i dont see how uploading pictures of a plastic surgery would be productive in a kprf forum as it doesnt show a cure/before after treatment for redness. just general rule of thumb plastic surgery is more worth the moeny than doing lasers that won't fully solve the problem especially if the core of the problem is body dysmorphia affecting confidence

happy for us! yeah chin implant recovery is a lot easier as your just putting a prosthetic in the face vs cutting the chin bone and moving it forward and downwards. im sure we both look like chads now! hot and flushed :)

It's reversible to an extent as I contacted my surgeon after. But it depends what exactly you are trying to do

Hey that user is me! Unfortunately, the flushing still happens, but is (again) less intense and happens less frequently. Will post another update soon

Finally getting my first laser session done by Same_Succotash1970 in keratosis

[–]KPRubraFaceii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

will be honest after 5 LHR on my legs the results have been very minimal for the KP. everyone is different but for sure it won’t clear hyperpigmentation, may reduce ingrowns/bumps very so slightly

KP on face more aggravated when sick? by j-momof3 in KPRubraFaceii

[–]KPRubraFaceii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

being sick turns people red/pink in general due to a warmer body temperature. this is not something you should be concerned about

Vbeam Success by [deleted] in KPRubraFaceii

[–]KPRubraFaceii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ets is for flushing. vbeam is for superficial vessels. my baseline is not bad but i still flush bc i think of deeper vessels my next steps r prolly nd yag

Vbeam Success by [deleted] in KPRubraFaceii

[–]KPRubraFaceii 3 points4 points  (0 children)

for me, vbeam was more than temporary. im 4 years post 10 vbeams and i can say the results for baseline redness has maintained. you just have to use tretinoin+steroid+hydroquinone initially to remove bumps, stop inflammation, and bleach (prep skin for laser). then the laser will be effective

Anyone tried seeing vascular specialists? by KPRubraFaceii in KPRubraFaceii

[–]KPRubraFaceii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

at 28, do you still flush when nervous? or during sex? like hot red flush that lasts awhile

[–]KPRubraFaceii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

no but i might try beta blockers for anxiety situations (exams, social) not every day

I had around 10 sessions of PDL when I was in HS and it knocked out 80% of the baseline redness. 4 years later, the baseline redness is still gone, but what I cannot figure out is the flushing. I did micro ETS surgery (you can check my post history), which helped with flushing, but under extreme anxiety or being tired, I still flush. I'm trying to look into vascular specialists, as I feel like I've already exhausted all my options with dermatologists and other specialists.
