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

- skin aging;
- age wrinkles (including imitation and different depths);
- bags under the eyes;
- eyelid swelling, blurred contours;
- pigmentation;
- dilated capillaries in the paraorbital zone;
- yellow errors.
Fractional photothermolysis of the skin around the eyes allows patients of all ages to look young and attractive, get rid of dark circles under the eyes, signs of fatigue and reminders of old age.

Erbium laser characteristics
German erbium laser MCL-30 Dermablate is used to rejuvenate the eye area. The device is capable of generating impulses that penetrate soft tissues at shallow depths. This ensures the most gentle effect.
Using the device gives you 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, and 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.
Both inner and outer eyelids are treated with a laser. All soft tissues of the paraorbital zone are also heated. The use of ultralong pulses of erbium laser is a unique technique that can trigger the synthesis of collagen which is responsible for soft tissue elasticity. This allows you to sharpen the contours of the eyes, solve wrinkles and bags.
If necessary, laser re-application of the surface is performed in the final stage, making the eyelid skin smooth and radiant.
Recovery period
Discomfort in the eyelid area is possible for two days. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern. Unpleasant phenomena pass by themselves. Edema may be present and normal in the first 3 days after photothermolysis.
The effect of rejuvenation can be fully assessed one month after the procedure. To consolidate the result, it is desirable to carry out 3-4 procedures with an interval of 1, 5 months.
Modern rejuvenation technology is safe, but if the procedure technique is violated or if it is performed in the presence of contraindications, complications can occur. These include: approaching infection, yellow changes, age spots, deep burns.
Advantages of fractional photothermolysis
Laser rejuvenation can successfully solve the problems that arise with age in most women and men.
The technique has a number of positive effects:
- Visible result of rejuvenation, smoothing of relief, color and structure of skin after the first session;
- High efficiency;
- Short rehabilitation;
- Can be performed on any part of the face and body, regardless of the season, suitable for all skin types;

Laser rejuvenation differs from laser skin rejuvenation by a less aggressive effect on the skin and a shorter rehabilitation period - it is approximately 2 times shorter and lasts only 4-7 days. After the procedure, redness and peeling of the skin remains on the skin for 2-3 days to 5-6 days.
With the help of photothermolysis you can rejuvenate the problem area around the eyes and make the face look fresh and radiant. Feedback from patients undergoing laser therapy confirms the effectiveness of this technique.
