Question:
What is the best treatment if you have really deep lines all over your face?
Answer:
If you truly have deep lines all over your face, it sounds as if you have a significant amount of damage to your skin. Individuals with deep lines all over their face tend to have had a great deal of sun exposure over the course of their lifetime. Fair skin and smoking also contribute to the exaggerated appearance of deep facial lines. If that is the case, then a more aggressive skin resurfacing procedure will likely be necessary in order to rejuvenate your facial skin. Laser resurfacing either with Fraxel laser or a combination of CO2 and Erbium non fractionated laser resurfacing will be necessary to treat the deep lines of your face. Dermal fillers or autologous fat grafting may help to fill the face so that your face looks more plump and youthful but, it sounds like skin resurfacing is going to be necessary.
