I am considering to combine RF treatment with Pico laser for skin tightening and reduction in fine and medium to deep wrinkles. I have marionette lines and skin suggin in jaw area. I have also many small wrinkles and uneven skin texture for which I am considering Pico. During consultation it suggested to do Pico with IPL in stead, as this is more effective for collagen production and should give better results. How effective IPL for skin tightening and collagen production? Not pigmentation only
Can Forma dissolve Botox or fillers (surface level or above muscle)? And can it dissolve your own fat if used improperly (like ulthera)? Should younger patients stretch out the treatment more than a week apart? And how often do you need to get touch ups after the initial series?
If I choose to combine Forma with a laser like Fraxel, Pico etc with down time of 4-6 days. How should i combine the treatment? Should i finish the laser first and then start og Forma? Or should i start with Forma and then follow with Laser? Can i do Forma and laser in one treatment? I am affraid i will not see improvement if combined with laser on the same day, as i will be puffy and imflamed after laser and forma glow and tightening will not be visible right after treatment
About 1.5 months ago I had 2ml hyaluronic acid filler injected in my lower face ( with cannula and fanning technique, 1ml each side). I didn't like the result as it made my lower-face look wide, so I had it dissolved with hyalase over 2 rounds. However, my skin hasn't reverted back to its normal size. A derm told me that my skin has been stretched and collagen/elastin damaged by the cannula Can Forma help my tissue contract / become smaller again? Or cause further damage?
I am 51, have developed wrinkles under my eyes when I smile (no wrinkles otherwise). I have had 2 consults: one practice recommended 6 treatments of Forma under eyes only. The other recommended 3 Fractora treatments. I may opt for entire face to be done, since I would like to increase collagen. While I am loving the fact that Forma has so much less down time, I am wondering if it is as effective for eye wrinlkles/collagen building as Fractora?
