Blepharoplasty consists of an eyelid surgery with the aim of reducing excess skin and orbital fat around the eyelids, which can make the eye look older and even reduce vision.
One of the most frequent postoperative complications of this surgery is dry eye, especially if the patient experienced dry eye symptoms before.
Suggested Protocol
High thermal impact and therefore IPL is not to be used.
The recommended treatment consists of a combined Light Modulation® LLLT therapy employing both our Red and Yellow wavelength technology.
Yellow light has a specific action on the lymphatic system and stimulating cell metabolism promotes a detoxifying action to alleviate swelling and post-intervention oedema.
Red light on another hand accelerates and optimizes the eyelid surgical wound healing process by stimulating the production of collagen and elastin: it is absorbed by mitochondria and stimulates ATP by increasing and improving cellular activity.
