Active Fx and Under Eye Crinkles

hi i am an asian female 34 years old and i would like to soften the crinkles under my area. i already do botox for the crows feet, but everytime i smile, i feel like i age 10 years b/c of those crinkles. is there anything i can do for that area like chemical peel or laser resurfing? i have done microdermabrasion for the last 3 years and that doesn't help that problem. i have been using the obaji system with retin and i for the most part except for the crinkles my skin looks better than ever... my skin is sensitive so any suggestions are appreciated. thank you for your time and expertise


hi,
i would really recommend Active Fx. it is a fractionated co2 laser that came on the market very recently
i have been looking for a way to help under eye crinkles for a long time and have been really frustrated. the active fx is the only laser that i have seen that actually makes a difference for lines under the eyes. i tried fraxel, chemical peels - nothing worked.
i used the active fx on my nurse - she is a volleyball player and has extensive sun damage on her face and especially under her eyes. the results were great. she had about 4 days of redness and swelling and then she was back at work. the lines under her eyes and throughout her face were much improved and her pores were much smaller. i bought the machine after that and have been using it with great results for several months now.
the active fx laser will not damage delicate asian skin, but you have to be careful that the person operating the laser is experienced.
