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.

If you still have adult acne, then prior to fraxel I recommend getting the smoothbeam laser treatment first, which shrinks the sebaceous glands that cause acne. I would also get on prescription... more
	“Half Way Through, Am Still Waiting...” I went to the dermatologist for juvederm which I love and complained about the skin around my chin. The nurse told me it was "creping" and the fraxel laser would get rid of that, so after some research, I decided to go for it. It is painful but they put the numbing cream on one hour prior to the procedure plus give me a vicodin. Afterwards my face is swollen for about five days and red... more
	“Impressive Results, Pretty Darn Painful” I am only 36, so I didn't have an issue with wrinkles so much as with hyperpigmantation, sundamage and acne. All of these issues were improved with just the first treatment. After the fourth one, my skin was not even my own. The sun damage was completely gone, my pores were smaller, my skin was so soft and my breakouts were just the occasional pre-menstral related kind. I had a deep... more
