Dr. Sam Lam Plastic Surgery Forum

Hi Dr Lam,

a)have you ever heard of fraxel causing hypopigmentation (from a single session?
b) have you ever known it to be delayed, as in not showing up for a year then suddenly appearing?
c) if so, why is it delayed?
d) is it likely permanent and if so is there anything that can be done to treat it?
e) finally, if one also developed lots of tiny milia from the fraxel is it ...

Dr. Lam,

I have a question about lasers. Have you ever seen patients who have had fat lose due to fraxel or IPL laser? I've had a few treatments of each for dark spots and wrinkles and I notice my face looks thinner.

How effective is laser facial hair removal in males? I mean in the beard and mustache area. I have fairly light skin and mostly brown hair, though the mustache and lower lip are somewhat blonde. How much would something like this cost? Thanks.

Do you guys here do both facial& hair removal?If so is there a procedure that preminatly removes uni brow hair?

Is it dangerous to have the blepharoplasty procedure done while pregnant? Also, I've had LASIK done... is there any concerns with that?

Hi Dr. Lam,

First off, I want to say what a true pleasure it was to meet you in person! I know you see lots of patients, so I will remind you--I am the girl from Chicago and saw you about 3 weeks ago for botox for "jaw reduction". Just want to say that I am seeing fabulous results and I am absolutely THRILLED with how it looks!!

Anyway, I am writing you about skin-tightening ...

Good evening Dr. Lam. I have an appt. next month for more Botox. I am interested in also addressing a couple small, red spots. One is on the bridge of my nose (looks like a tiny hemangioma to me) and the other is on my neck. I guess I need to call back and make arrangements w/Luminaire?? I wish to accomplish both w/the same visit. Please advise.

Oh-also! How do you feel about my using ...
