Hi Anon, We have treated patients in their 60's and 70's with Accent XL with nice results. Skin tightening treatments in general are more effective the younger you are as the skin and soft tissues respond better, there is more underlying collagen and elasticity in the skin. It is also important to eat... more
Is Affirm or Accent skin tightening more effective for a 70-year-old woman?

Dear Dr. Michael Persky, PROBLEM: One deep line under each eye. I had fat repositioning and muscle trim under my eyes. This made this problem more pronounced. I had 3 treatments of the Rhytec PSR but that did not help at all and in fact made it worse because it gave me fine feathery lines under my eyes. I have consulted with the best cosmetic surgeons and dermatologists but to date, I still have not heard a suggestion that I consider to be the best option for my problem. I am quite impressed with the before and after pictures for the Fraxel re:pair but it seems too drastic for me at this time although I definitely plan on doing it in a couple of years. Dr. Gene Rubenstein of Studio City, CA suggested Aluma and Fraxel re:store. I had one treatment of Fraxel re:store and was not impressed with the result at all. There was actually no result or difference at all (In fairness, I know multiple treatments is required to achieve the desired result). Here is my plan and please let me know what you think. I will set up an appointment with your office in Encino, CA (I live in Encino, CA) to have a series of ACCENT XL done. After every treatment of ACCENT XL, I will have the safest highest concentration of TCA applied under my eyes. Dr. Persky, please let me know what you think of my plan or if you have a better suggestion. Thank you so much and I am looking forward to meeting with you real soon.
