African (dark or ebony) Skin and Cosmetic Procedure FAQ
Link Here 701 days ago
Q: I am African American. How do I get rid of dark scarring from acne and eczema breakouts?
A: This is a difficult problem since black people do not want to remove all of the pigment but merely reduce the amount of color in darker areas so as to match the lighter brown of the rest of the skin. A white area actually looks worse! My suggestion to you is to seek out someone experienced with treatment of darker skin with lasers. This is the only controlled way of reducing but not eliminating the excess pigment. I would suggest either a Q-switched KYP or Q-switched ruby laser for this process. Make certain that test spots are performed first and that at least 3 months is left after test before an actual treatment. It can take a while for the pigment to reduce on African skin types and many cosmetic surgeons whatever their race seem to be unaware of this.
Q: I am a 21 year old black woman who as of late has had abnormal growth of facial hair. At first I thought that I might have polycystic ovaries or it could be attributed to the 85 lbs I have gained these past four years at college. Others say that the hair is so thin that they can’t see it. Nonetheless, I am very self-conscious about it. Is laser hair removal a safe alternative for me? I am not ‘fair-skinned’ and in my research I’ve found that the surgery is recommended for people with very dark hair, which I have, and light complexions. I have also heard that hormone replacements might do the trick. I believe that I have solicited this hair growth by removing hair when there was very little growth ( i.e. waxing, shaving, etc). Much to my dismay the hairs have grown back thicker. Which lasers would be best used on me? What is the scar risk? Alternatives? How much would the surger cost?
A: You are looking into this at a very opportune time since third generation hair removal lasers have just become FDA approved in the US. These lasers will remove the unwanted hair with very little risk (when used by the right laser surgeon) and give very good results after 3 to 5 treatments of an area. I would not suggest hormone replacements since they have far more universal effects on your body. Weight loss always helps since hormones are altered by fat in the peripheral tissue. The best lasers to use are long-pulsed YAG lasers of which there are several, the most effective, likely, being the LYRA laser by Laserscope. I would suggest that you find a laser surgeon in your area with this laser. Treatment costs vary across the country. Average cost seems to be $50 per square inch of facial skin treated per treatment. Scarring almost never occurs.
Q: Facial peels for African American skin
A few weeks ago a girlfriend who is african-american had a proceedure done which is called skin peeling. Her skin looked radiant, and glowed as well as seeming a little lighter.I am interested in the proceedure as well, at this time I would like to know the health effects if any, and exactly what is this proceedure.
A:There are many types of skin peeling, but the two most superficial are with glycolic acid and salicylic acid in a 20-30% concentration. These superficial peels (sometimes called “lunchtime peels”, since you could have them on your lunch break and nobody would know you had it done when you went back to work. These smooth the skin, clean and tone pores, reduce pigmentation abnormalities such as sun freckles or melasma and help reduce acne. If done multiple times, they may help reduce fine lines. There are also nowadays laser skin peels which take longer but can be a deeper tratment but caution is needed with black skin. Try a microdermabrasion home-kit first (available from many cosmetiics stores) then if this does not work go for a chemical peel. General Laser peels are not recommended for African skin types at the moment.
Q: I’m a 30 year old black woman who has been battling acne and espcially hyperpigmentation associated with acne scarring since I was a teenager. I’ve been to dermatologists and aestheticians and received accutane, antibiotics and a couple of years worth of chemical peels and micro-dermabrasion with little results. I’m interested in getting rid of this problem once and for all! My question: Is a laser procedure a safe and viable option for Black skin with my condition and how much does such a treatment run? My complexion is medium-brown and I was told a couple of years ago that lasers were not recommended for my skin tone, so I’m wondering if the technology has improved since then. If not, what other options do I have?
A: Laser procedures work very well on your skin color nowadays (technology changes!). It is the best means of evening out your pigmentary problems as well as improving the scarring. The trouble is that not very many physicians have experience with non-white skin in laser resurfacing. There is no question in my mind that you can be greatly improved with a laser resurfacing procedure. Be careful when you select your clinic and ask how many times they have performed this procedure on Dark skin tones such as yours.
Penis Augmentation surgery Penis Enlargement Phalloplasty
Link Here 701 days ago
Penis enlargement surgery also known as Phalloplasty is a relatively simple, safe operation that is usually performed on an outpatient basis.
There are two seperate procedures, one to lengthen the penis and one to increase its girth. Some individuals may only need one of these procedures, others may need bot. They can be conducted at the same time. Both Phalloplasty operations are completely natural and do not involve the introduction of implants or other foreign materials.
