Will Fraxel Tighten my Skin on the Front of my Neck?

I paid one thousand eight hundred pounds last year, for four sessions of Titan laser treatment. on the font of my neck last year, and there was no improvement to my neck at all. I am 64years old, my face is very good, but the front of my neck from my chin to the bottom of my neck, is now very crapey. fraxel, has now been recommended, but I am unshure of having it done, in case it doesnt work, and I lose even more money. What would you suggest please. Thanking you in anticipation. Vivien.

Fraxel would be great

I think that one treatment with the Fraxel re:pair laser is the right thing for you.

The Fraxel re:pair combines the fractionated technology with a CO2 laser.

If the muscle bands are loose and pulling the skin down, no resurfacing or tightening device will be enough. It is academically fascinating for physicians to see that without surgery a small improvement in tightening can occur from Thermage, Portrait, Fraxel or Titan treatment, but... more
