How can I have fine lines in my skin at 27 round mouth area, and can active fx help?
There are many reasons to have fine lines around the mouth. Some are sun damage, smoking, drinking from straws or bottles. I have seen very young patients with premature aging that start with fine lines around the mouth and lower eyelids.
ActiveFX is designed for improvement of these fine lines and wrinkles around the mouth and eyes. Go to your local board certified Facial Plastic Surgeon and look at the alternatives. Good luck.
I'm 51, and I had Active FX in December 2008 on my face and neck. I was looking for results on neck and lower face mostly, but I had very little reaction, and essentially no results. My doctor showed me a before photo of my face, only difference is under my eyes, and that is likely because the before photo was taken without any moisturizer.
I was going to have Titan, but this doctor in Bucks Count PA is very big on Active FX. Did I make a mistake? Is Titan better for tightening? (This doctor had both machines.) Or, does my lack of results indicate that laser is not for me. I have been using the Obagi system for years; does that matter?
May be you are trying to get a "lift" out of a resurfacing procedure. There is no resurfacing procedure that will replace a properly done lift. The resurfacing will only improve the skin quality and texture. If you upload some pictures we will be able to see if what you want is a lift or a textural improvement.
I had Activefx yesterday and have brown dots all over my face today. Is this normal? Thanks
The brown dots can be one of two things.
1. You are not applying adequate amounts of Vaseline and the skin is too dry. Apply more.
2. It can be sun damage. Severe sun damage skin will have a deep brown coloration on the area that had the laser procedure. Still apply the Vaseline.
