Both the inner and outer eyelids are treated with a laser. All soft tissues of the paraorbital zone are also warmed up. The use of ultra-long pulses of an erbium laser is a unique technique that can trigger the synthesis of collagen, which is responsible for the elasticity of soft tissues. This allows you to sharpen the contours of the eyes, get rid of folds and bags.
