Laser resurfacing treatment
Do you have the laser resurfacing treatment that corrects festoons and triggers new collagen fibers. I just read about this and it says 1 treatment is all that is needed. Is this true?

Elizabeth Anderson Responds:
Hi Janice,
Thanks for your question. There has been a lot of buzz around treating "festoons" with laser since it was highlighted on the Dr. Oz show. Unfortunately, in my opinion the procedure is overhyped. In many of the success stories that are highlighted the patient actually had both surgery AND laser treatment.
In our dermatology practice in Knoxville, we use use the Fraxel re:store Dual laser. It is very effective for pigmented spots on the skin, wrinkles, improved skin tone, and laxity. It is not effective for festoons.
Thanks,
