Age-related skin changes – it is an inevitability for every person. Under the influence of gravitational forces and physiological aging processes, facial skin loses its elasticity, changes color, structure and other characteristics. Eyelids – this is one of the most "vulnerable" areas of the skin of the face, on which age-related changes appear quite early. Currently, cosmetology and plastic surgery offers many methods for correcting age-related skin changes in this area. One of the most modern and effective of them is laser skin rejuvenation of the eyelids. How is this procedure carried out, and what results can be achieved – read on estet-portal.com.

What to Expect from a Laser Eyelid Rejuvenation Treatment

Formation of wrinkles on the skin of the lower eyelids – this is one of the most noticeable manifestations of the aging process of the face. It is wrinkles in the periorbital zone that today are the main reason why patients turn to cosmetologists and plastic surgeons.

Many conservative methods give a fairly good effect that can last for a long time, but one of the most effective modern methods for correcting age-related changes in the periorbital zone is laser eyelid skin rejuvenation.

It is with the help of the laser that one can achieve pronounced results and give the patient's face a new youth.

Indications and contraindications for laser skin rejuvenation

Laser eyelid skin rejuvenation, like other similar procedures, has its own indications and contraindications. The main indication for this procedure is pronounced static and dynamic wrinkles on the skin of the lower eyelid and periorbital zone. Procedures can be performed on patients with any type of skin. For patients whose skin is prone to the formation of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, laser skin rejuvenation is recommended in the warm season after preliminary preparation. The procedure of laser rejuvenation is contraindicated in the following cases:

  • patients with very thin skin;
  • people whose skin is prone to hyperpigmentation;
  • if there are signs of chronic conjunctivitis;
  • in cases where the required scale of skin resurfacing is significant and  extend beyond the lower eyelids.

Method of laser eyelid skin rejuvenation

Laser skin rejuvenation can be performed in two versions: as an isolated intervention, and in combination with tissue lifting and blepharoplasty. In the first case, the procedure is performed under intravenous anesthesia with the patient breathing on his own. Its duration is from 15 to 30 minutes. With combined interventions, laser resurfacing is best performed at the beginning of the surgical intervention, before anesthetics are injected into the tissues of the orbital zone. The intensity and depth of laser skin rejuvenation of the eyelids depends primarily on the thickness of the skin area to be treated, as well as on the severity of age-related skin changes. The appearance of pinpoint capillary hemorrhages indicates the maximum depth of laser skin treatment.

Results of laser eyelid skin resurfacing

The results of laser eyelid skin rejuvenation can be evaluated after the restoration of the normal color of the skin area that was treated. The main positive effects of laser resurfacing include:

  • improvement of the microrelief of the skin;
  • decrease in the depth and number of static wrinkles;
  • reduction in the number and severity of dynamic wrinkles.

In most cases, the visible effect of laser skin rejuvenation lasts for more than 1.5 years.

Minimum duration – 8-10 months in patients with thin skin. It should be noted that as it approaches the temporal region of the face, the effectiveness of laser treatment of wrinkles decreases. In such cases, the results can be improved by combining laser skin rejuvenation with radical lifting of the forehead and eyebrows.
