Features of the Erbium laser
German MCL-30 Dermablate Erbium Laser is used to rejuvenate the eye area. The device is capable of generating pulses that penetrate soft tissue at shallow depth. This guarantees the smoothest effect.
Using the device allows you to achieve excellent anti-aging effect, while preventing burns and severe damage to soft tissue. The beam acts exclusively on problem areas without affecting surrounding tissue. This modern technology is harmless to health, the recovery period after the procedure lasts only a few days.
How the procedure is performed
The procedure is easily portable. Through the use of pain relief, the patient feels nothing. The eyes are protected from the effects of radiation by special plugs, so that the anti-aging procedure does not adversely affect the vision. The procedure takes 20 to 40 minutes.
The inner and outer eyelids are laser treated. All the soft tissues of the para-orbital area are also warmed. Using ultra-long pulses from an erbium laser is a unique technique that can trigger the synthesis of collagen, which is responsible for the elasticity of soft tissue. This allows you to sharpen the contours of the eyes, get rid of folds and puffiness.
If necessary, laser resurfacing is performed at the final stage, making the skin of the eyelids smooth and glowing.
Recovery period
Discomfort in the eyelids is possible for two days. This is normal and should not be of concern. Unpleasant phenomena go away on their own. Edema may also be present normally within 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.
