HELP! Reaura under Eyes.

Hi everyone.

So far I have done 6 Reaura treatments.
I have to admiti that my skin texture has already improved (my friends commented on it).

However, one of my major concerns are those fine lines under the eyes.

And so...yes, I treated the "immediate" under eye's area with Reaura. The first few treatment nothing happened, but last treatment has brought up some even worse nastier wrinkles in the area.

I know that Reaura is not supposed to be used under the eyes, but I figured, if the Palovia promises to treat the eye area, the Reaura must be able to do the same, since they are both Laser technology.

So now I'm left wondering...should I carry on and treat the eye area a few more times? Will it create more wrinkles? Will they eventually go away?

I'm so confused, and I don't want to mess up my face.
Anybody got any suggestion?
Many thanks

Hi Willondon, I kind of did the same thing as you. The first time I did under my eye area the next morning it looked terrible. All dried and wrinkled. So I didn't treat that area again for a few weeks. When I started back treating that area I did only about half as many passes with the laser on the under eye area as on the rest of the face. That seemed to help not make the area dry out as much and so it didn't look as wrinkled.
I think it has help with my under eye area but since it is one of my main concerns I am still working on the area.

Maybe you should let the under eye area rest for a little bit or not do quite so many passes over the area and see how it looks after awhile. I personally don't think it will hurt it long term but the skin there is very thin so I would be cautious. Hope this helps. Anybody else have any experience they would like to chime in with?

ETA: I am not sure you have seen this thread on the ReAura but it covers a lot of information that might be of interest.

I am using the Tria laser and I have gone a little closer to the under eye area than the directions say to. But I have not done as many passes as CookieD suggested and I have done well. Even using microcurrent it is recommended to use less current under the eyes. Getting back to the laser discussion my under eye area is really improving so treating it lightly is the answer for me.

Many Thanks Toby and CookieD. I'll give my under eye are a bit of a rest.

I hope it goes back to how it was before treating it with Reaura!!!
