Therefore, specialists in beauty salons and aesthetic surgery clinics offer their clients laser rejuvenation procedures for eyelids and skin around the eyes, including fractional skin resurfacing and laser blepharoplasty.
In 75% of all laser applications, the beautician eliminates wrinkles, bags under the eyes and tightens the facial contours. The procedure of laser rejuvenation of the skin around the eyes has its advantages and disadvantages, it can only be entrusted to a specialist.
Features of aging and professional eyelid care
Aging of the skin around the eyes is caused by a number of external and internal factors, including the harmful effects of UV radiation, the use of poor-quality cosmetics, regular stress, lack of sleep, lack of vitamins in the body Dynamics of the periorbital zone of the face and disruption of the endocrine system (Hormones stimulate the work of the main structural elements of the epidermis and dermis). Due to the special anatomical structure of the skin (small thickness and lack of hypodermis) and a number of the above reasons, the first signs of skin aging of the eyelids, which include expression lines, elastosis, "bags" and dark circles under the eyes, appear prematurelyso this area of the face needs professional cosmetic care.

Fractional taper
The technique of fractional laser rejuvenation (resurfacing) of the skin around the eyes is indicated for people under 45 years of age. The method is based on treatment of the skin with intense laser radiation, which accelerates the process of renewal of the epidermis and heats the skin, which contributes to the activation of the self-regeneration processes of the dermis.
