Here's a bit more on laser wrinkle removal. Specifically, laser skin treatment can be used effectively for lines around eyes and dark circles under the eyes.
Lines Around The Eyes
The "crow's feet" around the eyes are wrinkles caused by muscle contractions during facial expressions such as squinting or frowning, as well as slack, poor quality skin around the eyes. The excessive muscle tone can be smoothed out by Botox. However, if there is too much excess skin, Botox treatment is not the best solution. Laser skin treatment, by way of microscopic accurate incisions of the skin under the eyes, is the better option in this instance to tighten and rejuvenate the skin.
Not only will it provide laser skin tightening, it is likely to act like a mini upper eye lift.
Usually only one laser skin rejuvenation treatment is needed and the recovery period is short. There will be some swelling the next day however this will be gone within a week.
Dark Circles Under The Eyes
Dark circles under the eyes may be racial in origin, and is a common complaint particularly from people with olive or dark skin. Dark circles may also be associated with drug use or insufficient sleep.
The cause of dark circles is due to either pigmentation or amassed bluish blood vessels. Creams and lotions cannot remove dark circles alone. Surgical laser treatment remains the most effective solution. Laser skin treatment is used to remove the pigmentation and blood vessels, followed by the use of anti-pigmentation cream. It is a delicate operation requiring microscopic surgery and a lot of care. However, this laser skin rejuvenation procedure is a proven successful anti aging treatment.
The procedure should take less than 2 hours and some swelling can be expected. Pigmentation may initially get darker and will then flake off. Recovery usually takes 3 to 7 days.

Laser Wrinkle Removal
As a part of the multibillion dollar skin care industry, technology is advancing to assist in the combat against the signs of aging.
One such area of technology is laser skin treatment, or laser resurfacing. Lasers are being used to remove wrinkles, lines and unsightly scars from people's skin. Laser wrinkle removal rejuvenates by removal of the old skin, stimulation of collagen regeneration to support the skin, thus minimising wrinkles and by tightening of old loose skin.
Originally, laser resurfacing worked by using the high-intensity light pulses to remove the entire layer of the top skin. Unfortunately, recover time for this procedure was long, frequently painful and sometimes required the treated area to be bandaged. Swelling and redness could remain for weeks.
The latest laser technology, however, reduces the recovery time by half. And the end result is arguably the same, if not better. Laser resurfacing can treat acne scars, chicken pox scars, surgical scars, pigmentation, freckles, birthmarks, reduction of fine wrinkles, damaged capillaries and refinement of pores.
This latest laser skin treatment technique works by making thousands of tiny holes, each smaller than the thickness of a hair. In so doing, the skin heals in 1 to 2 days, rather than weeks. There will still be swelling and redness, just like the early procedure. However, patients can wear covering make-up as soon as peeling is completed in 3 to 7 days. While this is a much shorter recovery period than before, the length of time is related to the skin ailment that is being treated. For example, a straight forward skin rejuvenation procedure may take only 3 to 4 days to recover, while laser skin treatment of acne scars may take 5 to 7 days.
The revitalized skin will continue to improve for 6 to 12 months.
