Pro Fractional Laser for Puffy Eyes? I went for a consult to get Blepharoplasty (lower eyelid surgery) for puffiness under my eyes. The doctor said he does not recommend surgery but recommends pro fractional laser treatments for my eyes and face instead. Does pro fractional laser treatment reduce under eye puffiness?

A: Puffy eyes or bags can be helped by many cosmetic procedures

Profractional Laser, Mixto, Fraxel, Pixel or other Co2 lasers can help tighten or resurface the delicate lower eyelid skin. without a face to face consultation, it is impossible to state whether this is all that is necessary for you. Laser resurfacing does not remove or contour fat or puffiness. The puffiness can be improved by a traditional or laser blepharoplasty.

In my practice, I use the Mixto laser to contour the fatty tissue as well as to tighten the skin. The profractional does NOT change the fat, as it is not an incisional laser. If you want tightening of the skin without removal of fat, thermage may also be of benefit to you. Does your doctor even perform eyelid surgery? If not you may want to get a second opinion. Best of Luck.
