Hi, I have many small wrinkles and fine lines under my eyes, that are visible even without smiling, and gets worse with make up. No sagging of skin but general creepiness and wrinkly texture in under eye area. I do botox, but it does not help much. I tried one round of pico laser, did nothing for under eye wrinkes. What can be done for wrinkles and creepiness in this area and how can I get read of these wrinkles? Which treatment is more effective! Thank you.

Answer: Undereye Rejuvenation Dear HappyDaneSana,Thank you for providing a photo. There are quite a few procedures that you could try to help tighten the skin and improve the overall texture under your eyes. Which procedure is best depends on your lifestyle and the amount of downtime you are up for. The non-surgical treatment which would provide the greatest improvement would be a CO2 laser. However, this fully ablative laser does come with some downtime (7-10 days) and does tend to give your skin a pink hue for anywhere from 1-6 months. Though it is an easy fix with makeup, some of my patients prefer to do something with less downtime. One step below the CO2 would be a fractionated CO2. This laser is partially ablative, meaning it leaves some of healthy skin intact. This is a good option for patients down for some downtime but not as much as the CO2. You will still get nice results, especially when done in a series of 3 or more sessions. The initial downtime is about 5-7 days with a pink hue that can last for a couple weeks to a month. Even less invasive than a fractionated CO2 will be the Potenza. This new RF microneedling system is quickly becoming a personal favorite of mine, particularly for patients that are not ready to commit to a more ablative technology. This treatment, done as a series of 3-6, has a special infusion tip that allows us to infuse PRP and other nutrients all the way up to your waterline, further enhancing the results of the radiofrequency microneedling, building more collagen, and tightening the skin from the inside out.

Answer: Under eyes fine lines and loose skin There are many treatments for fine lines and loose skin under your eyes. You state that you had one round of Pico laser with no result; however you need at least 3 treatments with any machine to see a difference. Another treatment to consider is RF energy. It can be used without needles (such as Thermage) or with needles (such as RF Micrnoneedling).
