Laser Eyelift Florham Park

Laser eyelifts can be customized for a wide range of skin types, but they require precise calibration to avoid pigment changes or prolonged redness in darker or more sensitive skin. Experienced oculoplastic surgeons adjust laser settings—depth, pulse duration, and wavelength—to match each patient’s skin characteristics. For patients with higher Fitzpatrick skin types, fractional CO₂ or erbium lasers may be used conservatively, or combined with pre-treatment skin conditioning to ensure safe, even results.

Yes, but to varying degrees depending on the cause. A laser eyelift is highly effective for tightening thin, crepey skin on the upper or lower eyelids and reducing fine lines. It can also improve mild under-eye puffiness caused by fluid retention or skin laxity. However, if puffiness is due to fat prolapse (fat pads pushing forward beneath the eyes), a surgical blepharoplasty or fat repositioning may be more appropriate. A detailed evaluation helps determine which approach, or combination, will deliver the most natural, balanced result.

Results from a laser eyelift can last several years, especially with proper skin care and protection. Daily sunscreen use, antioxidant-rich eye products, and occasional light-based maintenance treatments (such as fractional laser or IPL) help preserve smoothness and firmness. Avoiding smoking and maintaining hydration also support long-term collagen health. Many patients schedule an annual review with their surgeon to adjust their maintenance plan as their skin continues to age gracefully.
