I have slight sagging around jowls, and slight loss of elasticity of face will retin-a help in regaining it back

Question

Michael I. Echavez, MD · Answer

Retin-A can help improve minor superficial issues with the surface of the skin, but in my opinion, it will not help with sagging around the jowls.  An examination of you would provide more information in order to give you advice as to specific treatments that might be of benefit to you.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question. A combination approach would give the most improvement. Deep wrinkles and smile lines can be improved with a combination of Botox and/or fillers for the lines themselves and to build anatomical support with Sculptra for collagen building. Ultherapy is a great skin tightening device, but works best in combination with other treatments like J Plasma, RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP, salt facials, Cosmelan for skin tightening and improve skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer

Thank you for your question.An in-person evaluation needs to be done to examine your face and neck to determine the best treatment plan for you. Prescription retinoids are effective in minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. I highly recommend you consult with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon to have your skin evaluated and to discuss appropriate treatment options that best suit your  needs. Take care and good luck.
