I have loose, crepey skin under and around my eyes. It looks OK at rest, but when I smile it all scrunches up and ages me. I’m looking into getting Fraxel when I can afford the cosmetic downtime, but I’m wondering if Ultherapy would help at all. From what I understand, Ultherapy is performed just outside of my problem areas, but I’m wondering if the lax skin would get cinched up a bit if the surrounding skin were to tighten up.
Answer: Recommend doing a light CO2 to help tighten the skin and provide a more youthful look. Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Under eye wrinkles Based on your photo I would recommend a combination treatment of Ultherapy to help tighten the skin, Botox to help relax the muscles causing the crows feet wrinkles, and microneedling to help stimulate collagen in the skin. You should make an appointment with a doctor who has experience treating this type of issue.

Answer: Treatment of Crepey Skin Around and Under Eyes Thank you for your question and pictures. I don't think Ultherapy alone will adequately treat your concerns. However, a combination of Ultherapy, Laser resurfacing, Radiofrequency treatments and Botox to your crow's feet area should provide significant improvement. Make sure you see an experienced physician for an in-person consultation and examination. Best wishes.
