Does Laser Resurfacing Cause Eyelid Creases?

I am in my 30s. Had CO2 laser resurfacing done on my face and noticed creases under my eyes that I didn’t have before. I had a follow-up with my doctor and he said its normal because of swelling and will go away within 6 months as collagen builds, but they don't look swollen to me. Does this sound accurate or is the doctor trying to cover up a surgery gone bad? I trust him but want a 2nd opinion for reassurance. The pic is 7 days post-surgery.

A: Are these wrinkles to my lower lids caused by the laser treatment?

The results of laser resurfacing can take up to 6 months to manifest themselves.  As such, being only a week after your treatment you are far away from seeing the final results.

I would speak with the doctor who performed your laser treatment and express your concerns. 

I hope that helps!

Best Laser for Eyelid Wrinkles?

machines "specialized" for one treatment perform that treatment perfectly.What is the best laser for “eyelids wrinkles”? Please I ask your opinion for “wrinkles..” on lasers that require one session AND your opinion on lasers that require more sessions to obtain the same results… What is the best laser specific for skin resurfacing? Please,I’m again asking about lasers that require one session AND on gentler lasers that require more sessions to obtain the same results. Thanks a lot

A: Lasers for eyelid wrinkles

To answer your question, there is really not one single laser that is best for a single area but there are lasers that are more effective for addressing certain conditions such as wrinkling, excess oil, redness, etc. 

For lines around the eyes, I use the Lumenis Encore Fractional CO2 laser.  Because the skin around the eyes is so delicate, I often treat twice just to be safe but am very pleased with the results so far. 

My recommendation for you is to not only look at the best laser but also focus on who is performing your treatment.  Almost anyone can buy a laser but there are a lot of practitioners out there who have little to no experience using them.  And given the delicate nature of the tissue around your eyes, this could be disasterous.

I hope this helps!

Is Laser Resurfacing After Juvederm Safe?

Six months ago I had a small amount of Juvederm filler used on a scar on my chin. There was an improvement, but I would like to have CO2 laser resurfacing to try for more improvement. Is this safe considering the somewhat recent use of Juvederm?

A: The CO2 laser treatment should not impact the Juvederm that was injected into the skin.

There should be no problem adverse effects from the CO2 laser following Juvederm® injection, especially after six months. Juvederm is typically injected into the deep dermis or sub-dermal layers of the skin. CO2 laser will not be penetrating to this depth.

Thanks for your question. I hope this helps!
