Cone scarring wrinkling above top lip and general skin brightening needed.
Answer: Doing CO2 laser can help minimize appearance of fine lines and wrinkles Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2.

Answer: Laser Resurfacing & Skin Tightening -- Fraxel, CO2 or Erbium with Microneedling/PRP, Sculptra, Ultherapy, Radiofrequency Fraxel and/or CO2 are best for resurfacing, but Erbium is a good alternative. I always combine lasers with microneedling/PRP for more robust outcomes. For skin tightening, I recommend a combination of Ultherapy with RF treatments and Sculptra for skin tightening. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with a cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: Wrinkling above the top lip While CO2 laser and TCA are both forms of facial resurfacing which could be helpful for above the top lip wrinkles, in my opinion neither of these treatments are as good as a croton oil or Hetter Peel performed by a doctor experienced in this technique. Croton oil peeling is the single best means of performing facial resurfacing bar none. To get these lines it is important to peel deeply. This technique is also wonderful for treatment of acne scars. I believe that the Hetter Peel is the safest way to achieve your goals. Do some research and see if you agree. Good luck!

Answer: CO2 and Peels. In the context of peels, sure a TCA with Jessners can help. Spot TCA can be used for deep scars like pick - Ice Pick scars. Given the static photo, CO2 either fully ablative or sessions of CO2 Fractional can help.
