I'm interested in getting Botox and fillers to shape my face into a V-line and maybe enhance my nose too. I don't want surgical options, just non-invasive treatments. Can this actually work? Also, I'd like to see before-and-after results from real patients who've had this done to get an idea of what's possible. How safe and effective is this for achieving the look I want?

It is always good to consult a plastic surgeon for reshaping nose filler and Botox have no good result

I'm 21 and dealing with oily skin and a dark brown complexion. I've got pimples, blackhead scars, and these big pores from acne. Right now, I'm using Contimycin, Clinagel, and Garnier Men oil clear face wash. I'm really hoping to get whiter skin and finally get rid of this acne. Do you have any suggestions or advice on what I should try next?

To address your acne concerns and skin tone, consider adding the following to your routine: a salicylic acid-based cleanser, a benzoyl peroxide-based spot treatment, a niacinamide serum for skin brightening, and a sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher, while consulting a dermatologist for personalized advice and adjusting your current products as needed.

I was recently told I have telogen effluvium and even though my hair fall has calmed down, I'm using this serum with procapil, baicapil, and anagain thats really making my seborrheic dermatitis flare up badly. It's making my scalp super inflamed wherever I put it on. I'm really thinking about quitting the serum, but I'm scared if I stop it, I'll start shedding again. Do you think it's okay to stop using it, or could that just make things worse?

Do not stop it abruptly,this needs wheaning visit Dermaologist for the same and alternative treatment plan
