What laser would be best for me for anti-aging/collagen stimulating? Age 31 (Photos)

Question

Hello, I'm 31yrs old and i'm really interested and anti-aging/collagen stimulating treatments so I'm wondering which laser would be best for me. I've tried multiple different lasers, such as clear and brilliant, moxi, bbl, and morpheus8. I haven't been as consistent with them to see a huge result but I'm wondering if there's something else that would benefit more. Any suggestions??

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hi @misstanya15.  I recommend Morpheus 8.  Morpheus8 is a non-surgical treatment for full body skin resurfacing, skin tightening, and fat reduction of stubborn areas. It uses minimally invasive fractional radiofrequency energy (RF) to penetrate the skin deeper than other microneedling devices, triggering the skin’s natural healing response to promote skin tightening and lifting. Best of luck, Dr. Nima!

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. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photos. The erbium laser is an excellent choice for skin rejuvenation. It helps remove sun-damage, diminishes wrinkles and stimulates collagen production. See an experienced oculofacial surgeon who regularly uses this effective device. 
Good luck,

It sounds like you are on the right track with the treatments you have had. The treatments you mentioned are appropriate for your age. I would not go for anything too aggressive at this stage. The RF micro needling like the Morpheus8 is a great treatment if you do it consistently. However, many people find the treatment very painful and don't like the down time. SylfirmX is a better option for RF micro needling because it is much less painful and there is no down time and the results are better because the needles are designed differently and the energy is more precise. Combining fractional laser or RF micro needling with PRP or exosomes is a great combination because the tiny channels created by the laser or needles will allow the regenerative products to penetrate the skin and amplify the collagen stimulation.

Thank you for your question. With the treatments above, consistency is key with regular maintenance. However, a nice adjunct may be Radiesse. It's a filler that adds volume, but also stimulates collagen and elastin. Also, sunscreen is one of the simplest ways to prevent damage to the skin. I hope this helps, and all the best.
