25.01.2022 Next up we have our Dr Joel Carmody @drjoelcarmody1 to share his thoughts on Skin Cancer Action Week #skincancer #skincancerawareness #skincanceractionweek2020 #skincancerdoctor #gp #dermatology #slipslopslap

25.01.2022 Phototherapy - please note Newstead and Manly are closed for Ekka Holiday tomorrow but NORTHLAKES IS OPEN. At Brisbane Skin, we specialise in the use of narrowband UVB for the treatment of conditions such as eczema, psoriasis and vitiligo. Our state-of-the-art UVB units emit a wavelength of UVB (311nm) which is considered safe and extremely low risk for skin cancer, but highly successful as an anti-inflammatory for conditions like those listed above.... Our dermatologists will often prescribe creams and tablets to optimise your results, but if you are someone looking for a non-pharmaceutical, natural option for the treatment of your eczema or psoriasis, we can prescribe UVB on its own Phototherapy treatments are offered at our Newstead, North Lakes and Manly clinics, and are BULK BILLED for Australian patients with medicare, or Veterans Affairs patients who have coverage for skin conditions. Treatments are generally performed 2-3x per week, and initially start at a few seconds only and gradually increase to a few minutes. Dr Manoharan oversees the UVB treatments at all our sites and as you know, as one of the leading laser dermatologists in the country, loves utilising laser and light based devices not only for cosmetic purposes, but also for medical conditions. Come in for a complimentary consult with one of our nurses or therapists to be assessed, educated and start on your phototherapy journey with us. #uvb #PUVA #phototherapy #eczema #psoriasis #vitiligo #laseredbydrm #laserguru #eczematreatment #psoriasistreatment #vitiligotreatment #dermatologist #skinspecialist #skinhealth #skincare #lifechanging

25.01.2022 There has been some recent controversy about fractional non-ablative lasers, with claims that some newer devices are better than traditional lasers. Here at Brisbane Skin, we continue to back the science, results and safety profile of Fraxel, the pioneering device. Launched in 2004, Fraxel has the largest number of studies and publications, as well as proven safety track record for non-ablative fractional lasers.... Dr M has utilised the device since 2013, and pioneered high level settings, combination treatments and novel applications of this device in Australia over the last decade. Brisbane Skin are also one of the biggest Fraxel clinics in the country with an average of 12 treatments a day all year round. It is a fabulous device for light to moderate rejuvenation, pigment, sun damage, wrinkles and scarring, with low downtime. Fraxel can be performed in winter or summer, with the right protocols and aftercare plans. Those who require heavier treatments obviously move towards ablative laser or surgery. But for those looking for safe, effective, preven results in 2020, such as this patient of ours, come on by for a complimentary consult with one of our nurses or therapists today.

24.01.2022 Eye rejuvenation is a delicate art, and involves the use of skin care, injectables, lasers and other energy based devices, or surgery to provide the required results based on the patients age and skin type, severity of changes, downtime and expectations. This is one of Dr Ms long-term patients who was in her 60s, who was looking for nonsurgical improvement of her undereye wrinkles. She was not keen on injectables, but wanted her wrinkles removed for a prolonged period o...f time, with downtime not being a major issue. Enter the Sciton Erbium:YAG, and with Dr Ms skill in delicate areas such as this, he was able to resurface all the way up to the eyelid margin (without sizzling any lashes) and provide these results. No anti-wrinkle injections used at this point, but has will be then prescribed for her maintenance routine. Alongside this, she has also been having #infini radio frequency needling and PRP to sustain her dramatic improvements. 2 week recovery time after which makeup may be applied. Results may vary, but generally, with some light maintenance, these results can be maintained in her age group for 5-10 years. Another 10 Year Flashback ^TM ! #10yearflashback #brisbaneskin #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #northlakes #facelift #plasticsurgery #wrinkles #smokerslines #sundamage #resurfacing #erbiumyaglaser #co2laser #eyerejuevnation #crowsfeet #injectables #rfneedling #prp

