I am in my mid-30s and have very faint laxity in the lower face. The woman who does my Sculptra says I don't have jowls but I can see them developing/. I'm already doing Sculptra but want to experiment with lasers to tighten my skin WITHOUT losing fat. Eventually I plan on a face lift but I'm not there yet. However I am overwhelmed by choice. Should I do RF micro needling? Ultherapy? Skintyte? I have consulted but docs tend to just recommend the technology they have in office.
