Fraxel Restore or Repair for Under Eye Burn?
asked 2 years ago by Peter Mccaw in uk
Latest answer by Joel Schlessinger, MD
Question viewed 392 times
Tags: under eyes, burn
The area is also particularly sensitive as its under the eyes. The burns are only mild. Would I be better off with the less invasive Fraxel Restore, or should I try Fraxel Repair? How long to wait before treating the burn? Also, should the laser be tested on the skin first?

You may do better with topical treatments. Lasers aren't always the be all and end all!

Fraxel restore or repair for Under Eye Lid Burn
Hi Alexander,
Your treating physician after examining you should decide whether Fraxel restore or repair would be best for you. You may be treated after 3 to 4 weeks as long as the burn scar is healed (not open).
Unless you are dark skinned, I would not think that it is necessary to test spot your skin first.
These are all decisions that should be made with your treating physician.
I hope that you achieve maximum improvement.
Dr. P
