Age 44 - options to get face tone back and correct mouth frown? (Photos)

Question

Hi, I am 44 years old and have overall a good skin and I don't have any wrinkles. In fact, until I was 40/41 I didn't notice anything different on my face. However after that my face started to show signs of laxity, specially on the lower right side of my face. I am wondering which kind of non invasive treatment I could benefit from. Many thanks

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

Best,

A combination of PDO threads and bio-stimulating agents could potentially help improve the laxity on the lower right side of your face. It would be best to consult with a qualified cosmetic surgeon to determine if this is the best treatment option for your specific needs.

A downturned smile or permanent frown can be improved with a combination approach, including neuromodulators (such as Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau), injectable fillers, and radiofrequency skin tightening treatments such as Thermage or Venus Legacy. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist to develop a treatment plan that works for you. Best, Dr. Emer.

Thank you for your question about options to get face tone back and correct mouth lines. I believe you would benefit from either fillers in the cheeks, to lift and pull the face up OR I suggest Morpheus 8 treatments if you do not want dermal fillers. Morpheus 8 is microneedling + radiofruency and works to lift and tighten the face, minimize appearance of wrinkles, and address skin laxity. I hope this helps!

Camille Cash, MD · Answer

From your photos it appears you have a few options to address lower face concerns.  Fillers can add volume and help soften nasolabial folds and other deeper creases.  Morpheus8 treatments can be used to improve overall skin tone and texture.  You may also consider FaceTite which is a minimally invasive treatment that does not require general anesthesia.  It uses RF technology to tighten skin up to 40%.  See a board certified plastic surgeon near you to learn more.
