			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I have Acne scaring, very deep, can it be fixed ? Also, <a href="http://www.westsidemedicalspa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/acne-scar-BeforeAndAfter.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3013" title="acne-scar-BeforeAndAfter" src="http://www.westsidemedicalspa.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/acne-scar-BeforeAndAfter.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="130" /></a>my face is very thin, can I have fuller face?</p>
<p><em>Acne scarring is treatable but there are no shortcuts. The best method currently is fractionated CO2 laser. You will have about a week of downtime and there is some mild discomfort (not pain, just a feeling of tightness and heat &#8211; like a sunburn) but you will get real results. You will most likely need more than one treatment.<br />
In terms of filling out the face, fillers can work for subtle and natural looking changes, but I would need to see a picture to know where and how much filler to use. I mostly use Radiesse for increasing the volume of the face. It is a safe and effective filler that lasts a good amount of time.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>I have had 4 deep chemical peels done to remove severe acne scarring over the past 7 years. After the last one my skin has stayed bright red. It has been almost a year now and it is not fading. I now have to always use a moisturizer with a green tint and thick waterproof makeup in order to cover it up and it still looks red in pictures. I won&#8217;t even let my husband see me without makeup. I am scared to go swimming with my kids because the makeup might wash off. I had the chemical peels so I wouldn&#8217;t have to wear so much makeup. What would be the best treatment to get rid of the red?</p>
<p>Also I am 37 and have droopy upper eyelids, they almost rest on my upper lashes. The are not crepey but just a fold. Is there something I could do other than eye surgery?</em></p>
<p>That&#8217;s a long time to be red!  You should not have to suffer through this without help.</p>
<p>I would go to your dermatologist and ask their advice about the redness.  IPL photofacial or YAG laser treatment would be a good idea for you.  You will probably need several treatments, but it is worth it.</p>
<p>By the way, you may want to speak to the office that did your last peel. This is a problem that they had a hand in causing, so they may want to take some responsibility in fixing it.</p>
<p>In terms of your eyes, I do not think that you are going to get away from having a blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) &#8211; there&#8217;s no way to tighten that skin non-surgically. The good news is that it sounds like you have an issue that insurance may cover: when the skin folds over so much that it interferes with vision, medical insurance will cover the procedure. I would speak with an oculoplastic specialist.<br />Hope that helps.</p>
