I have (although ugly) photos here for you to look at the progressively worsening under eye wrinkles I'm getting. I'm 21, they age me almost five years in person! The doctor I contacted said she prefers a sciton erbium laser and wants to do a 10 micron peel, with the possibility of doing more than one treatment going forward. Will this fix it?
