Some of the benefits of CO2 laser blepharoplasty include: Minimized bleeding – As the laser beam vaporizes tissue, it seals small blood vessels. Reduced bleeding makes laser blepharoplasty surgery faster and easier for the surgeon. Reduced risk of scarring – Areas that are touched by the CO2 laser beam heal with less wound contraction and scarring due to the reduced amount of myofibroblasts formed at the surgical site. Less swelling and discomfort – The CO2 laser beam seals lymphatics which result in less post-operative swelling and discomfort. Faster recovery time – Reduced trauma, minimized bleeding, less pain and swelling lead to faster initial recovery times.
