My under eye area is becoming more lined, crepey, and the skin is now slightly saggy and loose. I receive Botox treatments to help when smiling, however I’m now bothered by the appearance of the area when at rest. Is Co2 laser inappropriate for a 32 year old? What other treatments/lasers can effectively address these concerns?

Answer: Improving Under Eye with Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk), Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP, Co2 Co2 or Fraxel are best for resurfacing. A combination approach will give the most improvement. Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eyes. My patients try to get non surgical treatments to avoid surgery. We use PRP and stem cells there often. I suggest consulting with an expert to develop a treatment plan best suited for your short and long term goals. Best, Dr. Emer

Answer: CO2 laser for under eyes I think CO2 is a great option for this area especially since a lot of the other things, such as botox and filler, are not ideal for those lines in the lower eye lid. The younger you are when you get treatments, in general, the better results you will ultimately get. When you are young and healthy you are going to have a more vibrant and vigorous collagen production response. With the CO2 you will have some down time but if those lines bug you it would be worth it. Best of luck! Dr. Amy
