Can the CO2 laser really conjure up a firm, wrinkle-free eye area on the lower eyelids? I will explain to you how the CO2 laser works and what downtime and results you can expect! The eye area and the lower eyelid in particular is an area that is rather difficult to treat because the skin is particularly thin and therefore prone to wrinkles and water retention. The CO2 laser is generally a good way to treat the lower eyelids or the whole face, but it also has a few disadvantages. This is how the CO2 laser works: The CO2 laser releases energy (heat) that acts on the superficial layers of the skin. It uses this energy to create controlled damage, which the body then repairs. This stimulates collagen production and cell growth and the skin looks firmer. The CO2 laser is an ablative laser that removes superficial layers of skin. However, this leads to more severe damage to the skin and thus to longer downtimes. CO2 laser downtime: The downtime is between 10 and 14 days. Side effects of CO2 laser: Redness and swelling. Darker skin types can experience pigmentation disorders, especially in the area of the lower eyelids. Result of CO2 laser: The results of treatment with the CO2 laser last for several years. The new Alma Hybrid Laser combines the CO2 laser with other laser technologies to achieve great results without a long downtime. For me, the better solution because it is easier to control.
