Deep FX with Face and Neck Lift If planning a neck and face lift is it a good idea to also have deep FX done while under the anesthetic? (I ask b/c some plastic surgeons do not do deep FX). I know of someone in another state who had the 3 procedures done and results were amazing! Would it make sense to leave the state for it?

A: Deep FX

Hello ~

Deep FX does produce amazing results and is a complement to the Active FX setting. We commonly perform these in conjuction with face/necklift candidates. The laser is performed either before or after the surgery, as lasering the face in conjuction with a facelift can potentially compromise the blood supply and lead to soft-tissue loss.

Regarding your question, you should be able to find a qualified Board Certified Plastic Surgeon that performs both Active and Deep FX lasers in Michigan. Or perhaps you may consider finding a dermatologist who utilizes this technology.

Kindest Regards ~

Can Active & Deep Fx Laser for Lines on Upper LipCause Herpes? I was surprized to hear this info, Dr said it can cause an out break on lips. I never heard of this and never had a cold sore in my 51yrs.

A: Can laser resurfacing cause herpes blisters ?

Thanks for the question.

It is estimated that over 90 % of the population carries the Herpes Simplex 1 virus, although it lies dormant in a significant proportion of people. The virus may become activated through stressors such as a depressed immune system, and notably to the face, trauma in the form of peels, lasers, dermabrasion, etc. may activate the virus. Thus, prior to commencing with one of the aforementioned procedures, it is recommended that the patient be placed on an anti-viral during the peri-procedural period to minimize the risk of viral activation.

Best of luck,
