The most effective laser for tightening the skin around the eyes is the Active and Deep FX Ultrapulse CO2 laser. There are many different fractionated lasers that may help. But the Ultrapulse CO2 appears to be the most effective with the least pain and down-time. Physician experience is also important, since the laser can be used in a variety of settings. So be sure to select an experienced Board Certified Dermatologist or Cosmetic Surgeon. In my office, this procedure is performed entirely under topical anesthesia and patients can put make-up over the area in 4-5 days with complete healing in 7-10 days.
