Can lasers help improve tear troughs and indents under my eyes? If so, which lasers?

December 8, 2013
Asked By:pastelTP in East Rochester, NY

I am 22 years old and have bad indents under my eyes (not bags). From doing a little reading on this site, I am aware that fillers are recommended most often for treating tear troughs. However, I would feel more comfortable with a laser treatment since I have had positive experiences with lasers in the past. Are there any lasers available to reduce the indents under my eyes?
