Laser rejuvenation around the eyes (fractional photothermolysis) is a modern technique that allows you to painlessly eliminate wrinkles or reduce their depth, and restore firmness, elasticity and luminosity to the skin around the eyes.
Fractional laser rejuvenation: the essence of the method.
The use of light energy of a laser beam allows you to have a deep effect on the skin, stop the aging process and restore the elasticity of the eyelids.
The main advantage of fractional photothermolysis is that it is less traumatic when exposed to the skin: the beam hits the skin as if passing through a mesh, with each procedure 15-25% of the old tissue can be removed, in its place young and healthy skin is formed, one part of the skin cells evaporates and the other remains intact.
When performing fractional laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes, the radiation parameters are selected individually and the impact is carried out strictly on certain areas.As a result, damage to the epidermis is minimal, only problem areas are affected.

How is the procedure performed?
The procedure is easily tolerated.Thanks to the use of anesthesia, the patient does not feel anything.The eyes are protected from radiation with special caps, so the rejuvenation procedure does not have a negative effect on vision.The procedure lasts between 20 and 40 minutes.
The laser treats both the inner and outer surfaces of the eyelids.All soft tissues in the paraorbital area are also heated.The use of ultra-long pulses of erbium laser is a unique technique that can trigger the synthesis of collagen, responsible for the elasticity of soft tissues.This allows you to lighten the eye contour, eliminate folds and bags.
If necessary, laser rejuvenation is performed at the final stage, which leaves the skin of the eyelids smooth and radiant.
Recovery period
You may feel discomfort in the eyelid area for two days.This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.Unpleasant phenomena disappear on their own.There may also usually be swelling in the first 3 days after photothermolysis.
The anti-aging effect can be fully appreciated one month after the procedure.To consolidate the result, it is advisable to carry out 3-4 procedures with an interval of 1.5 months.
