With over 450 publications and a leading role in developing many of today’s laser devices and related technologies, Dr. Roy Geronemus offers a level of expertise rarely found in cosmetic dermatology and birthmark treatments. Dr. G performs all procedures, safely combining laser, injectable, and energy-based treatments when clinically appropriate.
The under-eye area ages more quickly than other parts of the face because the skin is thinner and contains fewer oil glands. Physical changes and hormonal shifts over time weaken under-eye skin, contributing to thinning, laxity, and visible aging.
Over time, collagen and elastin decline, leading to fine lines, laxity, and crepiness. Sun exposure, genetics, and vascular visibility beneath the skin can further contribute to discoloration and a tired appearance.
Adults who notice early textural changes, fine lines, skin laxity, or overall under-eye aging often make good candidates. Patients seeking subtle improvements without surgery tend to benefit most. A consultation helps determine whether under-eye treatment in NYC aligns with your anatomy, skin quality, overall health, and aesthetic goals.
Energy-based devices deliver controlled energy beneath the skin to stimulate the body’s natural collagen and elastin production. These treatments focus on strengthening the skin from within.
Over time, improved collagen support leads to smoother texture, better firmness, and a healthier-looking under-eye area.
Treatment needs vary depending on the technology selected and the degree of your concern. Some patients see improvement after a single session, while others benefit from a planned series for more gradual refinement. Dr. Geronemus develops care plans based on how your skin responds to treatment and how your results evolve.
Downtime depends on the device used. Many nonablative treatments allow an immediate return to daily activities, while resurfacing options may involve short recovery periods. Any redness or swelling that occurs typically resolves within a few days. We review recovery expectations with you before treatment.
Improvements develop gradually over several weeks to months as collagen levels rebuild. Some patients notice early changes in skin texture, with continued improvements over time. Maximal results often appear within several months after under-eye treatment in NYC.
Yes. Dr. Geronemus may coordinate under-eye treatments with other facial therapies when appropriate. A combined approach can help maintain balance between the eyes and the surrounding facial areas, supporting overall skin quality.
Most patients tolerate treatment well. Sensations vary depending on the technology used, but topical numbing cream and cooling measures can help minimize discomfort during the procedure for patients with sensitive skin.
Results vary based on the treatment type, age, and individual skin biology. Because collagen naturally declines over time, periodic maintenance treatments and an ongoing skincare routine can help preserve the results of under-eye treatment in NYC.
