What’s Best for Under Eye Wrinkles: Lasers, Radio Frequency, or Surgery?
Understanding the skin under the eyes is critical to the success of any treatment plan for under
eye wrinkles.
The skin under the eyes is less than half a mm in thickness so application of any heat
based therapy needs to be customized.
The goal of treatment is to increase the volume of collagen in the skin.
Collagen generation can be accomplished by careful thermal stimulation.
In our practice, we routinely use the fractional CO laser for lighter skin patients and Pellevé
radiofrequency for darker skin patients.
in addition to thermal collagen stimulation, we also employ regenerative medicine technology
through the application of platelet-rich plasma or PRP which is derived from your own blood
and is a concentration of the wound healing factors which stimulate collagen formation.
Understanding the basis for wrinkles under the eyes and developing the best strategy
for you is the key to getting the results you want.
