Sagging skin due to long-term prednisone use, what are my treatment options?

Asked By:SPM85 in Costa Mesa, CA

I have lupus, I’ve been on prednisone high and low doses for 10 years. I’m 33 and I look 80. I tried Ultherapy 2 yrs ago and it didn’t help. My eyelids, jaw line and cheeks are droopy. After facials, creams, vitamins and light threatments I’m ready for results. I started an infusion treatment for lupus 2 months ago, and I’m tapping prednisone to stop it. I want myself back. What kind of treatment would be suitable for me? my skin heals fine. I had a c-section 3 yrs ago with no issue.
