The German erbium laser MCL-30 Dermablate is used to rejuvenate the eye area. The device can generate pulses that penetrate soft tissue at a shallow depth. This makes for the gentlest effect.

How the procedure is carried out
The procedure is easily portable. Thanks to the pain relief, the patient does not feel anything. The eyes are protected from the effects of radiation by special caps so that the anti-aging process does not affect eyesight. The process takes 20-40 minutes.
Both the inner and outer eyelids are treated with a laser. All soft tissues of the para-orbital zone are also warmed up. The use of ultra-long pulses from an erbium laser is a unique technique that can trigger collagen synthesis, which is responsible for the elasticity of soft tissues. This allows you to sharpen the contours of the eyes, remove wrinkles and pockets.
If necessary, in the final stage, laser treatment is carried out to make the skin of the eyelids smooth and radiant.
