Will Retin A or some other retinoid tighten my loose skin? (Photo)

December 7, 2014
Asked By:bigchin12 in New York, NY

I started doing facial massages a few months ago, around April, and stopped doing them around June. I'm afraid I've ruined my face; its all saggy and my cheeks look hollow from where the fat has dissappeared. I'm only 18, so what can I do to fix this? I'm not interested in fillers. Maybe some kind of skin tightening treatment and/or a retinoid? Sorry if the pictures aren't great.
