Fractional laser rejuvenation: the essence of the method
The use of the light energy of a laser beam allows it to have a profound effect on the skin, interrupt the aging process, restore the elasticity of the eyelids.
The main advantage of fractional photothermolysis is the low trauma when exposed to the skin - the beam reaches the skin as if it had passed through a screen, with each procedure 15-25% of the old tissue can be removed, healthy young skin formsinstead, one part of the skin cells evaporates, while the other part remains intact.
When performing fractional laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes, the radiation parameters are selected individually and the effect is done strictly in certain areas. As a result, damage to the epidermis is minimal, only problem areas are affected.

Erbium laser features
German erbium laser MCL-30 Dermablate is used to rejuvenate the eye area. The device is capable of generating impulses that penetrate the soft tissues at a shallow depth. This ensures the smoothest effect.
The use of the device provides an excellent anti-aging effect, preventing burns and extensive damage to soft tissues. 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 the procedure is performed
The procedure is easily transportable. Thanks to the use of painkillers, the patient feels nothing. The eyes are protected from the effects of radiation by special caps, so that the anti-aging procedure does not impair vision. The procedure takes 20 to 40 minutes.
Both the inner and outer eyelids are laser treated. All soft tissues in the paraorbital zone are also heated. The use of ultralong pulses from an erbium laser is a unique technique that can trigger collagen synthesis, responsible for soft tissue elasticity. This allows you to sharpen the contours of your eyes, eliminate folds and bags.
If necessary, laser resurfacing is carried out in the final stage, making the skin of the eyelids smooth and radiant.
Recovery period
Discomfort in the eyelid region is possible for two days. This is normal and should not be a cause for concern. Unpleasant phenomena disappear on their own. Edema may also be present normally in the first 3 days after photothermolysis.
The rejuvenating effect can be fully appreciated one month after the procedure. To consolidate the result, it is advisable 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 performed in the presence of contraindications, complications can arise. These include: infection accession, scar changes, age spots, deep burns.
