Question:
I have creases and smaller wrinkles below my eyes. Do laser treatments work on the thin skin beneath the eyes? I have permanent crow’s feet that I would like removed at the same time if possible.
Answer:
Laser skin resurfacing is an effective method to reduce excess and creased skin below the eyes. If the skin is excessive then a formal lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery will be required. Crow’s feet can be decreased with the use of laser resurfacing as well. However, Botox and Dysport treatments would likely be necessary to truly reduce the appearance of your crow’s feet and to prevent the crow’s feet from returning to their pre laser treatment status.
