I have tried very expensive creams I use 2-3 times a day and none of them work. What can I do?
Answer: Address crepey skin and wrinkles by doing Clear & brilliant laser as well as chemical peels 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.

Answer: What to do with crepey wrinkled skin under the eyes? The eyelid skin is very thin, moves a lot, and almost always develops fine wrinkles and textural changes as we age. Sometimes this begins very early in life. As an adult, then this becomes bothersome, and daily topicals have not helped (tretinoin, hydration, etc), then it may be time to consider 'resurfacing'. This is done with a chemical pee solution or one of the ablative lasers. Usually an office procedure, this is somewhat uncomfortable for a brief time, one looks worse for a few days, and new skin then grows in place of the (wounded) lasered or peeled skin. The results can be long lasting. But these procedures should only be performed on the right patients by a well trained physician who specializes in this sort of skin rejuvenation.

Answer: UnderEye Wrinkles Undereye wrinkles need to be treated with a combination approach of skin care, botox, lasers and/or radiofrequency. You can get amazing results, but you should see a cosmetic dermatologist with experience in treating this area which is sensitive and requires a meticulous provider to limit any complications.

Answer: Wrinkles and creases under the eyes and crow's feet ... Buffalo Niagara, NY It is unfortunate that you are 'intolerant' of Botox and Dysport. I really don't know what that means ... but .. Sometimes 2-3 units of Botox is used in the lower eyelid to treat hypertrophy of the orbicularis muscle. In essence, the orbiculris muscles of the lower eyelid cause "crinkling lines" and are responsible for holding the lower eyelid against the eye. When you smile, your cheeks are raised and crinkle the skin under the eyelid. I hope this explains why this occurs.The key is to use a judiciously small amount of Botox to relax the orbicularis muscle but not weaken it - weakening this muscle will result in sagging of the lower eyelid margin. You would not like that effect either.The alternatives are laser resurfacing or Ultherapy as one can treat the area under the eye but not right up to the lower lid with the new 1.5 mm Ultherapy transducers. The treatment needs to be kept outside of the orbit of the eye. The full effect will take 3-6 months from the time of treatment. Read the Ultherapy book provided on the link below under the ebooks section.Consider Ultherapy and thank you for providing a picture.
