A third option should perhaps be to do nothing at all

Bruce Barach, MD answers: Fraxel Repair even when skin is in good condition?

Does Fraxel Repair work better than Fraxel Restore even if skin in good condition now? I understand the differences in Restore and Repair but my two doctors have different opinions. One feels that I should just do Restore or a blend of Restore + Repair around the eyes since my skin is in good condition with only fine lines. The other feels that if I can afford the downtime that I might as well get Repair all over. I had Repair post-orbital 2 years ago with good but not dramatic results.

though you can't always tell from such a photo, i tend to agree with dr lupo that you probably don't need any laser treatments (restore and/or repair) at this time.
