Profractional laser and skin tightening for sagging skin on my breasts and areolas?

Question

Hi I’m interested in the profrac laser. I have been told it tightens skin. Could this laser essentially tighten sagging skin on breast and areolas from pregnancy and breast feeding

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.  Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.  
Best,

Morpheus8 series and some ProFractional series can be a helpful combination approach to improving this kind of laxity. And then “maintenance” sessions with non-ablative fractional every few months can certainly be a good idea.
