Facial Rejuvenation Options for Late 20s Woman?

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

IPL is a second best technology... more

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. While we might get the best results from our fractional CO2 laser there is more down time associated with it.
