I had profound RF a few months ago and like the results. I've heard Active FX is a good complementary procedure, is that true?

Question

Is there any issue with having both done within a month of each other? I've also heard that a second round of profound RF after 6 months boosts the effects. Just want I get the best results for the money. Please advise.

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

profound is okay but I never thought the results lasted. we combine every 2-3 months morppheus with BBL and laser. if you want a big treatment you can do co2/active FX. if you want more conservative and long term you can do halo every 2-3 months, moxi or fraxel can be done every 6-8 weeks.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) 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.
