What's the best treatment for fine lines and thin wrinkles? Mostly under eyes and cheeks seen when skin is pulled (smiling). From sun damage and aging. Would Botox work or more like a skin cream?
Answer: Wrinkles around eyes I would recommend a combination treatment. The Botox would help with wrinkles around the eyes (crow's feet) especially when you smile. The wrinkles in the cheeks would need a tightening treatment to increase the collagen to soften the lines. There are many options including lasers, RF devices, and microneedling, and PRP. Because you have some age spots, I would recommend a laser (I use Fraxel) which would soften the wrinkles and get rid of the age spots.

Answer: Fine lines and wrinkles can be treated by doing laser treatments such as Clear & Brilliant. 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: Treatments for Facial Wrinkles and Sun Damage Thank you for sharing your question. Botox is an excellent way to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes. This treatment involves several small injections around eyes to lines that are commonly referred to as “crow’s feet”. If you are more concerned about sun damaged and aging skin, I highly recommend a laser resurfacing treatment with a machine such as the Sciton Halo. This laser is a hybrid, fractionated laser that works to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, pore size, and even reverses sun damage. This is one of the most popular treatments in my practice because there is very little down time associated with the procedure and the results are fantastic. Many of my patients repeat this treatment once a year as skin maintenance. I recommend consulting with a board-certified specialist who has experience with both Botox injections and the Sciton Halo Laser.

Answer: Botox for Crow's Feet Botox works well to relax crow's feet lines and rejuvenate the eye area. This can be used in combination with skin resurfacing for best results. There are a variety of options for skin resurfacing and tightening. I typically recommend Venus Viva treatments, a fractional CO2 laser treatment, micro-needling or peri-orbital TCA peel.

Answer: Botox for crow's feet These lines are natural expression lines and can be easily rectified with Botox. Botox will inhibit the expression in what we call the 'crow's feet' so that these lines will be temporarily diminished. Results last from 3-6 months. For a more natural approach and to address signs of sun damage you could try the 111SKIN Celestial black diamond eye cream which will help to reduce the fine lines around the area as well as puffiness and dark circles.
