Dr. Michael E. Jones5 things to consider, first
This week, I’ll be discussing the top five considerations for ethnic skin before selecting surgery:
1. Skin Tone – Not all ethnic skin (even for people within the same ethnic groups) is the same; therefore, not all procedures may be appropriate for your skin type. When researching various procedures, it is important to understand that variations in skin color can contribute to determining the procedure or technique that would yield the best results for your skin type. The most common non-surgical treatments that are a cause for concern when done on ethnic skin include:
a. Laser Hair Removal and Laser skin Tightening (with the wrong laser)
b. Deep Chemical Peels
c. Deep Demermabrasion
