Friend had Active Fx about 2 mos back. She's 35 and had just a slight amount of laxity. So far, her skin looks pretty in that it has a new "glow", but she mainly did it For tightening, and I don't see any difference. She doesn't see it either, but assures me it takes about 6 months for the tightening effect to kick in. Is that true? My doc recommend the same laser for tightening, but I'm not convinced that's the best option based on her results. Are Thermage or Ultherapy better/quicker? Thanks!

Answer: Active FX and skin tightening Thank you for the great question. Active FX is a good treatment for tightening and rejuvenating the face. It removes wrinkles and dark spots and provides the "glow" that you mention. For more severe droopiness, other treatments can be combined with Active FX for optimal results. These include surgical options such as liposuction / liposculpture and facelift / neck lift. Other non-surgical options include Threadlifts, Ulthera and Kybella. If you would like to learn more about the procedure I recommend an in person consultation with a board certified facial plastic surgeon or dermatologist with cosmetic training.

Answer: Ultheray for tightening the lower 1/3 of face Active FX is good for tightening especially around the eyes and eyelids. If you have a concern about saggy looking at lower face, Ultheapy and or lipo or kybella works better. But still, Active FX works well for facial skin tightening. I combine Active FX , Ultherapy, and lipo sometimes for the best result.