The first, a lengthening procedure, involves the release by cutting of the suspensory ligament that connects the penis to the pubic bone, which allows access to the section of the penis hidden behind the skin wall. He is then able to extend the length of the penis in proportion to the length of the organ’s internal section.
Once the additional erectile tissue is exposed, the ligament is reattached to the bone. A flap of skin from in front of the pubic bone is brought down to cover the newly-exposed section of erectile tissue
The increase in length varies depending on a patient’s anatomy. However, results generally range from 1” to more than 2 1/2”. The average additional length is 1 1/2” to 2”. The limiting factor is the length of a patient’s suspensory legament. There is absolutely no way to predict what the length gain will be prior to surgery.
The enlargement procedure involves a simple transfer of fat cells from the patient’s lower abdomen into the tissue region between the skin and the erectile tissue of the penis. A patient’s own fat cells are used for augmentation because they do not run the risk of rejection by the body.
The result of this Phalloplasty is a penis of the same shape and length but greater in circumference. Because the penile shaft is narrower than the maximum diameter of the head, the doctor usually fills out the shaft slightly beyond the head’s maximum diameter to maintain proper proportion.
Penile circumference can be increased by around 30-50 percent, depending on the results desired by the patient.
In each procedure, increases occur in both the flacid and erect state, although length gain in the flacid state is generally greater.
Lengthening and augmentation procedures take approximately 25 minutes each; surgery involving both procedures usually runs no more than 55 minutes.

Laser Hair Removal For Black Skin Types
Link Here 873 days ago
Because of the way laser hair removal works Black people have to be careful since the laser can destroy the pigment producing organelles in the skin cells leading to a semi-permanent patchy whitening effect. If you dont want to end up looking like Michael Jackson then its best to seek out a Physician who has the Lyra System from Laserscope.
The Laserscope Lyra-i 1064 nm laser produces a deeply penetrating, consistently therapeutic wavelength. This combination of the wavelength, long pulses and safe therapeutic energies makes the Lyra laser unique when compared with most other laser systems. The principal reason for this design was to produce a system that would be safe and effective on all skin types, including very dark and tanned patients. Before Lyra systems became available, no other laser could be used on all skin tones.
Lyra-i is the newest generation of a laser series introduced in 1999, and has been cleared by the FDA for the safe and effective treatment of all skin types, including those who wish to be treated while tanning.
Hundreds of Lyra laser systems are in use around the world by many prominent physicians in aesthetic medicine. In fact many of the famous faces in the world are kept youthful by Lyra’s unique ability to treat facial wrinkles as well as remove hair.

The Basics of Liposuction
Link Here 874 days ago
Liposuction is a procedure that can help sculpt the body by removing unwanted fat from specific areas, including the abdomen, hips, buttocks, thighs, knees, upper arms, chin, cheeks and neck. During the past decade, liposuction, which is also known as “lipoplasty” or “suction lipectomy,” has benefited from several new refinements. Today, a number of new techniques, including ultrasound-assisted lipoplasty and the super-wet technique, are helping many plastic surgeons to provide selected patients with more precise results and quicker recovery times. Although no type of liposuction is a substitute for dieting and exercise, liposuction can remove stubborn areas of fat that don’t respond to traditional weight-loss methods.
The best candidates for liposuction are normal-weight people with firm, elastic skin who have pockets of excess fat in certain areas. You should be physically healthy, psychologically stable and realistic in your expectations. Your age is not a major consideration; however, older patients may have diminished skin elasticity and may not achieve the same results as a younger patient with tighter skin.
Chronically obese patients may require other oprations to remove loose skin folds and correct other obsity caused abnormalities.
The Basics of Rhinoplasty
Link Here 874 days ago
Rhinoplasty, or surgery to reshape the nose, is one of the most common of all plastic surgery procedures. Rhinoplasty can reduce or increase the size of your nose, change the shape of the tip or the bridge, narrow the span of the nostrils, or change the angle between your nose and your upper lip.
If you’re considering rhinoplasty, this information will give you a basic understanding of the procedure -when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on the individual patient and the surgeon.
Rhinoplasty can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.
The best candidates for rhinoplasty are people who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy, psychologically stable, and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.
Age may also be a consideration. Many surgeons prefer not to operate on teenagers until after they’ve completed their growth spurt-around 14 or 15 for girls, a bit later for boys. It’s important to consider teenagers’ social and emotional adjustment, too, and to make sure it’s what they, and not their parents, really want.
