I am interested in rejuvenating the skin of my neck and décolletage. I am thinking of pearl fractional laser. I am a 50 y/o reformed sunbather and have some textural, freckling and crepeness to chest area and committed for the past 25 years to DAILY SPF 30 (or higher). Any thoughts if I would be a good candidate? I do not drink or smoke and am in good health.

Answer: Treatments for Thin Skin Thanks for your question. We don't have a Pearl fractional laser so I checked its ratings on Real Self. It only has a 63% worth it rating. If you are going the fractional laser to correct sun damage and texture, you would also need a series of IPL treatments. IPL is only safe for skin types I-III. You may experience redness and swelling for 1 to 7 days with this combination treatment.Since you didn't complain about any vascular lesions (red discoloration), you should consider a series of PicoSure FOCUS treatments. Our patients see a reduction of hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage and a thickening of their skin that will eliminate crepiness. Best of luck.

Answer: Vivace Microneedling may be your answer The great thing with this system is you can work on multiple areas with the same disposable cartridge of needles and use them to deliver radiofrequency to your areas of concern. You need probably 2-3 sessions. Good luck.
