Will Fraxel Laser Give Me Any Relief from Eye Deep Wrinkles? Is my only hope to use an injectable filler for deep wrinkles, or is there a type of laser that can penetrate noticeable creases and lines around my eyes?

A: Fraxel, eyelid wrinkles, lasers and peels

When one uses any kind of laser, it, the laser, doesn't automatically know what to do. The doctor doing the procedure has to decide on what settings and how many passes to use. There are many variables in addition to the technical skill involved. The dual Fraxel laser is on the low side for getting wrinkle reduction. Exquisite care must be used to avoid injury to the eye itself when treating wrinkles on the lids. A fractionated CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser is one step up (made by many companies) and then there is the fully ablative CO2 laser, all of which have been shown to be effective; the stronger the laser, the better the results in most cases, but the longer the recovery. The regular Fraxel requires a series of sessions, whereas fractional and full CO2 can be done in one session. Chemical peels can also be done and vary in strength and results depending on the chemicals used, their concentration and the skill of the doctor.
