Is it safe to have a fraxel laser treatment after a facelift? (Photo)

Question

4 years ago I had a facelift. Two years later, I had an under eyelid operation and a yaq laser treatment. I felt I very fast developed wrinkles, big pores and sagging skin after the treatment and my skin looks tired and dull. Six years ago I had a very good fraxel laser treatment. And I was thinking that could help on my skin now, but I am afraid to damage it more.

Fraxel laser treatment improves one's skin overall texture, so it is an ideal treatment that can be safely performed before and/or after a facelift or facial plastic surgery. I suggest scheduling a consultation with a board certified dermatologist.

Thank you for your question. Fraxel is a great treatment
after a facelift. It helps improve skin texture, tones, and helps to remove sun
damage. However, Fraxel Laser Treatment will not get rid of fine lines and
wrinkles. There are many other types of lasers and injections that are available
in the market to assist with fine lines.Thank you for your question.

Mark Taylor, MD · Answer

Fraxel laser treatments are safe to have following a face lift.  Both the Fraxel Restore and the Fraxel Repair lasers can be used safely by experience doctors to treat your skin.

Michele S. Green, MD · Answer

Fraxel is a fabulous laser and you have a great idea to rejuvenate the skin after a facelift.  It would definitely help the tone and texture of your skin.  I would definitely advise you to only go to an experienced dermatologist who has treated many patients with Fraxel and other lasers for the best cosmetic results.
