    Default DEKA laser or microneedling w/PRP

    Anyone have experience with either one of the procedures? I'm thinking of a place for some laser resurfacing, to smooth out my skin, get rid of any fine lines creeping in and get rid of sun spots. The place I'm looking at only has DEKA laser, which, from what I understand is the strongest type of laser. The office told me that they like to do fat injections along with it, like around the temples, etc. It's $1500 for DEKA or $2500 for DEKA plus lipofilling, full face. I've been wanting to do a laser treatment on my face for a long time, just don't know if DEKA is the right choice.

    Alternatively, I got a quote for PRP microneedling. It's $200/session. I've been advised by one of the plastic surgeons I've visited in the past that PRP is a waste of money because the results are so temporary but I've heard it works for some.

    Suggestions? Thoughts?

    Microneedling is effective as a series, as you're probably aware. I get it done regularly in combination with a peel, and i think it's useful. Results are obviously not comparable to lasers, of course. Lasers will have much more dramatic results.

    I've been hearing great things about the Clear & Brilliant laser. That's what I'd look into, personally. However, I've never gotten a laser treatment. Look into fraxel / non-ablative unless you're looking for a more extreme procedure.

    The YouTuber "HotandFlashy" is extremely open about procedures and may be worth a watch - she has a playlist of "anti-aging procedures" that show progression and results. Might be useful.
