Under eye fine lines after retinol

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. 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.

I encourage you to begin by visiting with an experienced aesthetician at a med spa. The product you used may have been too strong for you. After an evaluation of your skin your aesthetician will recommend a product regimen for you. It is important for you to protect your skin from sun exposure and to use sunscreen every day.

Be patient stop using the Retin A ; Get prescription for Locoid from your Dermatologist. Relax and know that your skin is much thinner and the eye and it can not tolerate the same as other areas. Less is more in this area.
Best of luck!
