Fraxel Repair Results on Smoker's Lines and Upper Eyelid?

I had Fraxel Repair for lines, skin texture, some acne scarring, and skin tightening effects. I was especially hoping to have the smoker's lines around my upper lip improved and upper eyelids to tighten. I am not sure yet if I will get what I hoped for in respect to the lip and eyelids. If I am still seeing some lines around my upper lip does it mean that they will probably not go away after the treatment, or do I need to wait longer to see? Will my eyelids also tighten more as time progresses?

Fraxel Repair for Smoker's lines

Smoker's lines are some of the most difficult lines to treat. I hope that you have stopped smoking, or it will be even harder. It can take 6 months to see the full results from a Repair treatment. It can take more than one for optimum results. If an aggressive treatment is done there is a risk of loss of pigmentation.
