Is Botox better for crepey neck skin than RF treatment when the patient has very little neck fat and mild bands? (photo)

May 19, 2017
Asked By:AD79 in United Kingdom, GB

Hello, I've had 6 radio frequency treatments now for creepy skin on my neck but recently have felt like my neck looks worse. I've just had a look online & saw a doctor's comment that RF treatment on a neck with little fat can actually make crepe-like skin look worse as RF destroys fat cells. Is this true please? I'm considering Botox in my neck (a Nefertiti lift) instead. Do you think this is better? I also have mild bands. I know it's more expensive but hope it's worth it. I'm 37. Many thanks:)

Answer: A resurfacing laser such as Clear & Brilliant can help reduce crepey skin. Recommend doing a hydrating filler as well
