Hello! My name is Jessica, I am a physician assistant, and one of the providers at Aesthetic Skin in Winnetka and Chicago. This is a great question. Yes, CO2 lasers can be safe on Asian skin when performed by an experienced practitioner who understands how to tailor the treatment for different skin types. CO2 laser resurfacing is effective for addressing a variety of skin concerns, including wrinkles, pigmentation, and skin texture, and it can be used on the eyelids to tighten skin and reduce fine lines. However, due to the increased risk of hyperpigmentation or hypopigmentation in darker skin tones, it’s crucial to take extra precautions, such as adjusting the laser settings and performing a patch test beforehand. When used properly, a CO2 laser can deliver excellent results on both the eyelids and other delicate areas, as long as the treatment is customized to your skin’s needs.
