The Fraxel will take years away from the appearance of skin around the eyes. It does so by reducing lines and wrinkles, fading discoloration and age spots, and in addition it helps to tighten the skin in this area. The skin around the eye has a slowed down aging process after treatments, it does not worsen the skin in the area or accelerate aging, it does the opposite.

Fractional laser is an amazing and highly effective treatment in our office. We use the laser treatment to help with acne scars, large pores, fine wrinkles, tissue collagen loss, scars, sebaceous hyperplasia, active acne, and for brightening dark pigmentation. Although there are very strong fractional lasers such as CO2 laser, we use lighter treatments for corrective skincare and maintenance of results. Our Thulium fractional laser, clear and brilliant laser, and Ultra Thulium laser are excellent options in our clinic. We also perform CO2 fractional and erbium depending on skin tone and tolerance for downtime. Patients do have to use a Melarase cream before and after treatment to help further reduce pigmentation after laser. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Actually, the complete reverse is true.  The newer generation of fractional lasers such as 1540, promote collagen re-organization and rebuilding.  Long term, this promotes less aging and continued retardation of the normal processes of skin thinning in this area.

Fraxel is idea for the area under the eyes and face.  Fraxel will remove dark spots, sun spots, fine lines, and areas of discoloration, and improve skin tone and texture.  It is important to stay out of the sun after Fraxel.  Please consult a board certified dermatologist who is an expert in Fraxel for the best cosmetic results.
