My skin has become very thin and crepey, I'm 30 years old.

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.

Thank you for your question. I suggest that you move forward and consult with a board certified facial plastic surgeon to determine what type of skin resurfacing is right for you. Different techniques - including laser refinishing, chemical peel, and dermabrasion - vary in strength and they can be adjusted depending on your specific needs.
Best wishes,

Hello and thank you for your question.You are at the age where the aging process begins. It is very important to not only use the right skin care products at home but do have treatments to the skin to induce collagen production.Medical grade chemical peels are always a great way to not only exfoliate the skin but to also stimulate the cells. Your skin will appear much brighter and healthier.Microneedling with PRP is a favorite by most! Microneedling is a controlled injury to the skin which then stimulates the collagen production to heal the injured area. This is a favorite to most of our patients.The sooner you start stimulating the cells that are beginning to slow down. The sooner you will slow down the aging process.Hope this helps,
