Fraxel re:pair and Thermage After 2 Facelifts in 78 Year Old Patient?
Hi Blurry,
Many patients in their 70's have had previous facial surgery and are excellent candidates for Fraxel re:pair. The treatment is performed under local and topical anesthesia in the office so that older patient's do not have to undergo the expense and risk of general anesthesia.
