I live in Texas and a doctor near me is offering an Energy lift that seems to help with a mini-lift. He says the fractional lazer is used to shrink connective tissue. Is this procedure worth it? long lasting? safe?
The fractional laser is not FDA-approved for shrinking connective tissue. There are no long-term studies. No one knows how long it is going to last or how safe it is. Any fractional lasering done on the underneath side of the skin will necrose fat, which will be problematic over time.
From your pictures, you might get a very nice result from a liquid facelift using injectable fillers in the cheeks, folds, and jawline to really rejuvenate your look. This would spare you the scars from a mini lift and the recovery from the skin burn from a laser. It's always hard to tell without examining you but this would at least be another approach.
