Bloodless blepharoplasty refers to a non-surgical approach to eyelid rejuvenation that aims to improve the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids without the need for traditional incisions or stitches. This procedure is typically performed using advanced technologies such as lasers or plasma devices.

Procedure

• Consultation: Patients meet with a qualified practitioner to discuss concerns, goals, and suitability for bloodless blepharoplasty.
• Preparation: Before treatment, the area around the eyes is cleansed and numbed with a topical anesthetic cream.
• Treatment: The selected energy-based device (e.g., laser, plasma) is used to target specific areas of the eyelids. This can include tightening loose skin, reducing wrinkles, or addressing puffiness.
• Recovery: After the procedure, patients may experience mild swelling or redness, but downtime is typically minimal compared to surgery.
• Results: Over time, patients should notice improvements in eyelid appearance, with increased skin firmness and reduced signs of aging.
