I have fine lines directly under my eyes. My doctor applied Botox to the outer eye area (where the lines were very minimal); but I still have fine lines. I've tried Fraxel under my eyes about 6 times last year, and saw a vast improvement. They still bother me though. Should I go back for more Fraxel to build more collagen? Thanks.

Answer: Fraxel works for fine lines and wrinkles
Fraxel works for fine lines and wrinkles but if your wrinkles are right under your lashes they aren't reached by the laser. These types of wrinkles are best treated by lower eyelid lift. Lower lid blepharoplasty is a surgery that involves bruising and a week or two of recovery, longer for all of the swelling to down. If surgery isn't for you, continuing to do the Fraxel is fine. You have a lot of experience with it and should know what to expect.

Answer: The more laser treatments, the better the results
The more treatments you get the better. Remember, the more aggressive the treatment (ablative CO2 laser is more aggressive than non-ablative lasers) the better the results. If you want almost no downtime it will take many treatments to get the same results as a ablative laser which will have 1-2 weeks of redness and healing.
