Fraxel Laser to Tighten Small Patch of Ab Skin?
asked 2 years ago by IronSiren in Orlando
Latest answer by Michael A. Persky, MD
Question viewed 344 times
Tags: abs, skin
Hi! I am very fortunate with slow aging in the face and neck area, but need some skin on my body tightened. I was overweight growing up and my skin was stretched early on.
I am lean and fit now at 41, but have some wrinkling ab skin. Would Fraxel Laser help with a small patch of skin in the middle of my abs. This seems to be thin and stretched skin. Thanks!

Abdomenal Skin Excess, What is Best Treatment?
Hi Iron Siren,
For what ails you I would advise radiofrequency energy treatments instead of Fraxel. Fraxel re:pair does shrink skin on the face, but the energy levels needed to shrink skin on the abdomenal skin with CO2 laser would create burns and scarring.
Accent XL is a good treatment to tighten excess skin. Recently, Steven Weiner, MD in Florida has shown some before and after treatments with Thermage that looked impressive.
Be well.
Dr. P