24.01.2022 rejuvenation can be very challenging, and many women in particularly hate their stubborn wrinkles and smokers lines in the area. This is much more common in females than males, probably due to a lack of terminal hairs in the area and an innate and cultural tendency for pursing motions of the lips. Magnified then by true smoking in some individuals, this can dramatically age a person, and can be a difficult area to treat without the right combination approach. In this ...10 Year Flashback TM , our patient has deep wrinkles on top and bottom lips as well as elastosis from aging and sun exposure. In those with less severe changes, injectable fillers, light muscle relaxants and light fractional non-ablative devices such as Fraxel can produce nice improvements over time, and can be utilised as maintenance therapies also. However, in more severe changes, as those seen in these photos, these lighter treatments will be suboptimal. Dr M specialises in using the CO2 or Eribum:YAG ablative lasers for dramatic improvements in this area for these patients, usually just with one treatment. This is often combined with injectable fillers, fat grafting, and anti-wrinkle injections to provide improvements all the way from the skin, muscle, fat and bone. This patient has had full resurfacing with the Lumenis Ultrapulse CO2 laser, which allows Dr M to remove wrinkles completely and resculpt the lip line all the way to the edge. Recovery time is two weeks, after which makeup and usual skincare can be applied, and a maintenance plan prescribed - think injectables, and Infini rf needling here. #10yearflashback #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #plasticsurgery #dermatologist #facelift #smokerslines #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laseredbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #co2laser #lumenisultrapulse skin #newstead #northlakes #facelift #plasticsurgery #wrinkles #smokerslines #sundamage #resurfacing #erbiumyaglaser #co2laser #antiaging #filler #antiwrinkleinjections #lasersurgery #fraxel #infini #injectables #antiwrinkle

24.01.2022 Some Saturday acne scar treatment with Dr M, the #ScarEraser Acne scars often require a tailored approach to treatment, and here, Dr Manoharan combines manual subscision with deep and superficial settings on the Lumenis Ultrapulse CO2 laser to treat the individual features and characteristics of these scars. Combination techniques such as this will assist the tethering to release, scars breaking down, contours smoothening and collagen remodelling. ... Over 2-4 session this patient is expected to get an outstanding result. Anaesthetic varies from creams and nerve blocks, to light sedation based on the extent and area treated. downtime is one week, but results are long lasting and worth the investment in time #brisbaneskin #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #northlakes #acnescars #co2laser #subscision #acnescars #scartreatments #acnescartreatment #lasertreatmnts #ultrapulse

24.01.2022 The CO2 resurfacing journey Patients are always wondering what you look like 1 week after fully ablative laser resurfacing - Dr Ms trademark 10 Year Flashback! This patient was seen today and is literally only one week post-resurfacing.... As you can see there is some redness present over her whole face. She has started receiving aftercare with pulsed-dye laser today. Also, on certain areas such as the top lip, where the resurfacing was heaviest, there is the skin is continuing to heal, and will take up to 2 weeks to reform completely. Initially, patients will be cleansing their face up to 6 times/day and applying a Vaseline-type moisturiser hourly. At this stage today, our patient switches down to a lighter moisturiser, some growth factor serums and can cleanse just 2x/day. Sun protection is vital, and hydration is important. Granted, this lady is a little ahead of schedule in regards to her healing, but you get an insight and idea as to how this process evolves. Watch this space over the next few weeks for the final unveil!! #10YearFlashback #brisbaneskin #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #northlakes #facelift #plasticsurgery #wrinkles #smokerslines #sundamage #resurfacing #erbiumyaglaser #co2laser #antiaging #filler #antiwrinkleinjections #lasersurgery #fraxel #thermage #pulsedyelaser

23.01.2022 Many women suffer a variant of acne known as Adult Female Jawline Acne. This is a resistant form of acne, often presenting later than traditional teenage acne, can be hormonal, and may sometimes be associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. Treatment is important, be it with traditional prescription medications or light-based treatments (such as LED, photodynamic therapy or #kleresca).... Early treatment can avoid scarring, which in this subtype of acne can cause volume loss, downward drag and premature aging to the lower face, as seen in this case. Here, Dr Manoharan combines delicate subscision in this delicate area, with laser resurfacing with the Sciton Erbium:YAG laser to help release the tethering, destroy scar and form fresh, new skin. Note the procedure has taken years off the patient also, even though her main priority was removing her acne scars. This case was without fillers, but they are often a great add-on at the tail end of treatment to replace volume and give an even better outcome #ScarEraser #brisbaneskin #brisbaneskinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #northlakes #acnescars #co2laser #subscision #erbium:yag #scitonerbuimlaser #subscision #scartreatment #scarremoval #10YearFlashback #acnescarring #surgicalscars #acnetreatment #photodynamictherapy #LED #peels

