Question

Hello , I’m a bit worried with my lower face and jawline / neck chin area . I’ve noticed there’s sono laxity , flaccid skin I guess and I wonder what’s the best treatment ? As I don’t want to do a facelift just yet . I’m 30y old This is only bad when I’m laying down if I’m standing this is not visible at all the laxity is not noticeable. I’d like to to know what procedures/ lasers are best to target this issue ? I feel very conscious about it

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Best,

Hello,
Based on your pictures, you have lower face ptosis and sagging and extra skin in upper neck / jawline area. Face lift gives the best result but the best non surgical option in this case is Profound RF. It tightens the skin and lifts this areas.

One option to consider is FaceTite.  This minimally invasive procedure uses RF technology to tighten the skin.  No general anesthesia is required.  Results can be enhanced with Morpheus8 treatments to improve overall skin tone and texture.  We also recommend using medical grade skin care products and wearing sunscreen every day.

Hi Generous 615261, the skin laxity can be improved on the surface with radiofrequency microneedling (Sylfirm X, Scarlett, Agnes--these are the only 3 devices that aren't painful), and/or fractional laser resurfacing treatments (like Palomar 1540 nm) you will need more than one-usually a series of 3 about 6 weeks apart. For more improvement, the Renuvion radiofrequency subdermal plasma coagulation can be done by introducing the handpiece under the skin.  Ask for topical exosome treatments with your resurfacing so that you can shorten recovery (redness, swelling), repair the skin and encourage more collagen/elastin regrowth. Best wishes, Dr. Doolabh

To begin with, everyone has skin folds when laying down due to the effects of gravity on the surface. To create a sharper jawline, liposuction with Renuvion would be recommended.
