Hello, I have some sagging around eyes upper and lower and a dermatologist recommended a full ablative ERB-YAG around eyes. He's has many years of experience. I think it will help but concerned about permanent color change between treated and untreated skin. Don"t I need the rest of my face treated at least partially? He said it will turn the skin back to whatever color it was genetically programmed to be but I'm not sure. I tan easily but can burn. I am 55 yo male. thank you for your help.

Answer: Treatment around the eyes Thank you for the question. It’s possible for laser of any kind to leave demarcation around the area treated. Even if it were slight, the difference between treated skin and untreated skin may be noticeable enough that it draws comments. When it comes to resurfacing, I suggest to always treat the entire face. That way your complexion is even throughout. Consider microneedling as well.If your eyelids have excess skin, or are starting to sag, you may benefit from a consultation with a plastic surgeon to determine if surgically treating your eyelids is the appropriate step. You should consider your eyelids as just one part of an overall facial rejuvenation plan. I wish you all the best.

Answer: Erbium laser around eyes--Co2, Fraxel, microneedling/prp Erbium is a safe alternative to Co2 or Fraxel which are best for resurfacing. I always combine lasers with microneedling/prp to get the best outcomes. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
