What's the difference in terms of results between Fraxel, Halo & Microlaser Peel? How does Microneedling + PRP compare? (Photo)

Question

Main concerns are fine lines; horizontal lines on forehead; crows feet & crepe-like under eye wrinkles when I smile; and overall collagen loss. (I also have some pigmentation and redness.). Retin-A just isn't cutting it. I've read about various laser treatments and microneedling, but it's difficult to find anything that directly compares them.

you need proper skincare and at home peels/dermarolling between in office lasers. consult us.

at home peels like cosmelan, enlighten and aerify along with dermarolling (EmerageSkin roller with anteage AERIFY MD ampules weekly, see link) should be started now to prevent further aging.

For facial rejuvenation,  I would suggest a combination approach of 
1) skin care with products and PRP/microneedling
2) PDT light therapy few times a month with growth factors
3) laser treatments like clear and brilliant regularly and a few times a year Fraxel/halo Viva, Co2/Erbium
4) Sculptra injections a few times a year for collagen production with fillers like juvederm/restylane/belotero/radiesse/bellafill
5) thermage/ultherapy for yearly skin tightening with or without PDO or cone based instalift threads for lifting
6) botox every 2-3 months to stop movement lines and prevent lines at rest
7) deep microneedling RF like Fractora/morpheus8 for tightening of the skin
8) Vascular laser like vbeam/excel V or BBL forever young treatment every quarter (3-4 months)

Best, Dr. Emer.

Fraxel is a great treatment for superficial layers of the skin and pigmentation. You can use it in combination with micro needling, but of all the mentioned treatments, Fraxel is the best. Stop using Retinoic Acid 2 weeks prior to your treatment.
