So much is said about how you can keep your face looking younger. Well what about the neck? And just as important, what about the chest? Yes, we are talking about the lines and wrinkles of the neck, and the under-chin looseness. Some experience fullness under their chin, some have brown blotchiness of the chest and leathery lines as well. Now all of these are treatable. Layered Light™ treatment for aging doesn’t have to stop at the chin. So let’s keep going and talk a bit.
First the chest and neck get a tremendous beating from sunlight, so why not use lasers to help regenerate the skin after sun damage? My favorite lasers to use on the neck and chest are one of two choices.
- DOT resurfacing. DOT is an acronym for Dermal Optical Thermolysis. DOT treatments scan micro pixels of carbon dioxide laser energy into the skin surface, stimulating collagen regeneration and skin surface collagen tightening. We use numbing creams that make this treatment comfortable. But remember, this is not a laser treatment for a medispa, or anyone else other than a highly trained and experienced laser physician within the specialties of dermatology and plastic surgery.
- Fraxel. Fraxel Dual 1927 wavelength laser is a great choice for the brown and red blotchiness that comes with too much sun.
These are choices in laser selection that can be used to complement each other. So often we hear after treatment, “My chest is so smooth, and the color looks great!”
Even More Options
For loose skin and crepyness under the chin, let’s talk about combining Layered Light tightening with Ultherapy for deeper skin-focused ultrasound tightening. These treatments are noninvasive and gain you tightening and lift, without the need for surgery.
Then there is Layered Light for Body Shaping, and why not use lasers to dissolve excess fat under the chin with laser assisted lipolysis?
These treatments can easily be combined in a single office visit. Ready to look younger? Give us a call today for a personal assessment of your cosmetic needs.
