I Am Have a Light Olive Complexion And Want my Neck and Jowls Tightened. Which Laser is Better?

I Am Have a Light Olive Complexion And Want my Neck and Jowls Tightened.  Which Laser is Better? Also want to reduce redness. Should I use the fraxel repair or the pearl lasers

A: Laser Skin Tightening

In our office we achieve good results on the face and neck with the Candela GentleYag.  While patients see a mild improvement with one treatment, optimal results are achieved with a series of 4-6 treatments spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.  There is minimal discomfort and no downtime.  As previously mentioned, there are several lasers with similar or different technologies on the market that can tighten the neck and jowls.  Some are good, some are just mediocre, and some are worthless. The key for you is to consult with a board-certified dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon for evaluation and discussion of what treatment will work best for you.  Click on the link below for a video demonstration of skin tightening with the Candela GentleYag.

63 and Look Great but Severe Lip and Chin Wrinkles. Non-surgical options other than injections?

i am 63 and look great except the severe wrinkling around my mouth and chin make me very self conscious. is there a safe non invasive way to treat this problem. i can't stand looking in the mirror when the sun is on my face. help

A: Non-Surgical Options for Lip and Chin Wrinkles

You are right - you look great for your age. So if you didn't do anything, you would be none the less for it.  However, since you are bothered by the wrinkling around your mouth and chin, it is reasonable for you to want to explore options to improve those areas. The first and most important thing I can recommend is strict sun protection.  In terms of non-surgical treatment options other than filler injections, I would recommend chemical peeling, laser resurfacing or electrodessication as possible treatment options either individually or in combination depending on the clinical evaluation. Click on the link provided to see before and after photos of a woman who initially had silicone to the creases to lift them out, and then later resurfacing with a laser (Erbium) and with electrodessication to bring down the residual ridges and smooth out the skin.
