I have extensive wrinkling on my cheeks

Question:

I have extensive wrinkling on my cheeks. I would like a laser skin resurfacing treatment to make my face look younger. How effective is the laser treatment in removing the deeper wrinkles? Is this a painful procedure?

Answer:

Yes, I use Fraxel Repair Laser Resurfacing to treat cheek and other facial wrinkles. The treatment is very effective. The most effective results are achieved with the combination of a mini-or standard facelift with post surgery Fraxel treatment. There is some discomfort during the procedure, but not afterwards. I use strong numbing cream and numbing injections before to make it more comfortable. Fraxel Repair is the most up to date, most effective laser with a much shorter downtime then the old fashioned lasers.
