Will RF microneedling help break down threads or should I have a necklift? (Photos)

Hello, around 4 months ago i had a slight bit of skin laxity to my neck and my botox nurse suggested i get pdo mono threads. It’s been 4 months and they have done nothing but make it 100 times worse. The provider keeps telling me it’s fine but clearly it’s not. My question is will RF needling help break down the threads and reduce the serverity of the laxity now or is a necklift the only option?

You would do well with a little micro liposuction under local and the addition of quantumRF with it to make all the difference in the world.

Hi! Dr Peterson here - thanks for reaching out. I understand how frustrating malar bags or persistent malar edema can feel. Topical creams alone usually won’t resolve this, because the issue is often related to fat pad position, fluid retention, or skin laxity rather than surface skin changes. ...
