Fraxel and Botox work great for eye wrinkles

Lorrie Klein, MD answers: Fraxel vs IPL for fine lines around the eyes?

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

IPL is great for red and brown discoloration but doesn't treat wrinkles.

Your best bet is using Botox and then Fraxel, the Fraxel CO2 re:pair will work better than the Fraxel re:store but either one would be beneficial.

I recommend you have a treatment with Botox around your eyes before your laser treatment and your results will be even better.

The Botox allows the new collagen forming to settle in smoother and also allows the laser to penetrate better into the deepest part of the wrinkles.
