Which procedure would help improve the appearance of wrinkles on calves from sun damage? (photo)

Question

I'm in 60s, weigh 135 and have sun damage. My question is: what is the best procedure to improve skin wrinkles on my calves caused by sun damage? I do not expect skin reduction but only smoothing the skin to significantly reduce wrinkles. I have trie two skin tightening procedures in the past with no results: one on the neck and one on the inner upper arms. I hope to choose a procedure I can have confidence in. Thank you.

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.

Radiesse is a bio-stimulator that increases collagen and elastin to the area of injection and can help with rejuvenation. It can improve skin quality, skin thickness and help reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
