I'd like other doctors opinion: Why do I still have wrinkles? The Dr. admitted it didn't work the 1st time it looked the same. So the 2nd treatment was free. He says it still needs a third treatment. Why doesn't it work? Anyone experience this?
Answer: I had CO2 ablative laser around my mouth and Chin 2 times in one year, why isn't it working Assuming the CO2 laser was done traditionally and inclusive enough and with the appropriate energies a third laser is unlikely to make much of a difference. It appears you have lost some volume around the mouth, nasolabial area and drool troughs. Fillers will help restore volume and help “unwrinkle” the areas of your concern. In addition RF MICRONEEDLING will tighten the skin, restore some collagen and reduce crepe skin. Long term a mid face and neck lift will definitely provide nice results.

Answer: Lines around mouth -- emeragecosmetics ENLIGHTEN/COSMELAN, microneedling system you will not clear this just with laser alone you need an early face or neck lift, and fillers. between co2 laser you should be doing plasma pen and/or fraxel or halo regularly. start dermarolling at home. you will need many treatments. Best, Dr. Emer.

Answer: Fillers Work Well For Wrinkles, Folds & Crepeyness Around The Mouth & Chin I'm really sorry that you have gone through ablative lasering twice without much benefit. But, if what I see is pretty much what you had BEFORE the laser treatments, then I would have been inclined to recommend treatment with fillers. Less robust fillers, such as Belotero Balance, would handle the vertical lipstick bleeding lines that are particularly pronounced above your top lip, as well as the crepeyness to the sides of the mouth and chin. Restylane Lyft would help to straighten the downturned marionette lines and would elevate and smooth the relatively deep mental crease (the fold between the bottom lip and the chin. The results of this kind of treatment typically engender an immediate "Wow!" reaction and little to no significant downtime. It is difficult to say why you haven't responded to the laser treatments. It could relate to provider lack of expertise or experience, but more likely in my opinion going the laser route, rather than the filler route. Hope this helps and best of luck.

Answer: CO2 ablative laser Thank you for your question. It is hard to determine why the laser did not work. There are many different depths that the laser can penetrate too and the deeper the depth the better at removing deep wrinkles. Typically the deeper depth has about a 2-3 week recovery period and then it does take several months to start building collagen which will smooth and soften the lines out even more. Hope this helps!
