CO2 Laser Blepharoplasty
Combines the precision of CO2 laser technology with traditional eyelid surgery to remove excess tissue from the eyelids, reduce bags under the eyes, and tighten skin for a more youthful, refreshed look.
CO2 Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty benefits
- Non-invasive laser treatment for precision, reducing bleeding and minimizing damage to surrounding tissue.
- Reduces eyelid sagging and under-eye bags.
- Improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
- Minimal downtime compared to traditional surgery.
- Precision cutting allows for better healing and less risk of scarring.
How does CO2 Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty work?
Involve the use of a CO2 laser to vaporize excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids.
- CO2 Laser for Precision: The CO2 laser is used to precisely remove the excess skin and fat around the eyes. This laser energy is absorbed by the tissue, which vaporizes unwanted skin cells while stimulating collagen production in the deeper layers of the skin.
- Minimal Bleeding and Faster Healing: CO2 laser technology causes less bleeding compared to traditional scalpel methods, and it also helps in faster healing due to the sealing of blood vessels during the procedure.
- Tightens Skin: The laser also stimulates collagen remodeling, which tightens the skin and improves the overall texture and tone around the eyes.
- Fat Removal: In some cases, the laser can be used to selectively remove fat pads from the eyelids (especially under the eyes), reducing puffiness and bags.
Prepare for CO2 Laser-Assisted Blepharoplasty
1–2 Weeks Before:
- Avoid taking aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood-thinning medications at least 2 weeks prior to the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.
- Smoking can impair healing, so it’s advised to avoid smoking at least 2 weeks before and after the surgery.
- Have a consultation with your surgeon to discuss your medical history, expectations, and any medications you're taking.
- Ensure that the skin around your eyes is not sunburned or tanned before the procedure. Sun exposure can increase the risk of complications.
- Blood tests should be performed before the procedure to ensure that you are in good overall health and that there are no underlying conditions that could affect the procedure or recovery.
24–48 Hours Before:
- Avoid alcohol and caffeine in the 24–48 hours leading up to the procedure to reduce swelling and improve recovery.
- Clean your face thoroughly before arriving for the procedure, removing makeup, lotions, or oils.

People with conditions like dermatochalasis (drooping eyelids), prominent eyelid fat pads, or eyelid laxity, as well as those with fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, can benefit from CO2 laser-assisted blepharoplasty. Ideal candidates also include those seeking to address excess skin obstructing vision or those desiring a more youthful appearance.

First Week: Avoid makeup around the eyes for the first 1–2 weeks to allow the skin to heal properly. Continue to hydrate the treated area with prescribed ointments or moisturizers, as recommended by your surgeon.

- Avoid direct sun exposure for at least 2 weeks after the procedure, and always apply SPF 30+ or higher if you need to go outdoors.
- Cold compresses can be applied to minimize swelling and discomfort.
- Avoid vigorous physical activities and exercise for the first 1–2 weeks to allow the skin to heal properly.
Long-Term Care:
- Follow-up appointments are usually scheduled within the first week and then at 1–2 months after surgery to ensure proper healing and to monitor the results.
- Maintain sun protection for the treated areas to avoid pigmentation or sunburn, which can interfere with healing and results.

I have already scheduled my next one with Raffaella. I recommend the spa, very clean and everyone is very professional.

I came here all the way from North Bay Village because I heard it was a very good and professional medical Spa where I could get specific treatments for my skin. They have many options and advanced technology with the newest machines for treatments like Morpheus or Fotona4D. I got the Morpheus with Dr Rafaella Pizio, who first explained to me everything and answered all my questions, then She treated my face very professionally and She made sure that I will get the best results. I’m very satisfied and I’ve already booked my next appointment with her for the eye Fotona in 3 weeks. I highly recommend this Spa to everyone who is looking for a professional and advanced place to treat their skin. Thank you V&C! Thank you Raffaella!

I came to this amazing Spa to get Fotona4D on the eyes area…I can’t be happier from the results I got. I used to have the area around my eyes very empty and dark…after 2 of the 3 sessions with Rafaella Pizio, my eyes look new, the skin around them is tight and no more tired look on my face. It gave me a younger look and I’m so excited to see the last results. I’m looking forward to try also the Morpheus with Rafaella, She is very professional and caring. I would recommend this Spa to everyone!
