Laser‐assisted blepharoplasty: An innovative safe and effective technique

Abstract

Background: Blepharoplasty is one of the most popular esthetic procedures with an acceptable risk profile and a relatively quick procedure. Methods:The aim was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a new CO 2 and 1540-nm laser-assisted blepharoplasty technique applied to the upper and lower eyelids. A total of 38 patients were enrolled. Photographs were taken before the treatment and at 6month follow-up. One "blind" observer assessed the performance of this technique by ranking the results in four categories of eyelid esthetic: 1 = no or poor results (0%-25%), 2 = slight improvement (25%-50%), 3 = moderate improvement (50%-75%) and 4 = marked improvement (75%-100%). All possible complications were monitored.Results: Thirty-two patients (84 %) achieved marked improvement, four patients (11%) moderate improvement, two patients (5 %) slight improvement, while zero subjects (0%) poor or no improvement. No serious adverse effects were observed. Conclusions:Our results from clinical evaluations suggest that the CO 2 and 1540-nm laser assisted blepharoplasty is proved to be a sophisticate intervention efficacious in improving the treatment of patients with various degrees of eyelid and periocular aging and also in reducing downtime.

Efficacy evaluation of endolift laser for treatment of nasolabial folds and marionette lines

“… 14 Sometimes, non‐ablative lasers for instance, neodymium: YAG (1320 nm) laser and fractional erbium glass (1550 nm) laser, are used together to reduce the ablative lasers side effects however they have less improvement and need more sessions for treatment. 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effect of Endolift laser therapy as a novel technique on nasolabial fold and marionette lines (one of the facial danger zones).…”

An Innovative Dual-Wavelength Laser Technique for Atrophic Acne Scar Management: A Pilot Study

“…Moreover, the scanning area can be heated homogeneously, continuously, and without coagulation using the second wavelength of 1540 nm. Recently published studies demonstrated the potential application of this dual-wavelength laser technique (10,600 nm/1540 nm) for post-surgical scar management, extensive hypertrophic burn scar management, and as an efficient laser-assisted blepharoplasty technique with good and promising results [20,21]. In addition, other recent studies showed that this dual-wavelength laser approach has demonstrated promise as a new and safe nonsurgical solution for skin laxity and rejuvenation [22,23].…”

A sequential CO2 and 1540 nm laser for the treatment of neck skin laxity

“…Contraction of the 'old' collagen and stimulation of fibroblasts to make new fibres (elasticity) and proteoglycans (viscoelasticity) lead to an improvement in the tension and density of the skin. Moreover, an innovative study by Bonan et al 13 showed that the combination of the abovementioned wavelengths can be used in a surgical procedure like blepharoplasty.…”
