Tired of looking tired, no matter how much sleep you get? The under-eye area is one of the first places to show signs of aging, sun damage, and stress. At Aesthetics MD in Newport Beach, our advanced CO2 laser treatments for the under eyes are designed to restore brightness, tighten sagging skin, and smooth away fine lines and wrinkles.
Whether you’re dealing with under-eye crepey skin, dark circles, or hollow tear troughs, this laser skin resurfacing treatment can deliver visible, lasting rejuvenation.
1. What Is CO2 Laser Treatment for Under Eyes?
CO2 (carbon dioxide) laser resurfacing uses precise beams of ablative laser energy to vaporize damaged skin cells and stimulate collagen production in the delicate eye area. At Aesthetics MD, we use the latest technology to safely treat the under-eye zone while minimizing recovery time.
Unlike over-the-counter eye creams or temporary fillers, CO2 laser resurfacing targets the skin at a deeper level, improving both tone and texture from the inside out. Results are often dramatic and long-lasting.
2. Top Benefits of CO2 Laser for Under Eyes
Here’s what makes under-eye CO2 laser resurfacing one of the most effective aesthetic treatments available:
1. Improves Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Laser energy stimulates new collagen and elastin, reducing crow’s feet, fine lines, and wrinkled skin under the eyes.
2. Tightens Sagging or Crepey Skin
By strengthening the skin’s underlying structure, CO2 laser helps tighten loose skin and minimize that crepey, thin appearance.
3. Reduces Dark Circles
Improved skin texture and circulation can help reduce pigmentation and shadowing caused by hollow under-eyes.
4. Enhances Skin Tone & Texture
CO2 laser resurfacing evens out skin tone, smooths rough texture, and restores a more radiant, youthful glow.
5. Boosts Long-Term Collagen Production
Patients continue to see improvement in the under eyes for months after treatment thanks to long-term collagen remodeling.
3. Why Choose CO2 Laser Over Other Eye Treatments?
When compared to chemical peels, microneedling, or injectable fillers, CO2 laser for under eyes offers a more comprehensive and longer-lasting result. While fillers may temporarily add volume, laser resurfacing addresses the quality of the skin itself, making it firmer, brighter, and more youthful.
And with Dr. Mark Anton’s team’s expertise in facial plastic surgery and laser technology, your treatment is tailored to match your skin type and cosmetic goals with precision and care.
4. What to Expect: The Healing Process & Aftercare
The recovery time for CO2 laser under eyes is typically 5–7 days, depending on the intensity of your treatment. You may experience redness, swelling, flaking, and tightness during the initial healing phase.
We provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to keep the area clean, moisturized, and protected from sun exposure. Most patients see visible improvement after a single session, although some may benefit from a series of treatments spaced several months apart.
5. Is CO2 Laser Safe for All Skin Types?
While CO2 laser treatments are safe and effective for many patients, those with darker skin tones may be at higher risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Alternatively, NeoGen Lift is ideal for patients of all skin colors; however, the right choice will be determined by your provider based on your skin type and unique goals.
That’s why every treatment at Aesthetics MD starts with a personalized consultation to determine the safest and most effective plan for your unique skin type, goals, and medical history.
