It truly depends upon how fine those lines are and where they are located. If you are speaking of Crow's feet at the outside corner of the eyes, these can be treated by Botox Cosmetic.

If they are deeper wrinkles, fractional resurfacing will help to further reduce them. If you are referring to the lines on the lower lids that cause crepiness to the skin, the same regimen may work.

Many clients, though, may need traditional resurfacing to this skin as well. If Botox is used prior, there are some clients who can obtain nice tightening from the inclusion of Thermage around the eyelids.

The majority of patients that I treat benefit from a combination of Botox and Mixto fractional laser resurfacing. This treatment takes approximately 15 minutes time and is performed with or without topical (gel) anesthesia.

I hope this helps.

Intense Pulsed Light combines light and heat energies to significantly improve complexion flaws and also to remove unwanted hair. Pulses of these combined energies are applied to the skin by a hand-piece, delivering treatment at different depths within the skin with minimal discomfort and recovery time or restrictions.

IPL is performed to:

* Remove unwanted hair long-term

* Improve skin firmness, tone & texture

* Fade dark spots & visible sun damage

* Control rosacea and acne outbreaks

* Conceal micro-spider veins

Several treatments are recommended for significant and longer-lasting improvements, and follow-up will likely be needed periodically to maintain any changes. IPL reduces the redness and flushed appearance associated with rosacea. Light and heat energies are also able to reduce the appearance of thin spider veins. These energies are absorbed by the abnormal dilated vessels or uneven pigment, causing natural healing to occur.

Following a series of treatments, rosacea patients will likely reduce - or eliminate - the need for topical creams and oral medication - and patients with spider veins or broken capillaries will surely enjoy no longer being self-concious.

Exposure to the sun over time will likely cause dark spots and uneven pigment to occur. Similar to treating the rosiness of rosacea, photo therapies target dark pigment and cause these cells to break down - which allows the skin’s natural pigment color to return IPL can be use to reduce hair growth.

Several treatments may be needed, depending upon the hair color, location, and growth cycle. Patients are able to resume normal activities immediately after treatment and are not likely to experience side effects other than mild redness or swelling at the treatment site.
