I’m 48 years old. I get Botox for crows feet and also had filler in the apples of my cheeks. I have a history of melasma but seem to have that fairly under control. Fraxel seems to worsen my melasma so I would like to avoid that.
Answer: For fine lines under the eyes, CO2 can help tighten the skin . 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. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. Dark spots can improve with these treatments. I recommend fractional laser for incisional scars as well, especially after plastic surgery.

Answer: Fine Lines Under the Eyes There are several options to improve and rejuvenate the area around the eyes. The volume can be replaced with fillers in the tear trough area. The texture of the skin under the eye can be improved with chemical peels, lasers, or microneedling, but if these types of treatments tend to make pigment problems worse, then you may be interested in surgical options. In many cases, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can achieve beautiful results with minimal down time. This applies to both the lower eyelid and the upper eyelid areas. An in-person consultation can be very helpful to determine the best options and review them in detail.All the best,

Answer: Correcting wrinkled skin of the eyelid region I would consider performing a traditional CO2 laser. I have been using it for twenty years with excellent success in improving lines around the eyelid region. One of the beneficial side effects of the CO2 laser is actually lightening the skin of the eyelid area. The downside is a two week healing process and the skin can remain pink for several months requiring a light concealer. I would consult with a facial plastic surgeon in your area.

Answer: Improving Under Eye with Fillers (Belotero, Volbella, Restylane Silk), Fraxel, Microneedling/PRP 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
