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

Erbium laser characteristics
German erbium laser MCL-30 Dermablate is used to rejuvenate the eye area. The device is able to generate impulses that penetrate the soft tissues at a shallow depth. This guarantees the most gentle effect.
Using the device allows you to get an excellent anti-aging effect, while avoiding burns and major soft tissue damage. The beam acts exclusively on problem areas without affecting the surrounding tissue. This modern technology is safe for health, the recovery period after the procedure lasts only a few days.
How to perform the procedure
The procedure is easily portable. Thanks to the use of pain relief, the patient does not feel anything. The eyes are protected from the effects of radiation with special caps, so the anti-aging procedure does not adversely affect vision. The procedure takes 20-40 minutes.
The inner and outer eyelids are treated with a laser. All soft tissues of 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, which is responsible for the elasticity of soft tissues. This allows you to sharpen the contours of the eyes, get rid of wrinkles and bags.
If necessary, laser polishing is performed at the last stage, which makes the skin of the eyelids smooth and radiant.
Recovery period
Eyelid discomfort is possible for two days. This is normal and should not be a concern. Unpleasant phenomena disappear on their own. Edema may also be present normally for the first 3 days after photothermolysis.
The rejuvenating effect can be fully assessed one month after the procedure. To consolidate the result, it is recommended to perform 3-4 procedures with an interval of 1, 5 months.
Modern rejuvenation technology is safe, but if the technique of the procedure is violated or if it is performed in the presence of contraindications, complications can occur. These include: joining infection, scarring, age spots, deep burns.
