I am 31 years old and am starting to show some very minor hooding/excess skin on my upper eyelids (and a bit of excess skin on the lowers).I don't think I'm quite ready for invasive surgery, and am wondering if there are any effective laser tightening procedures that can safely be done around the eye area (barring Thermage, since it doesn't really seem to work). Thanks!

Answer: Laser for Upper Eyelid Tightening No. None of them will get rid of the hooding that you are describing. Only an upper eyelid Blepharoplasty and/or a Brow lift will help.

Answer: Tightening skin around eyes You really can't shrink skin, no matter what the method. The co2 laser will allow very modest tightening but it is agressive and patients need to be properly selected. If there is a true excess, only surgical removal will work. You are right about thermage, it doesn't work. Neither does fraxel therapy or Pearl (which I use for modest sun damage.
