Eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty) can significantly rejuvenate your appearance, but pairing it with laser skin resurfacing can deliver even more refined, radiant results. Boston Eyelid Surgery in Wellesley, MA, offers fractional CO₂ laser resurfacing to improve skin tone, reduce pigmentation, and smooth fine lines. This treatment often complements eyelid surgery to maximize your aesthetic outcome.

What Is Laser Skin Resurfacing?

Laser skin resurfacing uses focused laser energy to gently remove outer layers of damaged skin and stimulate collagen regeneration. At our Wellesley practice, we offer fractional CO₂ laser treatments, which precisely target treatment zones while leaving surrounding tissue intact for quicker healing.

Laser resurfacing is commonly used to address:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Uneven skin tone or discoloration (dyschromia)
  • Rough skin texture
  • Sun damage and age spots

Our approach is tailored to each patient’s skin type and goals to ensure safe and effective outcomes

How Laser Skin Resurfacing Enhances Eyelid Surgery

1. Smooths Fine Lines Around the Eyes

While eyelid surgery removes excess skin and fat, it doesn’t target surface texture. Laser resurfacing addresses crepey skin and superficial wrinkles, delivering smoother, more youthful-looking skin around the eyes.

2. Improves Tone and Brightness

Many patients have residual sun damage or discoloration following blepharoplasty. Laser treatments help fade brown spots and uneven pigmentation, refining the overall complexion and enhancing surgical results.

3. Encourages Collagen Renewal

CO₂ laser energy stimulates deep collagen remodeling, which supports firmer, more resilient skin. This can help maintain the rejuvenated look from your eyelid procedure and even enhance other areas of the face.

Who Can Benefit From Laser Resurfacing After Eyelid Surgery?

Laser resurfacing is a great option for patients who:

  • Want to further improve skin texture or tone
  • Have mild to moderate sun damage
  • Are looking to enhance results after blepharoplasty
  • Prefer a non-surgical method to refresh facial skin

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your skin and surgical results to determine the best treatment timing and laser settings.

What To Expect From Laser Skin Resurfacing in Wellesley, MA

Before Treatment

  • A topical anesthetic is applied to reduce discomfort
  • Eye protection and precision laser targeting are used
  • Treatment typically lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the area

After Treatment

  • Redness and mild peeling are normal for several days
  • Most patients return to normal activities within one week
  • Skin will continue to improve in texture and tone over the following weeks as collagen builds

Our team provides thorough post-treatment instructions and follow-up care for a smooth recovery.
