Fig. 23.2 Before and after 2 Fraxel treatments
(any energy level of 10 mJ). Sensation is similar to a feeling of needles on the skin.
No bandage is required after the procedure. Figure 23.2 illustrates an outcome with fractionated laser resurfacing.
Nonablative fractionated lasers maintain the structural integrity of the epidermis. Repeat treatments are required at one month intervals (three to five since each treatment affects about 20% of the treated surface). The energy level is increased by 2 mJ per treatment session though development of petechia may occur in this area, requiring a lowering of energy levels.
23.9Posttreatment Care for Nonablative Fractionated Laser
Patients typically have swelling and erythema for 24–48 h. The facial area should not be manipulated with the exception of cold compresses. They are also encouraged to keep their
head elevated in the first night and avoid vigorous activity. Normal skin care regimen may be resumed if skin irritation is not present. Strict adherence to sun protection with use of total sunscreen and avoidance of direct sun exposure is encouraged for at least 3 months.
23.10 Conclusion
Periorbital laser resurfacing is an excellent option for lower lid rhytids, fine lines, and laxity. Ultrapulsated CO2 laser remains the gold standard in “tightening” of the lower lid as well as improving static rhytids and fine lines albeit with lower patient acceptance and higher morbidity. Fractionated ablative and nonablative lasers represent a newer generation of light-based devices with limited down-time and decreased risk of dyschromia. These lasers, however, also have not been able to achieve the same degree of lower lid improvement as traditional ablative lasers.
