Asked By:KAM7 in Boston, MA

25 days po after full face/neck. My face looks vgood & healed nice. My neck looks worse than it did before the laser. Its crinkley when I move especially. I was told it was dry & takes time for collagen to regrow.At this point I don't know. I look so much older when you look at my neck. I'm 43. My face looks 38 but neck 50-s? Do I now need a neck lift? I wasn't expecting miracles but I figured it would at least improve & have some tightening effect. I have used hydrating creams,vitamins etc HELP
