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 best way to think of this is, if your skin surface has aged (pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles) AND you have sagging jawline and neck- then the combination of a facelift and a skin resurfacing will potentially give you a synergistic and complementary result. I offer this for patients who are good candidate and have had very nice results. It is important to note that neither procedure replaces the other. They work together.
Fractional lasers are minimally ablative lasers ( that means they destroy or remove only a fraction of tissue as compared with more aggresive lasers), and are used in multiple sessions to help with the texture of skin. I have been using the fractional lasers for several years and the results are good for superficial skin.
It does not equal a minilift, but can be used with a minilift to improve the skin.
