After 25 years, the woman pays close attention to the skin around the eyes, because this area is prone to early formation of wrinkles. Plastic surgery today offers many cosmetic operations to eliminate this problem, but it is always preferable to repair defects without unnecessary incisions. In this article, we will consider such a method as non-surgical laser blepharoplasty of the upper and lower eyelids.
The essence of the procedure
The nonoperative blepharoplasty of the upper eyelids consists in the exposure of the skin to the point radiation of the CO2 laser. It causes the appearance of microthermal damage zones, which causes the skin cells to intensively regenerate and produce a high amount of collagen. In addition, deep warming of the eyelid skin is carried out, which ensures maximum penetration of radio-frequency energy to the reticular layer of the dermis.
For the lower stationary eyelid, less traumatic RF radiation is used. It provokes vasodilation, improvement of blood microcirculation in the deep layers of the skin, due to which the stimulating effect of lifting is retained for a long time. Unlike transconjunctival blepharoplasty of the lower eyelids, this procedure does not injure even the inner side of the skin and does not form punctures on its surface. Thus, the method in question is suitable for all age groups without the risk of scar tissue formation.
Rehabilitation after blepharoplasty
The presented laser exposure does not require a long recovery period due to the small invasiveness of the procedure. After non-surgical blepharoplasty, it is recommended to apply wound healing ointments and gels, for example, Bepanten, as well as thorough hygienic care for the skin around the eyes. In addition, it is desirable to avoid exposure to sunlight by applying photoprotective agents.
Indications for the procedure:
- sagging of upper and lower eyelids;
- bags under the eyes;
- the formation of deep wrinkles.
In addition, blepharoplasty is used for the Europeanization of Asian eyes, but in such cases a surgical method is recommended.
Complications of blepharoplasty
After the cosmetic manipulation under consideration, the risk of complications is practically absent if one adheres to the recommendations of the treating specialist and regularly uses the prescribed medications.
