Halo vs. Morpheus8 to reduce signs of aging? - one or two pimples when off topical meds

Question

I have acne that is well controlled with topical meds (duac and retin-a), I am unable to take antibiotics due to chronic gastritis. I am 50, ave uneven skin texture, crows feet and a fine line across the bridge of nose. I am looking to reduce signs of aging, I have done just plain microneedling in the past - when I stop my topical meds to prepare for microneedling I get one or two pimples. Am I an appropriate candidate for Halo or Morpheus8? Which one is better if I am a candidate for both?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

for anyone they need devices to tighten skin (ie fractora/morpheus) and devices to resurface the texture and color of the skin (ie halo, fraxel, co2 etc).  you need both types of treatments for full facial rejuvenation.
 I would suggest a combination approach of :

1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel, Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skinBest, Dr. Emer.
