I would like to inquire about fine lines around the eyes and forehead, internal dryness, the laser treatment cycle, and the prevention of pain and side effects during the late autumn transition period.
Hello. I am a woman in my mid-30s, and I am concerned that my face has become particularly tight and dry lately as we enter the transitional period of late autumn. With cold winds blowing in the mornings and evenings, plus the heating at the office, even though I reapply moisturizer and eye cream all day, my eye area remains wrinkled, and it feels like fine lines are becoming more pronounced on my forehead. It is also stressful that when I apply makeup, only those areas become flaky and powder settles into the skin.
I've been diligently moisturizing at home, but since cosmetics alone aren't addressing the dryness and fine lines, I'm considering getting a proper laser treatment. I'm also worried that applying too much laser pressure to areas with thin skin, like around the eyes and forehead, might actually irritate them.
I have a few questions.
1. I would like to know which laser treatment (Pico Toning, Fraxel, LDM, etc.) you usually recommend first when fine lines around the eyes and forehead are accompanied by internal dryness, or whether you combine it with moisturizing and soothing care first.
2. I would like to know the recommended treatment cycle and the total number of sessions you consider standard, as well as whether the interval between sessions is typically 2 weeks or 4 weeks.
3. I would like to receive detailed guidance on how long the anesthetic cream should be applied to thin areas like the eye area, how much pain there is during the procedure, and what pre- and post-procedure care is necessary to minimize side effects such as swelling, bruising, peeling, and hyperpigmentation.
4. I would also like to ask if it is okay to get the procedure during the change of seasons, or if it would be better to get it done after the weather stabilizes a bit.
I would like to make a decision after consulting at a nearby branch. I would appreciate it if you could let me know if there are any points I should check in advance during the consultation (such as allergies, medications I am currently taking, skin type, etc.). Thank you in advance for your reply.
