I was wondering if I should get Ultherapy or Fraxel for tightening under the eye and minimizing crows feet when smiling. I am looking for low downtime so the fraxel treatments will be spreaded out over 6 or 8 months and I also have African American skin so which would be better. I dont want to miss any days of work. Thanks

Answer: Ultherapy and Fraxes I would be very hesitant to do Fraxel if you have a darker skin type! A picture would really help out here also, as I have nothing to base my answer on, and the answer is a complex one. Fraxel CAN work well for what you're describing, but Ultherapy can also work. It depends on other factors. Based on your skin type, I'd go with Ultherapy, but you really need to see a PS and figure this out first. RealSelf can be helpful, but it is not always the most effective way to get your answer.

Answer: Eye Rejuvenation Hi and thank you for your question! Ultherapy is great for lifting the eye and brow area. We find it helps to open the eye and relive some of the heaviness that some patients start to see in this area. You will also see improvements in the crows feet and the skin around the eye. We use the 1.5mm transducer on everyone to allow for the superficial stimulation of collagen that is very helpful in this area. For lines and wrinkles around the eyes, especially close to the lower the lower eye lid, we also like to use Venus Viva. This is fractional radiofrequency, so you can safely treat close to the eye. This is also safe for all skin types. Best, Dr. Grant Stevens
