My skin looks pretty good except under my eyes- I have crepey loose skin directly under my eyes when I smile. (Crows feet are minimal.) I've read that filler won't help. Can anything be done?”

Answer: Periorbital rejuvenation: treatment of crepiness and loose skin The specific treatments depend on the degree of laxity and whether you are prepared to consider surgery. I would introduce retinol into your skin care regardless of the specific approach. My favorite cosmeceutical lines, Environ and ZO, have specific eye products which will be useful. Sun protection is important: use sun glasses when directly exposed. Where there is significant loose skin, blepharoplasty ought to be considered.To address the issue of thin, crepe-like skin, treatment with the CO2 laser (Madonna Lift) produces good results (if there are no contra indications). The down time associated with this treatment is relatively short and a series of 3-6 monthly treatment should produce visible improvements.

Answer: Options for excess lower eyelid skin Thanks for sharing your question. For redundant skin to the lower eyelid you have a few options to help tighten this area. First a fractional CO2 laser will help treat this loose skin. Similarly a medium depth chemical peel such as Jessner's /TCA 35% will also work. Surgically a skin pinch or skin only lower lid blepharoplasty will help to remove the excess skin directly. Consult with a few board certified surgeons and dermatolgists to review your options.

Answer: Procedures to Correct Under Eye Skin Texture If your only issue is the skin texture that you are seeing under the eyes I would look into a resurfacing. This can be done with a Laser or a Chemical. In this procedure we are removing skin and letting new skin grow into the area, when we do this we get a collagen response from the body that will help to tighten the skin. This is a procedure that we do often at our practice and see great results. If there are multiple issues happening other than just the texture of the skin a combination of procedures will give you the best result. These treatments could include filler, fat grafting, or a lower blepharoplasty.