22.01.2022 Happy International Women’s Day! From our Brisbane Skin family of strong, intelligent, caring and nurturing women, to all our wonderful female friends, patients, supporters and followers - happy #IWD2021. #IWD2021 #choosetochallenge #iwd #happyinternationalwomensday

22.01.2022 Todays 10 Year Flashback Lower face rejuvenation is an art. It often involves the use of injectables, energy based devices, thread lifts and surgery.... As we age, the face loses volume, all the way from the surface of the skin down to bone. By addressing each of these layers by the various techniques, we can achieve an outstanding end result. This lady was concerned about lines and wrinkles on her lower face and mouth, as well as general laxity that had crept up over the years. She had a number of lighter treatments such as needling, microdermabrasion and non-ablative lasers in the past, with little results. She was not keen on surgical options. In those with less severe changes, injectable fillers, light muscle relaxants and light fractional non-ablative devices such as Fraxel can produce nice improvements over time, and can be utilised as maintenance therapies also. However, in more severe changes, as those seen in these photos, these lighter treatments will be suboptimal, and even surgery may not be able to provide the surface improvements required with deep wrinkes (rhytides). Dr M specialises in using the CO2 or Erbium:YAG ablative lasers for dramatic improvements in this area for these patients, usually just with one session. This patient had a combination of deep wrinkles and laxity but just one session of CO2 resurfacing with the Lumenis Ultrapulse laser has produced the best results she has ever had. Recovery time is two weeks, after which makeup and usual skincare can be applied, and a maintenance plan prescribed Her next step would be Thermage, which will provide her with a noninvasive tightening of the lower face and jowels, with no downtime. #10yearflashback #brisbaneskin #threadlift #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #northlakes #facelift #plasticsurgery #wrinkles #smokerslines #sundamage #resurfacing #erbiumyaglaser #co2laser #eyerejuevnation #crowsfeet #injectables #accordianlines #thermage

20.01.2022 Acne Scar Treatment In Teens Acne is a problem that plagues many adolescents and teens. It is a very treatable condition, and seeking early treatment will often prevent scarring. Scarring is the major complication from acne, and when this happens to young individuals, it can put considerable emotional and psychological strain on a vulnerable age group.... It is important to realise that scar treatments can be done in any age, and we tailor our treatments and plans not only based on scar and skin types, but also age-group and downtime, factoring in school/holidays/lifestyle. This teenage girl had a combination of pulsed dye laser, subscision and fractional co2 laser with Dr Manoharan. Each treatment was made comfortable with anaesthetic cream and a couple of very gentle local injections. Recovery time was 5 days each time, and she did it on the first week over 2 school holidays. Downtime, can be modified by the choice of device and intensity of settings used, and comfort can be ensured by the right level of anaesthetic. Age is no barrier to scar treatments, and the only philosophy to adhere to is - The Earlier The Better. #ScarEraser #brisbaneskin #teenager #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #northlakes #acnescars #co2laser #subscision #subscision #scartreatment #scarremoval #10YearFlashback #acnescarring #surgicalscars #acnetreatment #ultrapulse #pulseddyelaser #scartreatment

19.01.2022 Friday 10 Year Flashback Lower face rejuvenation is an art. It often involves the use of injectables, energy based devices, thread lifts and surgery.... As we age, the face loses volume, all the way from the surface of the skin down to bone. By addressing each of these layers by the various techniques, we can achieve an outstanding end result.

She had a number of lighter treatments such as needling, microdermabrasion and non-ablative lasers in the past, with little results. In those with less severe changes, injectable fillers, light muscle relaxants and light fractional non-ablative devices such as Fraxel can produce nice improvements over time, and can be utilised as maintenance therapies also.

