As people age, the changes around the eyes are very obvious. The eyes always age before other parts, and the condition of the eyes will directly affect our sense of age.
Therefore, in aesthetic anti-aging treatment, anti-aging around the eyes is also very important. When the eye area ages, fine wrinkles and sagging skin usually appear. Therefore, the core of anti-aging in the eye area is to remove wrinkles and tighten the skin.
Laser, ultrasound, radio frequency, etc. can all be used to tighten the eye area, using heat to stimulate the activity of subcutaneous fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastic fibers, so as to achieve the purpose of tightening the skin around the eyes.
Today, we will introduce the thulium laser produced by Liton Laser for fine wrinkle removal and skin tightening in the eye area.
What is Eye Area Aging?
Fine lines and sagging skin around the eyes are the main manifestations of aging around the eyes. The specific symptoms are dry and sagging skin in the eye area, no tension, and fine wrinkles arranged radially.
There are two main causes of aging around the eyes: one is the loss of collagen, and the other is the fracture of skin tissue. The tissue in the skin around the eyes is like the “rebar” in a building, and collagen is like “cement”. When the “rebar” collapses due to aging and cannot fix and support collagen, wrinkles, collapse, and sagging will appear around the eyes.
Why does the eye area age first?
1. Weak Periorbital Skin
The thickness of the skin around the eyes is only 0.04~0.06mm, which is about 1/3 of the thickness of the facial skin. There are almost no sebaceous glands and sweat glands that supply oil around the eyes, so the hydrolipid film has little protective effect on the eye skin. At the same time, the fat around the eyes is also small, lacking elastic fibers and collagen structures. Therefore, the skin around the eyes is prone to lose elasticity and have skin problems such as wrinkles, roughness, sagging, and pigmentation. In addition, it is also important to note that periorbital care and sun protection are easily neglected in daily care, and light damage can easily lead to fine lines, mottled pigment problems and wrinkle changes.
2. Frequent Eye Micro-movements
The eye area is performing conscious or unconscious eye micro-movements from morning to night. The number of blinks in both eyes in a day is as high as more than 10,000 times, which makes the periorbital area around the eyes one of the earliest areas to show aging. The first fine lines of a person usually appear around the eyes.
3. Eye Area is Rich in Nerve Fibers and Capillaries
The nerve fibers and capillaries around the eyes are densely distributed. Poor blood circulation can easily lead to dull eye skin and edema around the eyes. In addition, irregular lifestyle and improper use of eyes can easily cause dull eye skin and sagging skin, forming “dark circles” that affect beauty.
Eye Area Anti-aging Treatment Theory
Liton Laser usually uses thulium laser or thulium-erbium dual laser for anti-aging treatment (fine wrinkle removal and skin tightening) in the Eye area. So how can thulium laser and thulium-erbium laser effectively remove fine wrinkles and tighten the skin in the Eye area?
Thulium Laser to Remove Eye Area Wrinkles
The 1927 nm wavelength laser is used to act on the skin, which produces thermal effects and thermal coagulation through photothermal effects. While the skin is rapidly repairing itself and the surrounding normal tissue is reorganized, it can also achieve skin collagen regeneration, dermal remodeling, pore shrinking, and wrinkle smoothing. Thulium laser has largely solved most of the problems of the epidermis. The most important thing is that it can achieve the reconstruction of micro-skin peeling, bringing patients a more comfortable treatment plan and safety guarantee.
Thulium-Erbium Laser Eye Area Skin Tightening
1927 nm thulium laser can improve fine lines around the eyes by stimulating collagen production and inducing collagen contraction. 1550 nm erbium glass laser releases energy in fractional form, and heat conduction can reach the reticular layer in the middle of the dermis, stimulating a series of skin repair reactions such as collagen regeneration and reorganization, thereby achieving the effect of tightening the skin around the eyes and fading fine lines around the eyes!
Eye Area Treatment Details
Preliminary Work
Before treatment, the beautician or doctor needs to diagnose the patient’s eye area skin problems. Confirm the type of wrinkles and the degree of skin laxity (can also be determined using a skin analyzer) in order to determine the parameters and energy of subsequent treatment.
The patient should clean the face in advance, especially the eye area (you can use a Hydrodermabrasion machine). Remember to wear professional laser glasses to avoid direct laser exposure to the eyes.
