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 co2 laser does very little for "tightening and lifting." its great for complexion and lines and some lifting around the jowls and under eyes, but we combine this treatment with ultherapy or thermage to get the best results. Please see someone who is an expert in combination treatment. Best, Dr. Emer.

CONTACT NOW 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.

Answer: Tighter skin? Hello and thank you for your question. Active Fx is primarily a "Surface" tool. By that I mean that the laser in this configuration will deliver the "Glow" you mentioned as the primary result. Tightening would be a secondary and unpredictable result for Active Fx. In combination with other skin tightening procedures such as Ultherapy you can obtain the result you desire.

Answer: Better Choices for Skin Tightening If skin laxity is your primary concern, I would not likely recommend Active FX for you. This treatment is excellent for skin rejuvenation but not so effective in skin tightening. Ultherapy and ThermiTight are both better treatments for this purpose, as they are specifically designed to tighten skin. In addition to constricting underlying tissue, the procedures stimulate the body to produce more collagen for natural, long-lasting results. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified dermatologist who knows how to customize your treatment to your precise needs and goals to ensure an optimal outcome.

Answer: Combination approach might be best for you Very good question. Active FX is an excellent choice for skin rejuvenation and minimizing the early signs of aging. It can also reverse mild laxity, but it doesn’t work particularly well on significant sagging. In a situation where Active FX did not provide sufficient tightening, I would likely recommend adding a nonsurgical skin tightening treatment like Ultherapy or ThermiTight to put the finishing touch on your anti-aging efforts. Make sure you work with an experienced, board-certified cosmetic dermatologist with a variety of treatment options so your plan can be tailored to your precise needs and aesthetic results.

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.