19.01.2022 Every scar has a story........ Scars can have not only a significant physical impact on sufferers, but also cause much emotional and psychological effects as well. Every scar has a story, and we are privileged to be part of the journey to repair these for our patients, and hopefully relieve emotional burdens for them too.... This young lady had a fall just a few months prior to her wedding, and was extremely distressed about how her forehead would look on the day. She found Dr Manoharan through his international reputation as a scar expert. Through a combination of subscision, V-beam Pulsed Dye Laser and both Fraxel and the Ultrapulse CO2 lasers, he managed to give her an excellent outcome, just in time for her big day. Downtime was minimal for each one of these treatment sessions, with the patient able to return to work with a dressing or makeup the next day.

19.01.2022 Another 10 Year Flashback As spring hits, we wind back to another 10 Year Flashback (tm) from last spring. Dr M often works collaboratively with plastic surgeons before or after surgical facelift to optimise facial skin tone, texture and erase wrinkles.... It is important to realise that for significant lower facial and neck laxity, the best treatment option would be surgical. However, surgery will often not efface deeper wrinkles and will do nothing for the pigment, vascularity, tone and texture of skin. In this patients case, Dr M treated her before her face/neck lift procedure, to address the significant wrinkles around her mouth and accordion lines. He used the Lumenis Ultrapulse CO2 laser at both fully ablative and fractional settings, based on the area and severity of changes being treated. Recovery time was two weeks. About a month after the laser resurfacing, she went ahead to have her face/neck lift surgery to address the jowels and neck laxity that you can still see her following laser. A little bit of rejuvenation education for your hump day!! #10YearFlashback #brisbaneskin #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #northlakes #facelift #plasticsurgery #wrinkles #smokerslines #sundamage #resurfacing #erbiumyaglaser #co2laser #antiaging #filler #antiwrinkleinjections #lasersurgery #fraxel #thermage `

16.01.2022 We all know the power of lasers to improve skin. Though with such a wide variety of laser treatments available, it can be difficult to choose which is the best choice of laser treatment for you. What is the Gold Standard laser treatment offered by Dr Shobhan Manoharan at Brisbane Skin. There are many factors to be considered when choosing a skin resurfacing laser treatment. Firstly, are you currently in good health? What outcome are you hoping for? What are your main concerns... about laser treatments? And, importantly, how much downtime can you afford to invest to achieve the result you want? ABLATIVE -V- NON-ABLATIVE LASER TREATMENTS Essentially lasers can be divided into two categories; ablative and non-ablative. Non-ablative laser treatments for skin are less invasive and require less downtime than ablative treatments. However, for dramatic, beautiful results, you may require more than one treatment of a non-ablative laser resurfacing, to have a comparable result of one ablative laser treatment.

14.01.2022 Womens Health Week is the perfect time to spend some time thinking about you! We have put together a list of ways that we can help you look after yourself, and want to remind you to put yourself first sometimes - you and the people around you will appreciate it more than you think! Did you know........ - You can avoid some skin cancers developing by having laser early? Treating any sun damaged skin (which to be honest is all of us in Queensland!) early, can remove early stage sun spots and damage, preventing future carcinomas from arriving! We can use our Fraxel laser at medical grade settings to remove damaged skin, which is heavier than the lighter rejuvenation Fraxel treatments we do. - Many people suffer from Rosacea and think they have acne. Rosacea can present as redness of the skin with anything from a few pimples through to a full rash. Often people presenting with acne as their main concern actually have rosacea which doesnt respond to acne treatments, but can be treated with a combination of topical or oral medication, L.E.D. therapy, medical peels (they need to be gentle!!) and pulsed dye laser. - Melasma is often experienced by women post pregnancy. Many people think its just pigmentation from sun exposure but its actually caused by the hormones in our body. We see many people who have been treated in a non-medical setting using chemical peels to lift the pigment, however melasma patients need to be treated inside and out to avoid creating more damage - come and talk to us about a plan for you! - Acne affects most of through much of our lives...we can tailor solutions to manage this for you, with combinations of L.E.D. therapy, medical grade peels and skin care, Kleresca and/or prescription medications or gels. - Pampering is important for our mental health. You deserve some pampering!! We have everything from light everyday peels and skin care, through to a dozen of the best lasers around to tailor a plan for you! We often put other people or tasks before ourselves, but must not forget that we need to look after ourselves too! Love yourself and message us today for a free nurse or therapist consult.

