Hi Alice, I am thinking of getting a Dermalux Flex . I’m 61 and recently lost a stone in weight. I am taking collagen tablets but want to increase lost volume in my face and avoid fillers. Would this be a good investment? It’s expensive!

Hi, yes, the Dermalux Flex is expensive – it’s brilliant for improving skin quality, hydration and firmness, it takes down skin redness, reduces inflammation and will help reduce pigmentation from age spots… BUT it can’t help restore lost volume in the face. Nor can collagen supplements; they too help the strength and quality of the skin, but can’t make the face regrow the fat pads or restore the bone mass that has been eroded by the years. Nothing can do that except fillers or fat transfer – and I know those are not something you want to do. Sorry.
