I'm thinking about having CO2 fractional laser treatments done to lighten my dark circles and eyelids. My concern is that would the light from the laser be able to penetrate the eyelid skin and cause damage to my eyes? Thanks in advance

Answer: Eye Protection for Laser Treatments Thank you for your question! As long as you wear protective eye shields, you should be fine. We use metal goggles at our practice as protective eye shields, so any laser that gets beamed towards your eyes will be reflected off the goggles. I hope this helps and good luck with your treatment!

Answer: CO2 Fractional Laser Thank you for your question. Instead of the CO2 fractional laser, I would recommend using the PicoSure laser. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of scars and dark spots. It works by aiming short bursts of laser energy into your inner and outer tissues. This helps to eliminate red spots, dark spots and scarring. It also helps to cleanse the pores and encourage healthy skin through the production of collagen and elastin. For more information, I recommend getting a in person consultation with a board-certified dermatologist.
