Milia can be extracted, treated with lasers or needle desiccation.  I suggest you see an expert, you likely need extractions from a well qualified aesthetician frequently.  Best, Dr. Emer.

I find that aging like spots, scars, pigmentation, wrinkles all needs a combination approach.  You will need to post photos and see a physician for a formal consultation to see what combo is best.  Along with skin care/silk peels you will do very well.  Best, Dr. Emer.

Poikiloderma  is best treated with lower wavelength intense pulsed light. Most IPL systems have a handpiece or filter for skin rejuvenation/vascular/pigment.   The Cynosure maxG system is very effective,  but many other systems will be effective as well...

Fillers, lasers, and microneedling/PRP can improve under the eye. 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.
