Best Resurfacing Procedure for a healthy 40 year old.
My recommended treatment plan would depend upon a examination but I will do my best to respond. First I would not recommend a laser resurgacing procedure at you age. The reasons are: 1. SLOW RECOVERY 2. A difficult post-laser treatment plan.. I would therefore recommend a plan that is less aggressive and will give you about a 25% to 40% improvement:
Profractional Laser Twice per year
Microlaser Peel once per year
Peleve' treatment: 3 times per year....

This will tighten up the whole face. Just be prepared to do the procedure 2-3 times over 18 months to fully realize the potential.

Best Skin Resurfacing Procedure in 2012 for 40 year old male
Dear Patient,
The best skin resurfacing procedure for you depends on your life-style and how fast you want to see the results. Resurfacing procedures help to refresh the skin: smooth out rough texture, even skin tone, iron out fine wrinkles, and tighten the skin. Resurfacing lasers come in two varieties: 1) ablative and 2) non-ablative. Ablative lasers (e.g., fractional CO2) are more aggressive, have longer recovery time (7-10 days), deliver faster results with few treatments (1-3)....

Skin improvement and jaw line improvement - options for a male patient
For skin correction I have standard advice for my patients- start initially at with good skin care regimen. For men in my office we start with Rodan & Fields in the AntiAge label regimen.

Standard advice there is the deeper the peel, the longer the recovery but the better the result. Also for skin appearance in terms of brown...
