Wrinkles and veins and creepy skin around eyes. Can a CO2 laser correct this? (Photo)

Question

I am 47 and don’t have wrinkles until I laugh. At the same time I have veins that will also bulge around the eyes. The lids are getting a bit crepey as well. Can a CO2 laser correct the wrinkles and crepey lids? I just wonder what will make the area around my eyes look rejuvenated and younger. I spend time in front of the camera for work and need to learn the best options .

CO2 Laser treatments can improve the majority of your under eye skin problems, however, it takes a very experienced physician/technician to laser the under eye safely with the appropriate settings. Aside from a CO2 treatment, I think your under eyes would benefit greatly from a TCA peel for overall skin tightening. Because you mentioned that your eye wrinkles worsen when you laugh, you may want to consider Botox treatments around the crows feet and bunny line regions that can prevent more lines from setting. Best, Dr. Anil Shah

For your facial architecture and skin type, I recommend CO2 laser resurfacing followed by filler, 2-3 months after laser. This will yield max results. I’d also recommend a skin care regimen that includes a growth factor serum and hyaluronic acid eye cream. Good luck!

Patients with wrinkles, veins, and crepey skin around the eyes can be treated with a variety of options. In some patients, surgical improvement is needed, but patients with mostly dynamic wrinkles such as those pictured here will often respond quite well to something very simple like Botox. Fractional CO2 laser can help to improve crepey skin, and in some cases, filler injections, fat transfer, or fat respositioning can be helpful to improve the under eye area. All of these need to be customized for each patient to achieve a good result.
Be sure to see an expert in facial aesthetic procedures to review all of the options in detail.
All the best,

Yes, Fraxel or Co2 can improve this. Keep in mind, a combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

CO2 laser can help with the wrinkles around your eyes. Botox may also be added in some places. In addition, fillers are an option, particularly along the bone under the eye, known as the orbital rim.
