastic and I can't wait to have a second treatment. Because of the cost and down time, probably will schedule for 12 months from my first treatment. For me it was a week at home :). Also I would be interested in seeing a video on hair removal. Years ago I had my underarms done over I think it was 5 or 6 treatments and it has been really good. I'm considering other areas. xo xo

Hi Andrea! Loved this video, as usual. ❤️ You are just amazing. I have truly enoyed this series! Wondering if you could add 2 videos to your list? One on sebaceous hyperplasia (my issue) and another for teens (my issue also lol). Speaking to teens about sunscreen and why it is so important to start wearing it daily, even at their age. I have twin boys, almost 17 years old, and I am pulling my hair out trying to get them to understand why. Their grandpa having skin cancer isn't even enough. Plus they have fair skin, have been burned before, and have a significant amount of moles already. They say "oh it's winter". They don't understand snow reflects light right back into the car at their face!

I can’t wait to get my fractional c02 laser for my scars . My scars are on top of a main vein in my arm and it’s affecting the way the vein pumps blood. So my circulation hasn’t been the best.

[@evalovestolove6591]

Good question! I'd love to know the answer to this as well!?

[@ineedabeachnow7205]

I listened to another derm video on this last night. The likelihood the collagen in a powder will actually make it into your skin is very very low. And even if it did make it there, it would have to work with the complicated way our skin manufactures collagen. However, if you are amino acid deficient then supplementing can help body function that in turn could have a positive affect on your skin.

What about melasma? Is IPL good to treat melasma? Thank you for all your videos. They are really educational and very useful.

I’m so happy I subscribed to your channel. So informative and no nonsense I love it. I was wondering what you think about Paula’s Choice? Their products seems well formulated but so expensive!

Thanks! I don't see the hype

Dr. Dray, I notice the Snow White Cream contains mineral oil. I’ve always heard that was not a good ingredient in skin care products. What do you think? I find your videos SO helpful! Thank you! :)

[@DrDrayzday]

Just wanted to add there are also newer picosecond lasers that are more effective in treating tattoos than just the older q-switch lasers depending on the colors and other factors of your tattoo sometimes multiple wavelengths are needed. Also, Infini is another type of radio frequency device that also utilizes micro-needling with RF to precise depths of the skin in different areas. A newer treatment for acne scarring and skin tightening /rejuvenation. Finally , Ultherapy and even newer Vzet are ultrasound HIFU technologies for lifting and somewhat tightening the skin by collagen stimulation with no downtime. I agree with Dr. Dray you are much better off with a qualified derm than a Med Spa!

[@DrDrayzday]

yeah i aimed to give a broad overview...i can only cover so much in the span of a youtube video

[@user-xv1kp6qf7h]

Dr Dray oh my gosh I know there are just a crazy amount of new technology and ever evolving procedures that they keep coming up with. Would be here all day to go over every single one. One thing I like to remind people of there is no magic wand that people want these lasers to be. Wasn't a criticism. Very informative video. Good reminder that an assessment needs to be done by the dermatologist before lasering over any lesions. We have seen this happen at a Med spa where the skin cancer was missed and metastasized to lymph nodes, very sad and scary.

Hi, Dr Dray, how long before and after an ipl treatment do you have to discontinue use of tretinoin?

[@sandilang3845]

Hi Dr. Dray, Would you be so kind as to speak to the NIRA laser, it is very expensive and influencers are really pushing the NIRA. Thank you so much, looking forward to what you have to say about this because I trust you.