12.01.2022 Brisbane Skin Stretchmark Programme Stretch marks, or striae, are a common problem and tends to be seen more in younger individuals. They are similar to scars and are due to tears in the collagen and elastin of the skin when it is unable to keep up with rapid growth. ...

12.01.2022 The eyes constantly come up in patient surveys as the area that many people find ages them the most (or the first). Eye rejuvenation is a delicate art, and involves the use of skin care, injectables, lasers and other energy based devices, or surgery to provide the required results based on the patients age and skin type, severity of changes, downtime and expectations. Dr M resurfaced her upper and lower lids with the Lumenis ultrapulse CO2 laser to tighten the skin, and... dramatically improve the wrinkling. Downtime of about two weeks and she is currently having some redness and pigment addressed with vascular and pigment laser. well worth results like these ! #10yearflashback #brisbaneskin #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #northlakes #facelift #plasticsurgery #wrinkles #sundamage #resurfacing #erbiumyaglaser #co2laser #eyerejuevnation #crowsfeet #injectables

12.01.2022 More scar stories......... Scars can have not only a significant physical impact on sufferers, but also cause much emotional and psychological effects as well. Every scar has a story, and we are privileged to be part of the journey to repair these for our patients, and hopefully relieve emotional burdens for them too.... Dr Manoharan and Dr Sawhney work together and specialise in combination treatments for traumatic and post surgical scars, and their respective expertise in laser and plastic surgery allows for them to provide some absolutely amazing results such as in this case. This lady had a fall which resulted in a severe laceration that was initially closed by a physician leading to a suboptimal scar. She then consulted with Dr Sawhney, who performed a surgical revision of the scar. Dr Sawhney then involved Dr M to optimise the appearance of the revised scar. This was done over 3 sessions of pulsed-dye laser, subscision and fractional co2 and Fraxel lasers. The results are spectacular, and has left the patient delighted enough to reveal her face and scars on-line. Downtime was minimal for each one of these treatment sessions, with the patient able to return to work with a dressing or makeup the next day. Combination scar treatments with a world-class duo like Dr Manoharan and Dr Sawhney bringing together laser and energy based devices with plastic surgery is offered at Brisbane Skin.

09.01.2022 Amazing transformation from Dr Manoharan today! #repost Posted @withregram @drshobhanmanoharan Rhinophyma is a condition presenting as thickening of the skin of the nose, and is a variant of the common condition rosacea. It can present of prominent follicular openings, skin thickening, overactive sebaceous (oil) glands and an abnormal nasal contour. There also may be a prominence of redness and broken capillaries.... Medical treatment, particularly isotretinoin (vitamin A) is useful for milder cases or to maintain improvements postprocedurally. The gold standard treatment for advanced rhinophyma is Ablative Laser - in these images you can see how I have utilised both the Erbium:YAG and CO2 ablative lasers to resculpt this nose and give the patient a whole new confident outlook. Performed under light sedation, this procedure has a healtime of about 2 weeks, but results in long lasting results, maintained medically from that point. You may have seen this patient before, but it was nice to review him yesterday again and these are updated images. He is currently on isotretinoin treatment to maintain the improvements following the laser sculpting, and continues to have great results in maintaining the size of his nose, minimising oil and controlling pores in an area that he has had trouble all his life. #laseredbydrM #rhinophyma #rosacea #dermatologistbrisbane #laserspecialist #co2laser #erbiumlaser #laserresurfacing #10YearFlashback #brisbaneskin #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #skin #facelift #plasticsurgery #wrinkles #resurfacing #antiaging #lasersurgery

08.01.2022 How much do we love our Fraxel and Thermage! Dr M @drshobhanmanoharan has put together a combination of treatment protocols combining the Fraxel and Thermage, and presented this at @cosmedicon last weekend. Fraxel is a non-ablative laser, with low downtime, addressing pigment, pores, fine lines and wrinkles, sunspots and scarring.... Thermage is the gold standard in radiofrequency tightening of skin, heating deeper layers on the face, eyes, neck and even the body to provide lift and tightening with no downtime. For those looking for results driven, low downtime procedures, this two devices are an ideal combo, and can be tailored to suit your needs. Treatments can be performed separately, or together in the same consecutive sitting. This mornings patient was concerned about pigmentation, acne scarring and some early lower face laxity. After a consult with Dr M, she was prescribed a plan combining Fraxel and Thermage, alongside topical and oral medications. Our wonderful clinical team then performed the procedures sequentially to provide some lovely results. Come on by and meet our clinical team for a complimentary consult today, to see how you to can get a nice Autumn refresh. All invasive procedures carry risk. Please obtain a second opinion from a suitably qualified medical practitioner before proceeding. Results may vary. #melasma #pigment #pigmentclinic #pigmentspecialist #laseredbydrM #dermatologist #skincare #skinspecialist #sunprotection #fraxel #thermage #acnescarring #facelift #plasticsurgery #scarring #pigmentation #sundamge

