Pearly Penile Papules (PPP) is a treatable condition that affects a small percentage of men in the United States. The small white bumps around the head of the penis are more than a cosmetic nuisance. My patients complain of occasional irritation and soreness after sex. They can be mistaken for STD and will not go away without medical intervention.

I have treated several dozen such patients over the past 15 years with a combination of Mixto Co2 laser and electrocautery with excellent cosmetic results.

The treatment is practically painless and recovery is about 4-7 days. The risk of scarring is minimal and the majority of the patients are very happy with the laser treatment.

Here are a few examples:

PPP or Pearly Penile Papules

I have treated nearly 100 patients with PPP over the past 16 years.

This benign condition can cause profound anxiety in younger men.

It is easily treatable with lasers and leaves virtually no marks.

I start the consultation with a thorough medical exam followed by detailed photographs outlining the procedure and healing phases. 1-2 sessions are usually needed to eliminate the problem. The healing phase is 5-7 days. Mild redness and soreness can last up to 2 weeks.

I often see patients with deep acne scarring who have atrophic, ice pick, box car, and rolling scars.

These types of scarring are difficult to treat. Each type of scar requires a separate modality and special consideration.

Ice pick scars are punched out using different size round punches. The holes are basically excised and the skin surtured back in place. The ensuing scar from the excision is evened off using a CO2 fractional laser (Mixto CO2).

Rolling and atrophic scars are treated with Subcison.

Subcision involves using a small knife under the skin to cut the bands that are pulling the skin down.

The skin is tightened using Ultherapy or Pelleve.

I call this combination therapy “The Neda protocol”

Sculptra and Juvederm Voluma can be used to fill in the hollowness in the temple area. This hollowness happens as we age and worsens in the 50s and 60s.

In addition to harvested fat, Juvederm Voluma and Bellafill can be used to fill these imperfections and rejuvenate the face. The treatment is practically painless and requires little to no downtime.

There is a new filler in town!

Restylane Silk was introduced this week and I had a chance to use it for the first time. I think the jury is still out on its longevity. I loved the way it glided in the syringe and achieved great results in sculpting luscious lips. It may also have a role in acne scarring and shallow lines around the eyes and mouth.

The key will fillers into the lip area is achieving a natural look. Big lips are out and luscious silky lips are in.

Please call us for specials this month on Restylane Silk.

here is an article by Dave that I found interesting

I am often asked about oral and IV solutions to lighten the skin

the bottom line is that we don't have enough information to know the true safety profile

I would stay away from these treatments until we truly know.

Glutathione injections have been out in the cosmetic market for quite sometime now. Interestingly, the demands are in an all-time high despite of its costly value.”If you crave for a not-just-white-but-glowing skin, then go grab these injections and you’ll never regret”- this is one of the promises of Glutathione…But the question is, can it also promise us safety?

A few days back, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that Glutathione injections were not safe for the sole purpose of skin whitening. Additionally, FDA Director Suzette Lazo emphasized that the use of Glutathione was never approved as a skin whitener.

A huge number of Filipinos are using Glutathione injections as one of their beauty secrets. I even personally know some people who use the drug and never did I encounter a single complaint from any of them.  And by the way, they were using the authentic ones…

So what really is the issue? Well, i can spot two…It’s either you get a genuine glutathione injection and enjoy its benefits or be fooled and take the fake ones then end up getting all the fatal effects…

Anyhow, the bottom line is  “It’s always better to be safe than sorry”.So think twice! Here are some of the mentioned side effects and complications of Glutathione injections

Side effects of Glutathione Injections

• Skin whitening ( the most famous side effect!)
• Hair loss
• White spots on the nails
• Numbness of extremities
• Shivers and shakes
• Depression and anxiety

Complications of Glutathione Injections

Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome

• Allergy or Anaphylaxis ( manifested by difficulty of breathing,tightness of chest, rashes, hives,and swollen skin)
• Systemic Infection
• Stevens–Johnson Syndrome
• Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis or Lyell’s Syndrome

Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis

• Kidney Failure
• Thyroid Dysfucntion
• Severe abdominal pain

Contraindications of Glutathione Injections

Stevens-Johnsons Syndrome

• Never use for people under chemotherapy. It may decrease the potency of anti-cancer drugs.
• Not advised for people with chronic kidney failure and liver problem because it may cause digestive complications such as sever pain and persistent diarrhea.
• Do not use during pregnancy and breastfeeding,
• May worsen asthmatic episodes, thus it is not recommend for asthmatic individuals.

The use of this drug should always be closely monitored by a medical professional. Do not self administer, always consult an expert for a proper assessment and accurate advice. This substance does not promise absolute results for everyone. Remember, our body is uniquely created, what’s effective to others may not be effective to you. Always seek medical advice.
