Hello, For my entire life the skin on my legs have had wrinkles. I also have keratosis pilaris, ichthyosis on my lower legs and some hyperpigmentation. My main concern at the moment is improving the wrinkles on my legs. Is there a procedure that can help? Bonus for me if it can address more that one issue. Photo attached of leg. Thank you for your help!

Answer: Treatments to improve skin texture on legs Thank you for your question. While there is no “cure” for your skin conditions, there are effective ways to manage their symptoms. RF microneedling is a collagen induction therapy that stimulates the body to produce more collagen. This essential protein provides support to the dermal structure, to smooth skin and create a more even tone. Fractionated laser treatments are also good for this purpose. In addition, there are topical products you can use daily at home to improve both the health and appearance of your skin. I recommend scheduling an appointment with a board-certified dermatologist who can assess you in person and create a customized treatment plan for your precise needs and goals.

Answer: Improving Wrinkles -- with Fillers, Botox, Sculptra, Ultherapy, Radiofrequency Lasers, Microneedling/PRP Thank you for your question, Wrinkles can be improved with a combination of Botox and/or fillers for the lines themselves and to build anatomical support with Sculptra for collagen building. Ultherapy is a great skin tightening device, but works best in combination with other treatments like RF treatments, lasers, microneedling/PRP or sculptra to get increased collagen, tightening and improve skin tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
