I am just 53 years young and have been subjected to the sun living here in FL. I am not ready to go under the knife but really need to focus on tightening and lifting my neck and whether Fractora would work on my face and neck for tightening and smoothing. If not recommendations other than surgery would be appreciated. I did thermage and it was a total waste of time

Answer: Fractora for wrinkling of face and neck. I have been using the Fractora treatment and it has given very nice results. I would certainly recommend the treatment. A face lift would not work to correct the damage or the wrinkling. I would also recommend using medical grade skin care such as Skin Medica - which does a really nice job of making the skin healthier and look glowing and smoother. Also medical grade sunscreen such as Elta or Skin Medica is a must - please avoid further damage by limiting sun exposure. You might want to consider using sun blocking hats - Tilley or Coolibar or Sun Precautions clothing as well. If you smoke, please stop - smoking contributes significantly to skin damage as well as overall health. Thank you for the question and hope that helps.

Answer: Fractora with FaceTite Hi kpope and thank you for your question. Thank you for sharing your photos. Fractora works by placing needles through the skin and 'injecting' radiofrequency energy just below or into the skin surface to help produce wrinkle ablation and skin tightening. However, this treatment will not address the underlying muscle or fat. It appears in your photos that you have some banding in the under-chin area. In order to address platysmal bands, the underlying connections ought to be freed and the muscle tightened to eliminate these. This is called a corset platysmaplasty and is an excellent treatment for banding in the under-chin area. This treatment can be combined with another minimally invasive procedure which helps tighten the deeper layers under the skin called FaceTite. The FaceTite treatment is performed by placing a wand equipped with a radiofrequency tip under the skin to apply energy to the deeper connective tissues and provide neck skin tightening. Performing this at the same time as a platysmaplasty can offer a powerful rejuvenation of the neck without undergoing a full facelift. I would recommend consultation with a physician who is familiar with these technologies and can help provide you with the various options available for treating your face and neck area. Good luck!
