Fraxel Laser for Sagging Chin?

I have some saggy skin under my chin, no fat and would like to tighten it. My dermatologist recommended Fraxel. Which therapy is best? If I have just a slight sagging, how many treatments would it take to tighten it?

A: Sagging chin

This depends on two things. How much sagging, and what type of Fraxel. Very mild sagging will improve with Fraxel repair in one treatment. Significant improvement with Fraxel restore would be unlikely. Anything more than very mild sagging would require surgical therapy to provide significant results. The surgical therapy for this problem is minimally invasive and would probably not require much more down time than the Fraxel repair.

White Patches After Fraxel Laser

I had one session of Fraxel a few weeks ago and had white patches all over my face afterwards. What are these white patches? Also Dr. refused to do in between eyebrows and when I asked him why he said just didn’t.

A: Fraxel laser

Don't worry about the white patches after Fraxel. This is only a temporary area of hypopigmentation. It will resolve. Even in cases where there is significant hypopigmentation it is only inflammatory and not true dyspigmentation (complete loss of pigment) I can't answer why the MD wouldn't treat in between the eyes.
