I have been trying to find a minimally invasive procedure to remove under eye bags. When I search for this procedure it is always in the UK. When will the less invasive laser treatments to eradicate under eye bags be approved here in the US? The results seem amazing and the testimonials are all…

This procedure has been performed in the US for many years depending on your definition of "less invasive." Using a laser to tighten the skin does not require any incision but does require a recovery time and is not always the best solution. A laser can be used to melt fat but this may not be as precise as doing a minimally invasive procedure. I use a laser for all of my blepharoplasty procedures, using the laser beam instead of a knife or scissors. So, the best thing to do is call some offices where you live and schedule some consultations. You should be pleasantly surprised by what you learn about treatment options here in the United States.

I have a lot of old (10 years) scars on my arms, mainly from cutting, that are hardly raised anymore, but very visible. Could a skin resurfacing procedure remove them?

This is a difficult situation. They cannot be removed but their appearance may be improved. Trying to "re-pigment" these scars can be time consuming and costly but it is an option. An Excimer Laser or ReLume device is used for this. Another option is to trying and lighten the skin adjacent to the white scars you have. This can be done with laser ablations of the adjacent skin.

Hello, I am a 31-year-old male and close to my nose, my eyebrows start angle down towards my eyes. I feel I would look a lot better if they didn't angle downward so sharply. If I put my thumb on the center of my forehead and lift up toward my hairline very slightly, my eyebrows are just where I want…

Yes it is possible to selectively raise either the inner or outer portion of one's eyebrows. This can be done endoscopically with very small incisions. A neurotoxin can be instilled right after surgery to help hold the brow position initially. The cost varies but could be in the 4,000 to 6,000 range.

I am 50 years old and in good physical shape. I am a tri-athlete. I am considering a mini-face lift. My problem areas are small lines above my lip, crows feet, laugh lines, and lines on my forehead. I always look tired. Do you recommend a face lift?

A facelift can be preformed but most of the improvement from a a facelift are centered about the mid face, jowls and neck. The lines around your lips may be improved by fillers, chemical or laser treatment. The concerns you have with your forehead, crows feet region would be improved by a brow lift with or without a blepharoplasty. Hope this helps!
