Tags: fine line, skin, sun damage

Hey docs,

I wanted to know what I should do for a whole facial rejuvenation (including under eyes). i am 28, however i have some lines around my eyes forehead and little loose skin happening...

Some doc told me fraxel, thermage and other treatments are not worthy - only co2 lasers are. is this true? I want something to tighten the skin and work on fine lines, little spots, but also help pigmentation.

can you recommend anything? Maybe chemical peels and then ipl to help the pigmentation? does this sound good? help please... jade

Laser choices

A patient is always best evaluated in person or at least with photos. That being said there is no doubt that there is a direct correlation between the power of the laser and the resultant changes in the skin.

The erbium fractional laser (fraxel) has minimal downtime but the results are not as good. What I recommend is that you determine how much downtime you are willing to accept... more
