Most affordable yet effective treatment?
Treatment options to consider would be a series of IPL treatments and dilute Radiesse or Sculptra injections to thicken the skin and help with some of the vertical lines. Sun protection going forward is very important. Please see a dermatologist for an in-person evaluation.Best,Dr. Ort
We see this all the time in South Florida. Years of sun exposure causes brown and red pigmentation at the décolleté area (upper chest). This can be treated effectively with Sciton HERO BBL (their newest IPL device), with results in as little as one or two treatments. There is minimal "downtime" other than having what (ironically) looks like a sunburn on your chest for a week or two. The rough texture to the skin can be treated with a different laser, either fractional or full-field Erbium resurfacing. I would recommend waiting until after the IPL before trying resurfacing -- you may see an improvement in texture from the IPL alone. Hope this helps!
