I started following you back in March and I’ve been following your advice using MDAIre, taking vitamin C, Collagen peptides, Helocare, and had a full ablative laser in May (Ultra Clear), increase water intake, use color science SPF, stopped using oil on my face, etc, and my almost 54 year old skin looks sooooo much better! So glad I found you and thanks for your dedication to educating us!! I’ve been inspired when you said your skin is a dynamic organ and it’s never to late to start! Many thanks Dr. Kapel! We love you!!

Thanks Dr Kappel, amazing video as usual! I appreciate you pointing out how deeper skin tones are often not understood and just ignored in the medical and beauty industry. Definitely one of the many ways racism is deeply imbedded in our world. It's been awesome to see this changing over the past several years from simple things like cosmetic lines offering a wider range of skin tones with things like foundation and powders, to professionals like yourself doing the work to train and build knowledge. Plus, it's just good for business to serve as much of the population as you can!

Dr Kappel, thanks for all your amazing videos! I had my first ever laser treatment 5 months ago at age 32, which was a fractional ablative CO2 laser and I'm very happy with the results despite the long recovery time. I would like to improve and maintain my results with non-ablative laser treatments in the future and I was wondering how long should I wait to do that and how far apart should the sessions be spaced?

Hi Dr Kappel, I live on the East Coast and am literally in the parking lot after just having had Ellacore on my mid-face down to my collar bone , and Dual Fraxel on the upper third of my face. I have high pain tolerance and with the numbing injections my experience was that the Ellacore pain level was relatively acceptable. Sure, I felt much of it, particularly at the edges of my face and on the bony structures, but it was tolerable. ( No numbing injections on my neck, is that typical? ) . The Dual non-ablative Fraxel , however, was SO painful. WOWSA. One of the assistants did put some numbing cream all over my face 90 minutes before the procedure, but, oh my gosh, it felt like I had no pain relief. The Dr wants to do ablative Fraxel next time… Yikes! Any suggestions for better pain control? I do not want to go under any anesthesia, nor does he offer it. Thank you so much for your advice.

Do you have to do a series of these if you're just trying to keep collagen and elastin in your skin. I don't have brown spots or deep wrinkles. A few lines around my mouth but not bad for a 49 year old women. I was thinking about doing this for my 50th birthday in February. Gift to myself, but I'm afraid of the downtime and side effects. My husband complains about what my fave looks like after a simple chemical peel! It's soooo annoying!! I know you don't like mucroneedling. I actually love them! My LME goes pretty deep for me, and i just get light swelling and a sunburned look for really just a day and 1/2. No complaints from hubby! 🙄

I went in to go and get a fraxel treatment last week and the doctor said I don't have the skin type for fraxel. She suggested the pico laser instead but multiple sessions. Unfortunately I don't have the money for multiple sessions so I was heart broken when I couldn't get a once off fraxel. My plan was to go in once a year. I have pigmentation on my forehead from the contraceptive pill and I have slightly olive skin. She said I'm a skin type 4. What setting would one use for my kind of skin?

@NjekjkАй бұрын
Bad idea. That’s way overkill. CO2 is the most aggressive laser that requires a lot of aftercare and downtime/healing. I believe you’d damage your skin if you did 3 treatments. Surgeons do not study the skin like a dermatologist does so they lack education in skin health. Check out Dr kappels other vids. She has a ton on laser education.

How does the Picosure Pro compare to fraxel dual for collagen stimulation/antiaging. I’m asking because the provider I trust only has Picosure Pro or I’d have to find another provider I’ve never used before for Fraxel Dual (which makes me nervous). But I do want the biggest bang for my buck (I’ve never had laser before and just turned 40 and wanted a bday gift for myself). Thanks!
