Does Latisse work on eyebrows or the lower lashes?

Use of Latisse for eyebrows and lower lashes
Apr 3, 2016

While currently only indicated for upper eyelashes, Latisse has been used off-label for the eyebrows and lower lashes. Many of my patients have used Latisse successfully for enhancing their thinning eyebrows.  There is likely an adequate amount of product that gets transferred to the lower lashes through blinking, so probably do not need to apply directly.

What are these holes?

Acne scarring and enlarged pores
Jan 13, 2015

Not sure if you had a history of acne, but it appears to be acne scarring (with some slightly enlarged pores on your cheeks also). There are multiple treatment options including scar revision or subcision, laser resurfacing, dermabrasion,…I recommend seeing a dermatologist or plastic surgeon to discuss what might be the right treatment for you.

Can fillers help small, short lips?

Filler for small, short lips
Jun 26, 2014

I think you have nice lips to begin with, but a hyaluronic acid filler (Juvederm, Restylane) can definitely give your lips a little more volume and perhaps “fit your face” more to your liking. The procedure is relatively quick and you will see results immediately.

Often there is also a bluish hue if the filler is too superficial. I would return to see the injecting physician (or another reputable physician if you prefer) to be evaluated. An injection of hyaluronidase can help to dissolve the filler if necessary.

Is it Okay to Get Botox to Frown Lines Only and Not Forehead as Well?

Botox for frown lines only
Mar 2, 2012

I agree with many other doctors on the panel – you can certainly get only the frown lines injected, but often the "Spock" eyebrows can occur when only injecting that area. One or two units injected above the lateral brow can help to avoid or fix this problem (should not be considered a new "area" or "location"). An experienced physician should be able to guide you in deciding what is appropriate for you. Many physicians do not charge by the…

Will Hyaluronidase Dissolve Radiesse.

Radiesse cannot be dissolved by hyaluronidase
Jun 7, 2011

Unfortunately, hyaluronidase only dissolves hyaluronic acid based fillers such as Restylane, Perlane and Juvederm. There is currently no agent that helps to dissolve or reverse the effects of Radiesse – only time. Since Radiesse is not reversible and typically lasts longer than hyaluronic acid fillers, it is important to have the injections performed by an experienced, skilled physician.
