Fraxel is great for under the eyes, but keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes.

Thank you for your question. Thermismooth and Protege are very similar. They are both radio frequency technology. I have worked with both of them, and as it stands today, I prefer Thermismooth. It is more comfortable for the patient, it shows me your skin temperature in real time, and it has the...
