Candela 1940 & 1550 Fractional Laser, 1 session, 8 weeks
Concern
Lines and wrinkles
Expression lines come from muscles doing the same thing thousands of times. Static lines, the ones still there when your face is at rest, come from the skin underneath them thinning. They are two different problems, and the treatments below are not interchangeable.

The first question is whether the line moves. A line that appears when you frown or raise your brows is being made by a muscle, and relaxing that muscle is what softens it. A line that sits in the skin whether you are expressing or not needs the skin itself rebuilt, which means resurfacing, microneedling or a collagen stimulator.
Most people have both kinds by the time they start looking. That is why the better results usually come from combining a muscle treatment with a skin treatment, rather than doing more of either one.
The two also work on completely different calendars. Neurotoxin shows up quickly and wears off gradually. Collagen treatments show nothing for weeks and then keep improving for months. If you are treating ahead of something, which one you choose decides how far ahead you need to start.

Questions
Will I look frozen?
Not unless you ask for it. How much movement you keep is decided by dose and placement, and the default here is to leave you expressive. It is easier to add a little at a follow up than to wait out too much.
Should I start before I have lines?
There is a reasonable argument for treating a line before it sets into the skin, because keeping one away is easier than removing one. There is also no urgency. If the line is only there when you move, you have time to think about it.
Can I combine more than one of these?
Often, and sometimes in the same appointment. Which combinations make sense depends on your skin and on what you have had done recently, which is what the consultation is for.

Texture and pores, Skin laxity and firmness, Acne and acne scarring, Pigmentation and sun damage
Not sure which of these is right?
Jyl will look at your skin and tell you which of these is worth doing, and which is not. The consultation fee goes toward whatever you book.
