Laser resurfacing or non-surgical procedures to tighten under eye area?

The most effective laser for tightening the skin around the eyes is the Active and Deep FX Ultrapulse CO2 laser. There are many different fractionated lasers that may help. But the Ultrapulse CO2 appears to be the most effective with the least pain and down-time. Physician experience is also important,... more

I agree with all that Dr Fincher says (see his comments below). Laser resurfacing will tighten the lid skin and address crepey skin and fine lines and wrinkles.  Hyaluronic acid soft tissue filler for the sunken area under the eye is a nice easy procedure.  All of these can and should be done under... more

 There are several techniques that are effective for the lower eyelids depending upon what needs to be altered.   Laser resurfacing is great for tightening loose skin, removing pigmentation and sun damage and for smoothing wrinkles.  For bulging fat pads, surgery is still the best treatment and... more

Hi, Laser resurfacing, chemical peel, and injectable fillers all are minimally invasive procedures that will help improve the appearance of your lower eyelids.  Your lower eyelid seems to have a reasonably large tear trough (groove between inner portion of lower eyelid and cheek), which can be treated... more

This should be possible , however only after a skilled surgeon can evaluate your lower lids. You have to make sure there is no laxity that needs to be surgically tightened, prior to laser. I use the Pearl laser for its unique wavelength, but others could be used as well. Down time also varies with each device... more

 The photo was somewhat blurry. If you have loose skin, a small skin pinch blepharoplasty can be helpful.  Laser may tighten fine lines .  

The lower eyes are a tricky area.  If you just remove fat, hollowness ensues.  If you remove skin in order to tighten the area, the corners of the eye pull down.  This in turn causes a rounding of the eye or a distored eye shape. Yet the lower eyelid has both hollowness and bulges as fat... more

 Laser resurfacing of the lower lids is very effective at tightening the skin and treating fine wrinkles.  You may also consider a TCA peel which can achieve a similar effect and possibly for less cost.  Good luck.

The appearance of your lower eyelid is very typical but very difficult to address using only laser. Your lower eyelid had small compartments of fat (3 compartments) which are held in place by a fibrous structure. In youth, the fat is not visible but as we age the fibrous support system weakes and the fat... more

I actually prefer phenol chemical peeling under the eyes and actually peel more than 50% of my lower blepharoplasty patients.  Generally this is done 2-3 months following the surgery.  At times we actually combine the peel with a transconjunctival blepharoplasty (internal incision only) while the... more
