Answer: Fraxel Restore Laser

In my 20 years of practicing dermatology, this population of my patients, including Southeast Asians (Fitz IV or V), Southwest Asians (Fitz V), and Eastern Asians (Fitz  IV), often expressed skepticism and concerns regarding safety and effectiveness of laser treatments in general. This patient was kind enough to give us consent to display her successful outcome from her acne scars so that others can benefit. The proof is here that Fraxel Restore Laser is safe and efficacious for you.

Answer: Virtue RF (microneedling with radiofrequency)

This procedure can be an alternative to under eye filler. This device promotes natural collagen production by using thermal energy(heat) with the mechanical tool of microneedling(36 needles). The added benefit is that it resurfaces the area, treating hyperpigmentation. This procedure is done pain-free. The outcome is plumpness, tightening, and toning in the hollow periorbital area or tear trough, which sometimes can present in the mid-30s and progressively get worse. There is absolutely no down time with our aftercare protocol.
