Periocular CO₂ laser
The CO₂ laser is one of the most effective tools for rejuvenating the skin around the eyes. It helps improve fine wrinkles, texture, laxity, scars, and sun damage, with natural, progressive results. It is a safe procedure when performed by an oculoplastic specialist, as this is such a delicate area.
What is the CO₂ laser?
Fractional CO₂ laser emits microcolumns of energy that penetrate the skin and stimulate the production of new collagen. This leads to deep skin renewal, improving its quality and firmness.
