Felix Kuo, MD answers: Fraxel vs IPL for fine lines around the eyes?

Is IPL or Fraxel laser better for reducing fine lines and eye wrinkles?

Crow's feet lines can be significantly improved with Botox since these are movement related wrinkles.

IPL is used primarily for pigmentation (brown lentigenes) and telangiectasia and redness. IPL will not improve wrinkles.

Fraxel may help with infraorbital crepiness (mild lines and skin laxity inferior to the lower eyelid), however, multiple treatments are necessary.
