CONTACT NOW Answer: Recommend doing clear & brilliant laser for fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Our office has many different treatments for scars depending on the depth of atrophy or hypertrophy. Scars require a combination approach using our HI DEF protocol which uses a combination of lasers, topical scar modulation, and RF treatments to pixelate scars, improve contour, reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the visibility of the scars so that they are no longer visible in ambient light. Everyone has a unique pattern of scarring and we employ our HIDEF technique to improve texture, color, contour, and topography. We often use a combination of treatments that begin with a careful examination to examine the micro texturing of the acne scars. Atrophic scars and indented scars can benefit from injectable fillers such as Radiesse, Sculptra, and Restylane with or without subcision to remove tethered scars and atrophic depression. Hyper-redness in scars can be improved with V beam laser, Excel V, BBL, IPL, and Venus RF to improve the redness and reduce the visibility of deep scars. Fractional Thulium laser and clear & brilliant can also reduce the inflammation and redness of the scar when combined with topical therapy. Fractional lasers such as Fraxel, erbium, and CO2 laser can be combined with radio frequency and also fractional RF to improve textual issues and microtopography. Subcision and TCA cross are also used for deep ice pick scars and narrow valley scars in order to improve the micro texture. Above all, our combination approach with our clinical nurses and board-certified plastic surgeons can improve the quality of your skin by using at home Melarase creams combined with PRP treatments in our office to improve your skin quality and tone. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced team of experts in order to reduce your scarring. Finally, hyperpigmentation of scars can be improved with at-home Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads to help reduce active PIH and melanin deposition. Best, Dr. Karamanoukian Realself100 Surgeon

Answer: IPL is not the best choice for wrinkles IPL is a great treatment for reducing brown and red spots and evening skin tone, but it is not generally used to treat wrinkles. Fraxel can work well for deep wrinkles around the eyes, although depending on your individual condition, Botox may be a better option. I suggest visiting a board-certified dermatologist with experience treating wrinkles for an in-person consultation to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Answer: Fraxel is Resurfacing and IPL is Light Based for Skin Tone Fraxel and IPL are two very different treatments for skin concerns. Fraxel is an agressive exfoliating and resurfacing treatment. IPL is a light based treatment that is going to treat light and dark sun damage and facial vessels. Vessels can be closed to minimize overall redness in the skin through the cheeks, nose, and chin. Pigment will darken and then slough off on its own over a 2 week time period. Fraxel is a laser that is invading the skin to lift. Fine lines and wrinkles are deeper lesions of the skin and can significantly be softened by Fraxel resurfacing. Good Luck!

Answer: Fraxel vs IPL for crows feet
Certainly, Fraxel is better for this than IPL. But Botox/Dysport in this area is considerably better than both.
