Laser rejuvenation of the eye area (fractional photothermolysis) is a modern technique that allows you to painlessly eliminate wrinkles or reduce their depth and restore firmness, elasticity and radiance to the skin around the eyes.
Fractional laser rejuvenation: the essence of the method
The light energy of a laser beam allows you to act deep into the skin, stopping the aging process and restoring the elasticity of the eyelids.
The main advantage of fractional photothermolysis is that it is less traumatic when acting on the skin - the beam hits the skin as if it were passed through a net, with each procedure, 15-25% of old tissue can be removed, healthy young skin is formed in its place, some of the skin cells evaporate, and the other remains untouched.
During fractional laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes, the radiation parameters are selected individually and the effect is exerted exclusively on certain areas.This means that damage to the epidermis is minimal and only problem areas are affected.

Features of Erbium Laser
The German erbium laser MCL-30 Dermablate is used to rejuvenate the eye area.The device is able to generate impulses that only penetrate the soft tissue to a shallow depth.This ensures the gentlest effect.
By using the device, you can achieve an excellent rejuvenating effect while avoiding burns and significant damage to soft tissue.The jet acts exclusively on problem areas without affecting the surrounding tissue.This modern technology is harmless to health; the recovery period after the procedure lasts only a few days.
How is the procedure carried out?
The procedure is well tolerated.Thanks to the anesthesia, the patient feels nothing.The eyes are protected from radiation by special caps, so the rejuvenation process does not have a negative impact on vision.The procedure lasts 20-40 minutes.
The laser treats both the inner and outer surfaces of the eyelids.All soft tissues of the paraorbital zone are also warmed.The use of ultra-long erbium laser pulses is a unique technique that can trigger the synthesis of collagen, which is responsible for the elasticity of soft tissue.This allows you to clarify the contours of the eyes and eliminate wrinkles and bags under the eyes.
If necessary, laser treatment is performed as a final step to make the skin of the eyelids smooth and radiant.
recovery phase
You may experience discomfort in the eyelid area for two days.This is normal and should not be a cause for concern.Unpleasant phenomena disappear on their own. In the first 3 days after photothermolysis, swelling may also usually occur.
The anti-aging effect can be fully felt just one month after the procedure.To consolidate the result, it is recommended to carry out 3-4 procedures with an interval of 1.5 months.
Modern rejuvenation technologies are safe, but if the technique of the procedure is violated or the procedure is performed in the presence of contraindications, complications may arise.These include: infections, scarring changes, age spots, deep burns.