07.01.2022 Birthmark treatments ! There can be a number of different types of birthmarks, including vascular and pigmented stains. Generally these can be lightened to various degrees, utilising the right lasers or surgery, by an experienced operator, to give excellent cosmetic results. ... This patient has one known as a Cafe-au-lait macule, a light brown stain on her chin. Dr M utilised the #pastelle Q-switched Nd:YAG laser to fade it over 3 treatments. 2 minute procedure, no anaesthetic or needles required No downtime, makeup may be worn immediately after Usually 3-6 sessions required (some Cafe-au-laits may be more stubborn or recurrent and may require maintenance treatment) #laseredbydrm #laserbrisbane #qswitchedlaser #picosecondlaser #vascularlaser #birthmarks #portwinestain #naevus #naevusofota #cafeaulaitmacule #ndyaglaser #dermatologist #laserguru #plasticsurgery #lasertreatment

07.01.2022 Treating brown spots can be tricky. They may be age spots (seborrhoiec keratoses), sun spots (pigmented solar keratoses), freckles (ephilides) or more sinister lesions. The more sinister lesions may even be melanoma.... In skin of colour in particular, removal of these by laser require experience, the right settings and often some preparation medically beforehand. When the wrong laser, wrong settings, wrong skin type or wrong practitioner occur, you can be left with the first image here, which is a lady of Indian heritage, who went into another non-specialist clinic for removal of some very small brown spots on her cheeks. They used the wrong laser for her skin type, and left her with burns and pigment much worse than what she started with. Dr M does perform a lot of fixes for laser complications on patients throughout the country, and when this lady saw him, he initially started her on some prescription fading creams and sunscreen to start the fading process. He followed this up with the Pastelle Nd:YAG Q-switched laser and PicoSure alexandrite picosecond laser to gently breakdown pigment particles over a 3 month period. Before trusting your pigment to a non-specialist to just be lasered off, ensure you have a skin check to confirm that none of these are malignant lesions. Check on the experience of your laser practitioner - how many of these have they treated, have they treated complicated/darker skin-types, what are their qualifications? Buyer beware - please find a true laser specialist for your concerns. #laseredbydrm #laserbrisbane #qswitchedlaser #picosecondlaser #birthmarks #portwinestain #naevus #laserspecialist #specialistdifference #dermatologist #laserguru #skincare #rejuvenation #antiaging #laserbrisbane #laserclinic #skincancer #freckles #sunspots #sundamage #melanoma #picosure #pastelle #ndyaglaser

05.01.2022 Rhinophyma is a condition presenting as thickening of the skin of the nose, and is a variant of the common condition rosacea. Severity can vary a range from bothersome textural and size change such as this case, all the way to significant disfigurement. It can present of prominent follicular openings, skin thickening, overactive sebaceous (oil) glands and an abnormal nasal contour. There also may be a prominence of redness and broken capillaries.... This particular patient was concerned about increased size of his nose over years, pores and texture. He was also concerned about sunspots and early skin cancers on his nose as well as improvement of scarring from previous skin cancer surgery. Medical treatment, particularly isotretinoin (vitamin A) is useful for milder cases or to maintain improvements postprocedurally. The gold standard treatment for advanced rhinophyma is Ablative Laser - in these images you can see how Dr Manoharan has utilised both the Erbium:YAG and CO2 ablative lasers to resculpt this nose and give the patient a whole new confident outlook. The resurfacing has also blended out much of his previous scarring and removed the sunspots and early skin cancers on his nose. This is not just a COSMETIC procedure, it is a MEDICAL issue. Performed under light sedation, this procedure has a healtime of about 2 weeks, but results in long lasting results, maintained medically from that point. With a referral, there is Medicare rebates for Australians. #laseredbydrM #rhinophyma #rosacea #dermatologistbrisbane #laserspecialist #co2laser #erbiumlaser #laserresurfacing #sunspots #skincancer #erbiumyag #vitamina #scareraser

