With a thinner face, which would be better filler or Fraxel?

I am 59 and have always had a very thin face. Had Juviderm for volumn 5 months agod, but on the cheekbone area have uneven skin. Will Fraxel help or should I just get more juviderm.

I just want to clarify this. If you are saying that you have a little lumpiness over the cheekbone area after your Juvederm, then only having more filler to even it out, letting it just wear off, or dissolving a little of it to even it out by your dermatologist or provider will help.

 

If you are saying that you have brown spots or uneven skin color over the area now and are maybe noticing it more with the extra volume there, then the Fraxel or Fraxel Dual will help you more.

 

Hope this helps,  Dr. I

One of the best investments in your skin is your daily skincare. Why? Because you can prevent many problems with blotchy skin color, lack of glow, texture, some types of acne, and fine lines with good skincare products. You can also correct some of these problems with effective skincare products. Great skincare is often more expensive because quality ingredients are expensive. Some companies spend on research/development which benefits all of us and adds to the cost. Are they worth it? In general - yes! I have handpicked some of what I consider to be the best skin care products, and offer them for sale on SkinTour's shop. This is based on my team and I's testing and research at our clinic. Many of the products are in my own regimen. What could be better than using skin care products a dermatologist uses?!
