Is Fractional laser safe to use under the eyes?

Fractional CO2 laser resurfacing is not only safe around the eye, but essential. Resurfacing rejuvenates facial skin. However, not resurfacing around the eye defeats the entire purpose. The area around the eyes holds the key to having successful resurfacing. Without doing this area, the peri-orbital area looks dull and aged. In fact, I always save this area for last because the result is so dramatic and is the perfect finishing touch. As for the lip scar, it depends on the size and location of the scar. While CO2 laser resurfacing is an outstanding procedure, the result is only as good as the experience and skill of the doctor performing the procedure. Please make sure your doctor has both.

Yes, obviously see a Board Certified specialist for this treatment. We use either internal eye shields or external depending on the clinical situation. The best fractional for tightening is CO2, but other fractional laser can be effective as well. Eye rejuvenation with laser can give an amazing difference as eyes are the very first thing people look at when they meet or greet you. All the best, Dr Davin Lim. Brisbane. Australia.
