39 y/o with some sun spots, fine lines and slight loose skin around jowls. What's the best option or options? Was thinking Frax 1550 along with Ultherapy..? Not sure if they can be used hand in hand or if something like Frax would be sufficient to tighten and resurface face and jowl area

Answer: Best option is a curated treatment plan - spanning from skin-care to surgery Without photos an assessment cannot be made. Regardless, the general route everyone should consider in regards to their aesthetics - especially skin is: NOTE: If you are overweight Ultherapy would be a better choice than Morpheus8 due to many testimonials of producing "melted-fat" results. Ultherapy is the only FDA approved non-invasive procedure that lifts the neck, chin and brow, and improves lines and wrinkles on the upper chest. Ultherapy helps produce new collagen growth; more collagen equals firmer, tighter, more youthful skin Step 1 - Skin Care & Supplements - Re-define your skin - If you already have a skin-care routine, wonderful. If not, you need one; before spending any time or money on anything else it's essential that you treat yourself to the best skin-care routine possible. You can hire or get a consultation with a skin-care specialist or do-it-yourself by researching ingredients, companies, and constructing an assessment of what you need. Get a blood test - test your hormones and vitamin & minerals levels - supplement accordingly. You will feel and book better when all of your "essentials" are in balance. Side note: example of supplement effectiveness: Ingesting collagen has proven benefits for improving skin elasticity (i.e. improvement of wrinkles & fine-lines) and health, nail + hair health, supporting accelerated healing (from any burn/wound/cut/trauma) of the skin, improving joint mobility, and decreasing pain for those who suffer from joint pain Step 2 - Lasers - Sun Spots (IPL or Fraxel - dependent upon the severity of age/sun damage) and Skin Tightening (Morpheus8) - Skin resurfacing (developing healthy-glowing skin over-time; layers of skin will rebuild) - Smoother skin texture, reduced fine-lines and wrinkles, smaller pore size, and looking younger are all side-effects of getting treatments done. For all of the treatments listed above (excluding Ultherapy) it is recommend to get multiple treatments for optimal results. NOTE: Fillers should only be done after maintaining a skin-care routine and getting power-enabled treatments such as lasers, RF, ultrasound, etc. for optimal results and avoiding potential dissolving and/or complications Step 3 - Fillers - for any remaining fine lines - It's important to leave fillers towards the end of your tailored "treatment plan" NOTE: Step 4 & 5 would most likely not be applicable or needed (especially after completed treatment and maintenance of steps 1-3) if your skin-laxity is not severe. But it is important to know all the options. Step 4 - Non-surgical facelift - Threads - It's possible to produce a partial "non-surgical facelift" result through Steps 1-3. But a complete "non-invasive" result can be reached though a Thread-Lift. PDO Thread lift supports to lift and contour the face and also tighten the sagging skin. PDO Threads will be dissolved by the body in around six months, but the stimulation of collagen will continue for 2 years. however, increased collagen production continues for up to two years. PDO threads area great way to tighten sagging skin, reduce wrinkling, and create new collagen. They are classified as “Collagen Stimulators”. Step 5 - Surgery (Neck & or Face -lift) - Neck lifts are widely considered the most effective treatment for jowls and majority of neck-lift patients are also eligible for a face-lift. You should get multiple consultations from specialists in all of the areas listed above.
