Can fraxel be effective for darkness under the eye?

February 16, 2015
Asked By:9527 in Atlanta, GA

I consulted 2 PS, One said my darkness under the eye is because of wrinkles which will respond to fraxel or plasma... another one said fraxel won't help because the reason is not wrinkes but rather thin skin.. not quite sure I understood when fraxel is helpful for darkness under the eye and when not? what are the alternative therapies in that case?
