What could be causing the lines near my nose on my upper cheek? What treatment could help minimize their appearance? (Photo)

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.

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in-person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan. It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Lines or wrinkles in the eyebrow area can occur due to various factors, including aging, repeated muscle movements, and skin quality. While it is less common to develop lines specifically in the eyebrow region, it is not unheard of, and individual variations can play a role.

Botox injections are generally used to relax the muscles and reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by muscle movement, such as frown lines between the eyebrows or crow's feet around the eyes. Botox typically does not cause wrinkles to form, but it's important to note that everyone's response to the treatment can be different.

If you have noticed the development of lines in the eyebrow area after the Botox treatment, it's best to discuss your concerns with the medical professional who administered the treatment. They can assess your specific situation and determine if there is any association between the treatment and the appearance of the lines.

Treatment options to minimize the appearance of lines in the eyebrow area can include dermal fillers, chemical peels, laser (or light therapies) or another round of Botox …

I hope this helps,
best of luck !
