Combining Portrait Plasma with Fractionated Lasers

When it comes to the aging eye area, going under the knife is no longer the only option. According to the American Academy of Facial and Plastic Surgery, surgeons are seeing a more educated patient who is interested in non-surgical options to obtain the best results. One of the most requested aesthetic treatments is wrinkle reduction and tightening around the eyes and the excess tissue of the upper eyelid. For patients who experience sagging, droopy eye lids, wrinkles and puffiness, blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) is no longer the only option to obtain a more youthful eye area.
