Re:store is a good option

Ronald Shelton, MD answers: Fraxel for Fine Lines?

I have fine lines directly under my eyes. My doctor applied Botox to the outer eye area (where the lines were very minimal); but I still have fine lines. I've tried Fraxel under my eyes about 6 times last year, and saw a vast improvement. They still bother me though. Should I go back for more Fraxel to build more collagen? Thanks.

It is a great idea to do more Fraxel Re:store. Fraxel Re:pair can also be done, but there is more down time and risk. The latter is a more aggressive procedure. With any resurfacing, fine lines will continue to form because we can not “freeze” the muscle underneath the eyelid without causing a problem.

Dear Healthoneforlife, there are many good options for your eyelid skin as you can see from the multiple answers. Sometimes a simple pinch blepharoplasty is all that it takes to clean up some fine lines. This is done with a litle freezing and removing a small amount of skin and sutrures for 4 days.

With Warm Regards,