04.01.2022 Yesterday we caught up with a patient who has undergone Dr M’s signature 10 Year Flashback (tm). This is a lady who was not keen on surgical facelift, but wanted significant improvements in regards to her lines/wrinkles, particularly around the lower face, mouth and cheeks. Dr Manoharan utilised Lumenis Ultrapulse for this case, on fully ablative settings, to give maximal improvements for tone and texture of skin, and to completely wipe away some of the most stubborn lin...es she was concerned about. Recovery time is 2 weeks, and patients are generally back at work, exercise and using makeup at that stage. She then had Thermage, which provided further deep lift to her lower face, a procedure with no downtime at all that provides ongoing improvement for 6-12mths. She was here to touch base about her maintenance with her customised Brisbane Skin Gym plan, tailored around chemical peels, Fraxel laser, Thermage, BBL and injectables. Have a great day! #10YearFlashback #brisbaneskin #brisbaneskinclinic #skinclinic #brisbanedermatologist #dermatologist #dermatology #drshobhanmanoharan #DrM #laserbydrm #laserclinic #australianskin #laseredbydrm #skin #newstead #facelift #plasticsurgery #wrinkles #smokerslines #sundamage #resurfacing #erbiumyaglaser #co2laser #antiaging #filler #antiwrinkleinjections #lasersurgery #fraxel #thermage #BBL #fraxel

02.01.2022 Even thought the term laser gets bandied around quite frequently, with many practitioners, clinics, salons and even tattoo parlours offering various forms of treatment, one thing remains crucial to remember: Lasers must be respected The wrong device, wrong settings, in the wrong hands or for the wrong skin type will lead to complications.... Dr M is referred patients from all over the country to perform Fixes for laser complications. This lady of Indian heritage was treated for freckles on her face with the wrong laser. Skin of colour in particular, is challenging to treat with laser and requires appropriate pretreatment and aftercare, the correct device and exacting settings. She ended up with blisters which left significant post inflammatory pigment behind. Over about 4 months, Dr M combined topical and oral fading agents, chemical peels and gentle (geeeeeennnnntle!) treatment with the Nd:yag q-switched laser and the PicoSure Alexandrite laser to finally get her to an acceptable outcome. When looking for a laser treatment, check the qualifications and experience of your practitioner, ask about the laser being used and ensure you are comfortable with their level of safety and expertise. #laseredbydrm #ScarEraser #laser #lasersafety #picosure #ndyag #chemicalpeels #skincare #skinofcolour #skintype5 #laserguru #burntreatment #scartreatment #freckles #ipl #bbl

01.01.2022 Rosacea is a common condition that can manifest in various forms, particularly in fairer skin tones. It is due to an overactivity and hypersensitivity of the vasculature of the skin, leading to a number of bothersome symptoms. Most patients will have sensitive skin, requiring the right skincare range and judicious use of active agents and prescription medications..... Some patients manifest with a tendency for flushing, or fixed redness of the face, neck and chest. Others will notice larger capillaries and blood vessels in these areas also. This can be successfully treated with a combination of medications and lasers and IPL devices. Others will get pimples intermittently. This may require oral or topical medications. In the worst cases, there can be thickening of skin, particularly of the nose, called rhinophyma. You would have seen examples of these in previous posts, requiring laser sculpting. This patient was treated with a combination of prescription creams and pulsed-dye laser with Dr M to get great results in regards to her facial redness and flushing. Maintenance is important, and patients are generally put onto a maintenance plan of skin care, topical prescriptions and peels/laser treatments. Dr M is also combining pulsed-dye laser with neuromodulator (anti-wrinkle) injections for particularly stubborn cases of rosacea, which is a formidable combination for difficult cases. #laseredbydrM #rhinophyma #rosacea #dermatologistbrisbane #laserspecialist #pulsedyelaser #vbeam #antiwrinkle #skincare #sensitiveskin #skinceuticals #acne #pimples #ipl #bbl
