50 yr old- would the Quanta Discovery Pico laser cause facial fat loss when using it for facial rejuvenation? (photo)

Question

I am 50 yrs old and I have sun damage from years in the sun. I also have some hollowing along with crepey skin under my eyes along with marionette lines and skin laxity in my chin area with minor PIH after prp micro needling. I want to tighten my skin before resorting to fillers. I was told that this laser would help all the above but my concern is apoptosis. I'd definitely like to avoid that :)

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

"I suggest reaching out to an expert for a formal consultation. I like to recommend my patients start a combination of facial rejuvenation treatments.

1) Skincare with products and microneedling/PRP
2) PDT Light Therapy a few times per month with growth factors
3) Laser treatments like Clear + Brilliant regularly and others (Fraxel, Moxi, Viva, CO2, Erbium, Halo) a few times per year
4) Sculptra injections a few times per year for collagen production with fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, Belotero, Radiesse, and/or Bellafill
5) Thermage/Ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone-based Instalift threads for lifting
6) Botox every 2 to 3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest

Best, Dr. Emer."
