Does a Phenol Peel work under eyes for crepey skin? (photos)

Question

I have done a lower eye pinch at this time and still have inner lower eye creepiness. I have also done a CO2 laser, 6 intracel lasers and PRP. Still no results. I am only 42 but I think its hereditary. Dysport helps a little

Raffy Karamanoukian, MD, FACS · Answer

Fractional CO2 laser is an excellent tool for skin rejuvenation in our center in Santa Monica. We use the fractional multi-depth ablative approach to help resurface the skin, recontour acne scars, improve incisional plastic surgery scars, and reduce surface irregularities from skin tone to dark pigmentation. Our approach utilizes a multi-depth approach that targets melanocytes in the epidermis and collagen fibroblasts in the dermis. This approach can be combined with a TCA Peel in a process known as a sapphire peel. Fractional laser is excellent for acne scars and contour scars in the skin. Patients are advised to undergo skin protocols with Melarase creams before and after treatment to help reduce pigmentation. Melarase AM, Melarase PM, and Melapads can seriously improve surface sun damage and UV related pigmentation. After the laser, we expect redness for a few weeks as the skin improves. PRP and Hydrafacial enzyme facials can further improve skin quality after fractional co2.

Most likely it will give you a great improvement. I have many patients who fly in from the Scottsdale/Phoenix area to consult for all plastic surgery needs.  I have been working with phenol for under eye treatments for many many years.  Working with phenol has to be done properly because it is such a powerful chemical.   I would be happy to consult with you!

Since you have excess crepey skin of the lower eyelids I have learned to do a pinch blepharoplasty (remove skin only) and combine this with a croton oil (new name for phenol peel).  These two procedures combined work very well together and is very safe in my hands.  Best wishes.
