There are many different types of laser resurfacing technologies depending on your actual individual problem, goal, length of downtime desired or not desired, budget. This can be decided with your consulting provider.

Yes, Fractional resurfacing (Fraxel) would be safe around the eyes. That is what is so beautiful about this procedure. If you only want to treat the skin around the eyes; you can.

Fractional resurfacing is a wonderful tool for wrinkle reduction, tightening, and reducing the "crepey" appearance of skin under the eye. Make sure your practitioner is experienced in the use of lasers, especially resurfacing techniques. Protective laser eye shields will need to be placed under the lids in order to avoid damage to the eye itself. If you have a history of prior resurfacing or eyelid surgery in this area, you may not be a candidate.
