Glabellar lines and CO2 laser. Is it worth the investment to get this done? (Photo)

Question

I’m 30 and have been getting receiving Botox every 2.5-3 months for the last year and a half and have some static lines on my 11s My Botox has softened the lines but they are still there and bother me a lot. I know filler in the forehead area has a lot of risks so I'm not interested in having that done but I’ve been researching Fraxel/CO2 laser. Is it worth the investment to get this done? Will I see improvements in my 11s?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

without filles this will not completely be improved you will need to continue botox but in the office lasers and fractora will help soften. this should be done with at home peels like enlighten or aerify and MTS rollers (see link).

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (MTS roller with anteage MD ampules weekly, see linkt) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.
