Best laser for large pores and under eye wrinkles?

Question

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Our treatments use combination therapy to improve the epidermis and dermis for most deep scars. The options available for acne scars depend on the character of your scars, in terms of topography and contour. We see atrophic and hypertrophic acne scars, as well as scars that have hypo and hyperpigmentation. We begin each scar evaluation with an assessment of scar quality and subtype. Our main concern is rebuilding collagen and that is why we use a HIDEF protocol that includes combination therapy. Morpheus 8, scar subcision, fibrous release, fractional laser, CO2 laser, Thulium laser, PDL Vbeam laser, and fractional resurfacing can be used in addition to TCA Cross and chemical peels to further improve skin. Patients should start Melarase AM and Melarase PM for active hyperpigmentation. Always begin with a consultation to decide whether early subcision should be started.

There are several laser choices to help with your skin texture and pores. One of our favourite devices is fractionated non-ablative resurfacing (Fraxel Laser) which is usually done as a series of treatments, has a relatively quick downtime of 2-3 days and can improve the overall quality of the skin. Furthermore this laser can be used on darker skin, another important factor.If someone does not have any recovery time (downtime) we use picosecond rejuvenation laser that can improve your skin texture similar to fraxel ,although more treatments are needed.Lastly, if someone requests the most dramatic improvement with the least number of treatments, we use fractional CO2 laser resurfacing. Although this treatment can lead to incredible results, you will have much longer downtime (on average 1 week)  - this is the most specialized procedure and should only be performed by an expert physician to avoid complications.

The best lasers for these issues would be fractionated erbium or CO2 lasers.  The results will be dependent on how deep you wish to go with the treatment and the machine/operator.  The deeper and more passes you allow will yield better results.  Consult your physician about your plan.

Jessica Kulak, MD · Answer

An ablative laser such as fractionated CO2 or Erbium is the best treatment for smoothing undereye wrinkles and improving skin texture.  This type of treatment removes the top layer of your skin and stimulates healthier skin that is smoother and tighter and stimulates more collagen. While this is a very effective treatment it has more risks and is not a good choice for darker skin types.  Other options to improve the pores and skin quality are a few sessions of microneedling with or without PRP, light peels and good skin care.
