- Q: What can I do about fine lines around my eyes and mouth? Is Retin-A the best way to go, or something gentler?
- A:Retin-A is great for an all-over smother skin texture. It helps wonderfully with fine lines and wrinkles, acne, and even fades brown spots. You may initially experience some flaking or redness that usually subsides within the 4-6 weeks of using the product. Most patients using Retin-A absolutely love it! If you opt not to, a great hydroxyl acid treatment such as SkinCeuticals Intense Line Defense is a fabulous line-minimizing nighttime treatment.
- Q:My skin is beginning to fall on my face and I am starting to have that “older woman” jowl look. Are there any laser treatments that would work for this problem?
- A:Yes, there is the new non-invasive ReFirme / Matrix treatment that tightens up the jowl line, neck, cheeks, and forehead. The combined bi-polar radio frequency and light energies of elos technology precisely heat the dermal tissue. This stimulates collagen production and produces a firming effect in lax skin. The best yet, it is a gentle comfortable treatment requiring no downtime!
