Question:I am only 42 years old but sometimes I look at least fifty. I know it is a combination of love for the beach and sun as well as smoking. I want a very deep facial treatment. Does the Fraxel laser remove most facial wrinkles, including those around my lips? What about the deeper creases? Will the outer layers of my skin peel?
Answer:The Fraxel Repair Laser removes finer wrikles and improves the deeper ones. It is very effective for wrinkles around the mouth, but to prevent their return, you need to stay out of the sun or at least use a good sun block and STOP smoking. Small doses of Botox or Dysport also help to treat the wrinkles around the mouth and to make the results last longer. The laser doesn’t make your skin peal. It actually removes many, many tiny little areas of your skin during the treatment which tightens the skin and builds the collagen which decreases with aging.
