Laser skin resurfacing is a great adjunct to cosmetic blepharoplasty
Laser skin resurfacing is a great adjunct to cosmetic blepharoplasty. It rejuvenates the skin and stimulates collagen. The laser can be done at the same time as surgery so that there is one healing time. The laser can also be done on it’s own.
In my office center I use the Lutronic eC02 fractional laser. This laser works by creating tiny micro wounds, leaving bridges of healthy skin, thus treating a “fraction” of the skin’s surface. This allows quick healing times with great results.
The laser reduces imperfections in the skin and promotes collagen regeneration for long term wrinkle reduction. It also improves the tone and color of the skin, giving it a smooth even glow.
Typically only a single treatment is needed. The Co2 laser:
- Reduces facial lines and wrinkles
- Gives the skin a more firm, smooth appearance
- Improves appearance of scars
- Reduces sun damage such as brown spots
- Improves appearance of pigment and vascular conditions
Immediately after the treatment you will have some swelling and redness. This usually subsides in 5-7 days depending on how aggressive the treatment was. Results are seen after a few days when the skin will look smoother and more even toned. The skin will continue to improve over the next 6-9 months as new collagen builds.
