Between Thermage and HIFU, which is suitable to resolve crow's feet around the corners of my eyes?

Doctor's Answers 2

Hi,

Crow's feet around the corners of the eyes are dynamic wrinkles caused by the ring muscles encircling the eye (obicularis oculi). Hence, the best treatment (and the first-line treatment) is actually botox instead of HIFU or Thermage.

Nevertheless, both HIFU and Thermage may give additional skin textural improvement and augment the results of botox in the treatment of crow's feet.

How can I treat my red and inflamed inner eyelids before LASIK?

there are several possibilities for the problem you mention ie redness and slight swelling just on the inner part of the under surface of the eyelids. It may be nothing pathological (sometimes certain parts of the eyes/eyelids may look a bit redder but be normal), or it may be issues like dryness or eyelid inflammation/blepharitis. Without knowing what the problem is for sure, it is difficult to know what else to do to make it better.
