I have a crease under my eyes and laugh lines that go to my jaw line, as well as sagging cheeks. Need something that doesn't need redoing every 3-6 months. Read that laser deals only with acne scars. Looking at bef & after of lase and don't see it helping me. I hear that something like Ulthera deals with the lower layers of the skin and so could give me what I want, plus, since it stimulate collagen and elasticity, it can last up to 2 years or more. What are my options? Thanks you.
