Answer: A combination of a resurfacing laser and and a Melapeel can help treat crepey skin. Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Skin Tightening -- VASER Hi-Definition Liposuction, ThermiRF, Renuvion, Thermage, Ultherapy, Novathreads / Instalift, BodyTite "These are all natural parts of the aging process. What we can do is try preventative treatments or get a neck lift / face lift earlier in the aging process. There are numerous non-surgical options available, and some can be used in combination to get best outcomes, but you would need a consultation with an expert.

Answer: Early aging neck skin solutions Thanks for sharing. In my opinion there likely is not enough laxity in the skin and muscle for a surgical solution. Raiofrequency treatments such as eMatrix will help stimulate collagen production and smooth out the neck. The results are variable. Botox will help the specific neck bands to soften.

Answer: Slowing progression of aging neck skin Hi bsg8686. Increasing the thickness of your dermis will diminish the amount of crepe-ness. This can be achieved most efficiently by Radiofrequency Microneedling by Profound. It is a single treatment that is FDA approved and shown to increase collagen, elastin and hyaluronic content in the skin. It is performed under local anesthetic and carries less than a week of downtime. Other methods that are effective are a series of chemical peels, regular microneedling, and laser resurfacing. Topical agents that are necessary include sunscreen to prevent further degradation of the skin and Retin A to support cell turnover and collagen production in the skin. There is research that show that oral hyaluronic acid and oral collagen supplements are supportive of good skin-professional grade Xymogen supplements have human clinical trials that quantify the benefits--they are only available through practioners, so look for a Xymogen provider online. Starting at the earliest signs of aging will help you look younger for longer. Good luck!
