Usually I don’t like “before & after” photos (everyone’s skin is different, everyone reacts differently to treatments etc) but I am posting this one (with the patient’s consent) because it’s a good reminder that in an ageing skin, relying on injectables alone is often inadequate.
This lady in her mid 40s has been getting regular botox around her eyes but the quality of her skin under her eyes was declining, and there are a few options for resurfacing but in this lady’s case, we did some fractional carbon dioxide laser resurfacing.
It is virtually pain free, with topical numbing cream and nerve block injections, quick (10 minutes) and recovers in 4-5 days.
