Arnold W. Klein, M.D. answers: What's the best treatment for deep wrinkles?

Is the plastic surgery the only option for deep wrinkles or can I use fillers and Botox? What are my options?

The latest technology in cosmetic laser resurfacing and deep wrinkle treatment are lasers called Active FX for the facial surface areas and Deep FX for deep lines and wrinkles. It reduces wrinkles, particularly around the eyes and mouth, it tightens and firms up the skin, including the neck, and it eliminates dark or discolored areas.

This is a fractionated laser, much superior to Fraxel. I have not heard of a patient who has had Fraxel who didn't think this was much, much better.

There is about 3-4 days of downtime, and typically afterwards you look like you have been in the sun too long. By the 4th day, the skin has peeled off and you are left with a beautiful result! There is no bruising and no scabbing. When done along with Botox and injectable fillers, this gives you an amazing, amazing result!
