Hi! I had to thank you for posting this video! I had no clue this laser existed and planning a road trip to visit Dr Dika! Not any black derms in my area so I'm excited 😁
You’re welcome glad you enjoyed it & thank you so much, I’ve done microneedling before just not with PRP. I’ll talk with my dermatologist and look into it 😊
How long did it take to fully heal and get to the results? day 7 still looked like it was getting there, by the way I love the results, your skin looks amazing!
Not sure why the application of a topical steroid was done. You want inflammation to happen, that’s how the skin regenerates. We never use steroids in wound care because it prevents healing. You did great though, that treatment is certainly painful!
Ahhh okay. I know she mentioned in the video it helps to calm the skin. I’m getting microneedling with PRP done with her this week, I’m going to ask and see what she says,
@Michelle-dq7ud, we performed a sub ablative laser/resurfacing procedure and as such, do not want/need inflammation as we are removing the top layer of the skin (epidermis). This laser is similar to chemical peel (superficial, medium or deep) where we want the effects without any residual inflammation that might lead to hyperpigmentation. Once the end point has been reached, the skin is cooled down. Aerolase has another laser called Neo (1064 NdYag long pulse), this laser when used for rejuvenation, heat generation is a desired endpoint (targeting water in the dermis and as a result stimulates collagen and elastin remodeling) and cooling/icing is not recommended. I hope that this answer clarifies why a topical steroid was applied post ERA laser. Of note, we offer both Neo and ERA by Aerolase at our practice M. Dika Dermatology and more information can be found on our website mdikadermatology.com or social media @mdikadermatology (IG)
Which types of perks do you do to maintain ? Can you tell us what do you do specifically other than tretenoin and vitamin c? Also is yours melasma or regular hyperpigmentation?
For maintenance the main actives I use are tret, vitamin c, and sunscreen all the time. I get chemical peels in the winter. I’ve tried a lot of products and really a good vitamin c and tret works for me. This is for regular hyperpigmentation!
Finally a aerolase review from a BW🙌🏽
Decided to look into different laser for my Hyperpigmentation so excited to watch this
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 I hope you enjoy! Let me know if you have any questions
@@AshleyHandley thanks for the review it was very thorough! I do have a question, did it sting or feel uncomfortable to wear sunscreen?
Yw! And nope sunscreen didn’t burn, I used Colorscience spf50
@@AshleyHandley 🙏🏽 I’m glad it doesn’t make the skin tooo sensitive!
Aerolase is great for skin of color.
Interesting, I had aerolase laser on my face for my hyperpigmentation and I didn't have any noticeably laser marks on my face.
your skin looks so good! I love the results!
Thank you girl!💕
I get a lot of full body laser treatments but I haven’t tried this one. I do laser hair removal and laser facials. Your skin looks amazing.
Thank you! I really liked this one, this one can also be used for hair removal too
Thank you for this informative vlog! I'll definitely look into this. I'm skin obsessed as well and I'm always looking for new innovations
You’re welcome!😊

@@AshleyHandley can you do a video on your career … I’m trying to transition into IT AUDITING

Thank you so much! It took about a week and a half to fully heal for all the dead skin to fall off.
So beautiful !!
Thank you!😊
Love the results!
Thank you!💕
