Dear Marie,
I cannot be certain without examining you but I believe you are describing a bunny line caused by the contraction of the procerus and nasalis muscles.

Dear Betty,
Both the MicroLaserPeel®, done with the Sciton® Profile Erbium laser, and the Fraxel®, done with the Fraxel® laser by Reliant Technologies® are non-surgical facial rejuvenation laser skin treatments used to remove wrinkles, pigment and other facial aging changes on the surface of the facial skin.

I have tried them all on my face-I like the Aluma with FACES and the Luxir [...]

Dear Vicki,
IPL or photo facial will not help dark circles under the eyes. Usually an eyelid surgery procedure called transconjunctival laser blepharoplasty with arcus marginalis release and fat repositioning is required to correct dark circles under the eyes. I have written a lot about this procedure. Check the archives on the right hand side of [...]

puffy eyelids and dark circles then an eyelid operation called a laser blepharoplasty will be necessary.