The laser operator prepares the laser device, the 1927 nm thulium laser or the 1927/1550 nm thulium erbium laser produced by Liton Laser. And wear goggles to protect the operator’s eyes.
For the removal of fine wrinkles and tightening of the skin in the eye area, Liton Laser recommends the use of 1927 thulium laser with an energy of 1.5mj~2mj, and 1550 erbium laser with an energy of 2mj~5mj. The treatment machine handpiece chooses a small area roller tip handpiece.If the patient has requirements for treatment comfort, an air cooler or small fan can be used to assist in treatment and lower the surface temperature of the skin during treatment.
Treatment Process
In actual treatment, beauticians or doctors can refer to the “Thulium Erbium Dual Laser Clinical Treatment Guide” provided by Liton Laser to set the correct parameters, including pulse width, power, dot spacing, mode, treatment pattern, and roller handpiece.
After repeated treatment of the Eye area for 3~4 sessions, the patient’s skin becomes slightly red and slightly hot, and feels slightly hot and frosted to the touch. At this time, the treatment can be ended. The treatment time is about 15 minutes.
Post-treatment Repair
After all laser treatments, you should apply restorative skin care products, such as products containing collagen, growth factors and hyaluronic acid. After laser irradiation, the stratum corneum and dermis are slightly worn. In addition to the human body’s own skin regeneration mechanism that can regenerate collagen, we need to recover faster, and we also need external products to supplement these products that can promote repair.
After thulium laser treatment, the skin channels can be opened, which can help the skin care products absorb and allow the product ingredients to pass through the epidermis and enter the dermis. Using skin care products or masks after thulium laser usually can achieve better treatment results.
High-quality Treatment Results
Thulium Laser to Remove Eye Area Wrinkles
The above picture shows the result of Liton Laser using 1927nm thulium laser to treat fine wrinkles in the eye area, and the before and after photos of 1 session of treatment.
It can be observed that the patient had many fine wrinkles under the eyes before the treatment. After the thulium laser treatment, the patient’s eye area skin was slightly red and the fine wrinkles were completely removed, and the skin was tighter. And this is the immediate result after the treatment. The best results can be obtained after half a month.
Thulium Erbium Laser for Eye Area Tightening
The combined treatment of thulium laser and erbium laser has a better effect on tightening the eye area skin. The above picture shows the before and after photos of thulium erbium dual laser tightening the eye area skin.
We can see that before the treatment, the patient’s eye area skin had obvious wrinkles and loose skin. After the thulium erbium laser treatment, the eye area wrinkles were completely removed, the skin tightened, and the skin became rejuvenated.
Concerns & Considerations
- Choosing Liton Laser roller handpiece is more beneficial for wrinkle removal and skin tightening.
- Applying skin care products after thulium laser treatment can achieve better treatment results.
- The treatment results of thulium erbium laser are better than thulium laser.
- You can see good changes immediately after treatment, but the best skin will be obtained after half a month.
- Try to apply skin care products for 2 days after treatment, do not wash your face or put on makeup.
FAQs about Thulium Laser Eye Area Treatment
Why choose Thulium laser for anti-aging in the Eye area?
With the increasing demand for eye area rejuvenation and the iteration and update of cosmetic medical technology. At present, non-ablative fractional laser has become the best treatment option, represented by 1927nm thulium laser: by stimulating skin regeneration, directly acting on the subcutaneous dermal reticular layer, stimulating fibroblast proliferation and division, rebuilding elastic fibers, making the local skin firm, and thus significantly improving fine lines.
Therefore, thulium laser treatment of fine lines around the eyes, especially such fine lines under the eyes, and sagging upper eyelids is very effective. And non-ablative fractional laser epidermal damage is minimal, there is no risk of pigmentation, the pain is mild, the downtime is short, and no dead angle treatment can be achieved.
So, choosing thulium laser or thulium erbium laser for anti-aging around the eyes is the best choice in the current market.
How many Thulium laser treatments are needed?
Thulium laser can usually improve the condition of the skin around the eyes in one session to see good results. However, if the aging of the skin around the eyes is more serious, 3 to 4 sessions of treatment are required.
Is Thulium Laser Treatment Painful?
