Your cornea should be well healed after one year so that the corneal shields used during the treatment would be safe. To be absolutely sure, check with your Lasik surgeon. Good luck and be well.

Fraxel laser treatments are safe to use in the area under the eyes

Fraxel laser treatments are safe to use in the area under the eyes. However, eye shields should be used to protect the eyeball during the procedure. It should not have any impact on the juvederm you received a month earlier or the laser eye surgery you had.
