Will Total FX Help with "Jowls"?

I have been told I don't have enough loose skin for a face lift, but Total FX will help "rid" me of my little jowls. I have fair skin and am a sissy when it comes to pain. I am not a sun-worshipper but have little lines around mouth and creepiness around eyes. I just want to look rested and younger! I appreciate all the info I can get!

Total FX is not for neck and face tightening

I love our Lumenis ActiveFX/DeepFX machine. It really helps with wrinkles and improving skin texture and color. We see impressive tightening around the eyes but not much in the lower face and neck. The skin there is just too thick. You need to look at other options like fillers or a face-lift.... Hope this helps.

Also consider a chemical peel (TCA/Jessner's - medium depth peel) to improve your overall skin tone, complexion and fine wrinkles. A well... more
