Which procedure would be best for smoothing out the chin? (photos)

Hello! I’m Lauren, the aesthetic provider here at Colorado Plastic Surgery Center. For smoothing the chin area, a CO2 laser treatment can be a great option. It works by removing the outer damaged skin layer and boosting collagen production underneath. This helps improve skin texture, reduce fine lines, and smooth out uneven or rough areas. It’s especially effective for deeper wrinkles or sun damaged skin. Just keep in mind there’s some downtime for healing, but results can be long lasting.

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,

Based on your photo, I would say the most improvement you could get in your chin would be with CO2 laser resurfacing. This is normally a procedure that could be done in the office and has about a week of immediate recovery.
