Depends on the lines.
Laser resurfacing is the more aggressive option, with a bit longer recovery, but better outcome. Erbium/CO2 laser [combination] is great around the eyes, and much safer than pure CO2, though the fractional lasers have improved safety profile around the eyes.
A chemical peel is great for less deep wrinkles/lines. There are many different options, but the TCA [trichloroacetic acid] in different strengths has been the "go to" one for years.

Eyelid rejuvenation with local anesthesia
Significant improvement in the upper eyelid is achieved under local anesthesia without having to go "under the knife". An upper lid blepharoplasty is one of the most common procedures performed and is well accepted by patients and surgeons alike. A small incision with a fine scalpel blade is more precise than lasers which produces extra thermal damage which can actually take longer to heal.

Improving Fine Lines Upper and lower Eyelids
The fine lines of the upper and lower eyelids can be improved significantly by either a chemical peel or laser. This is a very popular procedure in our office and we prefer a TCA Obagi Blue Peel.

Our patients love this procedure.

Upper Eye Fine Lines
Depending on the depth and extent of the "upper eye fine lines" resurfacing with laser or chemical might work. If these are dynamic lines that increase when one smiles or squints, Botox might offer temporary improvement. A photograph would be helpful for me to give a better answer.

Upper eyelid fine lines
I have seen a few good results in carefully selected patients with laser therapy, but this won't work in everyone and especially if there is much laxity to the skin. It simply won't tighten up enough to make a difference. A conservative upper eyelid blepharoplasty can tighten the skin and soften these lines. Often, people end up spending an equivalent amount of money to try and treat these problems with various different treatments when surgery would correct the...
