Tacoma Fraxel Laser doctors

Your skin is extremely vulnerable to sun damage, especially after Fraxel or any skin resurfacing treatment.  It is imperative that you use sunscreen every day (reaplying often) and wear a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses to help lower the risk of hyper pigmentation.

All these can be done together assuming your surgeon has a Fraxel. The midface lift is done deep, so it will not interfere with the skin treatment. My personal approach to a midface lift is intraoral, subperiosteal and the suspension is secured to the temporalis muscle fascia via a small incision in the hair bearing scalp. If this is the approach your surgeon is using than it is safe to do both procedures. Good luck.

It is perfectly acceptable to perform either the facelift or the Fraxel first; it does not really matter. The Fraxel is performed for smoothing out the skin color and tone and getting rid of age spots. The facelift is done to tighten up the deep structures such as tightening of the neck muscles, eliminating jowls, removing fat in the neck both above and below the platysma, and tightening the gristle layer underneath the facial structure called the SMAS. Thermage will do none of the above.
