Pelleve, Clearlift, IPL, Laser360: Which one is right for me?

Question

They all purport to provide similar assistance in the elimination of fine lines, lessening the appearance of deep lines, smoothing the skin - or tightening in general, and bringing back some dewy pop to the surface of the skin. What gives? Which one is right for some overall tightening, crows feet, forehead lines, and bringing back that ivory girl color I had as a kid? And can they be used on the neck? Also, if you would like to list in order of effectiveness, that is acceptable as well. :) Thank you.

It is very difficult to offer any clinical advice without the benefit of seeing you first, but there are a plethora of treatments that may be appropriate for you ranging from the latest cosmeceutical skin products to advanced lasers and skin tightening treatments using either radio-frequency and/or ultrasound.  A VISIA skin analysis and VECTRA 3D analysis would also help to determine your skin health and contouring so please seek the advice of an experienced aesthetic practitioner locally to you who can discuss the best programme of treatments to achieve the look you desire.

Thanks for your question, but there isn't one answer that works for everyone.  I would suggest researching the medical offices in your area that offer these types of procedures.  Find an office that offers several treatment options and schedule a consultation.  Every physician will have different reasons why they selected the devices that the offer.  Look for an office with good reviews of both the office and the treatments they offer.  You should be able to find the treatment that is right for you and your concerns.  Best of luck.

Agree with Dr Riehm, not one treatment for everyone. Finding a method to give you results will also depend on so many factors, including your ability to stimulate collagen, overall health, but also your downtime and expectations plus your current state .Fully ablative lasers for severe wrinkle, Pelleve and gentle RF devices best for mild to moderate laxity with minimal solar elastosis. All the best, Dr Davin S. Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
