I had chemo and the toxins were so strong that they aged me several years overnight. My facial skin is loose and looks puffy/saggy maybe and my eyes are rounded like an old persons instead of long and almond...devastated, just trying to get my face back
Answer: Morpheus8 can help tighten the skin and can promote growth of collagen Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: Microneedling PRP Can Tighten Saggy Skin Micro Needling with PRP is a safe and very effective skin–resurfacing tool that creates micro channels in the skin to stimulate new collagen and elastin production. In addition, the treatment can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, treat acne scars and smooth out textural issues such as sunspots, stretch marks and hyper–pigmentation. Unlike lasers, the Micro Needling with PRP is safe for all skin types, including darker tones. Micro-needling with PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) The PRP is derived from the serum portion of the blood, which contains platelets. The platelets contain high levels of growth factors, which, when applied to the skin, will stimulate cell turnover." The benefits of Micro-Needling with PRP can include a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. Micro Needling with PRP may also has a positive effect on the appearance of hyper-pigmentation, hypo-pigmentation, acne scars, traumatic scars and stretch marks and generally creates a fresher appearance or glow to the skin. Micro needling can be used on all parts of the body, including the: face, eye area, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen and back.

Answer: Lost collagen solutions Hi Julie, thanks for your question! I am so sorry to hear about your experience with chemo. Fortunately, microneedling is a great way to help regenerate lost collagen! At my practice, we use the Jeisys INTRAcel RF Microneedling device. With multiple treatments spaced about a month a part, our patients have seen incredible results in terms of plumpness, volume and overall vitality. With this type of collagen generation, it’s not an immediate result, and you may not start to see the results from the first treatment until the second, but the compound effect over time yields great results. I’d highly recommend scheduling an in-person consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to see if this method might be a good fit for you.

Answer: Microneedling and filler Sorry to hear about your situation. Microneedling is a great treatment for stimulating collagen production and addressing uneven skin texture and enlarged pores. Facial volume loss, however, is best treated using fillers like Sculptra Aesthetic. It's hard to give you specific recommendations without seeing a photo or evaluating you in person. I recommend you schedule an in person consultation with a local aesthetic physician to come up with an appropriate treatment plan for your concerns.
