What kind of improvement could you realistically expect in marionete and NLFolds from the combination of Co2 Dot laser, following with prp, and probably doing Sculptra first? 61 year old female. Marionette lines did not improve much with filler right in front of the fullness and the ultimate procedure WOULD be a facelift. I know this, just trying to get by for another year or so and health may not permit, so looking for alternatives. Thanks! Already tried ultherapy once with very minimal results.

Answer: Laser with PRP Our Fractional CO2 laser is often used to help decrease deep wrinkles, fine lines, and pigmented lesions. The resurfacing fractional technique encourages your body’s natural collagen cells to increase their production. When combined with PRP it works effectively to rejuvenate wrinkles, acne and scarring. I would not recommend using a RF fractional laser (We use the INMODE Fractora) in combination with fillers. Autologous fat transfer to the face is the most effective way to achieve a filler like effect without compromising the ability of the laser's techniques. Fillers such as sculptra or juvederm can be used, but if the patient is going under anesthesia, it makes more sense to use autologous fat because the supply isn't limited, it contains your own stem cells, and offers more of a chance for a semi-permanent result.

Answer: Fractional CO2 laser and PRP Results Thank you for your question. The fractional CO2 is often used in skin tightening treatments to help decrease wrinkles and pigmented lesions, and to encourage your body’s natural collagen production. When combined with PRP it works effectively to with wrinkles, acne and scarring. For volume loss in the face such as marionette lines, I recommend using dermal fillers such as Voluma or Juvederm. For more information, I recommend getting a in-person consultation from a board-certified dermatologist.
