Abstract
Many modalities have been described for the treatment of periorbital wrinkling. The purpose of this study is to quantify the improvement of periorbital wrinkling achieved by current nonablative modalities, using a fractional 1565nm Er:glass fiber laser. Our study is a retrospective two-center case series including 16 patients treated with nonablative laser for periorbital wrinkling at the Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center in Israel and Laserplast Aesthetic Medicine Center in Italy between 2017 and 2019. Patients were assessed for objective and subjective improvement, patient satisfaction, side effect profile, and downtime. Improvement in average Fitzpatrick Wrinkle Scale scores (from 4.3 to 2.7 by ranking physician 1 and 3.8 to 2.4 by ranking physician 2, P<.001) was observed after 8weeks. Global Assessment Improvement Scale scores were 2.6 (physician 1) and 2.2 (physician 2) on average. This correlated to mild-moderate subjective sense of improvement by patients. Side effects and downtime were minimal. Our study suggests that current nonablative laser skin resurfacing technology offers a mild-moderate improvement in periorbital wrinkling.
