What can I do for my chest and neck? I'm considering Fraxel restore and/or a peel. I'm also prone to skin cancer and have had treatment on a few pre-cancerous spots on my face in the last month. They all responded well to cryosurgery. I want to treat my chest aggressively because I expect my chest is the next place the spots will show up. Any advice is appreciated. I'm in the Orange County, California area. Thanks

Answer: What is fraxel Fraxel is a laser skin rejuvenation treatment that resurfaces your outer skin, erasing imperfections. It also encourages the production of collagen, a protein found in connective tissue.The result is clearly visible lines, folds and wrinkles. Fraxel laser skin rejuvenation is a non-invasive technique that affects only about 20 percent of the facial skin exposed to it. The most common side effects of Fraxel laser treatment are swelling and skin redness, which should subside within a couple of days. Other temporary side effects may include minor itching, dry skin, peeling or flaking, and a bronzed skin appearance. The risk of infection or scarring is very limited.

Answer: Chest and Neck Photodamage -- IPL combined with Clear+Brilliant and Eclipse Micropen There are many options for this. However, given both red/brown/wrinkles I would suggest a combination approach such as IPL for color, Clear+Brilliant and Micropen for wrinkling. I get amazing results in my practice with this, and have very little downtime. More agressive approaches include co2 laser resurfacing as well as pulsed dye laser in combination with others. Best, Dr. Emer.
