Reveal Brighter, Smoother Skin Around the Eyes with Advanced Care

Rediscover a refreshed, more youthful appearance with our advanced non-surgical eye rejuvenation treatment, expertly designed to revitalize the delicate skin surrounding the eyes. This targeted procedure addresses early signs of aging, such as surface texture irregularities, visible folds, and reduced elasticity, by stimulating collagen and elastin production at the cellular level.

Using precise laser technology, the treatment visibly improves the firmness, tone, and radiance of the eye contour. Ideal for reducing crow’s feet, under-eye shadows, and drooping lids, it promotes healthy tissue regeneration and natural lifting effects for a noticeably smoother and more rested appearance.

At SKIN Clinics, we proudly serve Calgary and surrounding communities with dermatologist-led expertise in a luxurious, client-focused environment. Whether your goal is to refresh tired eyes or prevent premature aging, our personalized approach ensures results that feel just as good as they look.

How the Treatment Works Around the Eyes

Rediscover youthful radiance through our advanced eye contour laser therapy, a non-invasive solution tailored to address fine lines, crepiness, and skin laxity around the delicate eye area. By stimulating collagen and elastin at a cellular level, this treatment visibly softens wrinkles, lifts sagging skin, and enhances the overall texture, firmness, and glow of the periocular region.

Our non-surgical Laser Eye Resurfacing procedure is expertly designed to rejuvenate the entire outer eye zone, including the upper and lower eyelids, crow’s feet, and the area above the brow, right up to the lash line. This fully customizable treatment targets the skin’s deeper layers to encourage fresh, healthy tissue growth and long-lasting rejuvenation.

For your safety and comfort, the experience begins with numbing eye drops, followed by the gentle insertion of protective ocular shields beneath the lids. The laser then creates precise microchannels in the skin, a controlled process that activates your body’s natural wound-healing response. This is one of our most advanced and effective techniques for restoring firmness, smoothness, and resilience to the skin surrounding the eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What areas around the eyes are treated?

+ The entire periocular region is addressed, including the upper and lower eyelids, crow’s feet, areas above the brow, and right up to the lash line.

Are there any side effects or complications I should know about?

+ Some clients may experience temporary side effects like swelling, redness, or milia (tiny white bumps). Hyperpigmentation or, more rarely, hypopigmentation can also occur in the treated areas. These are normal risks with any laser-based procedure and are closely monitored by our expert team.

Is this treatment covered by insurance?

+ No. Laser Eye Resurfacing is considered a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance providers.

When is the best time of year to have this treatment?

+ We recommend scheduling during the fall or winter, when sun exposure is naturally lower. Regardless of timing, daily use of a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher is essential for maintaining results and protecting your skin.

Can both eyes be treated in one session?

+ Of course! Both eyes are typically treated in a single session using advanced laser technology to ensure symmetrical results and a smooth recovery process. Your dermatologist will discuss this with you during your consultation, emphasizing the importance of balanced treatment for optimal outcomes.

Does the procedure hurt?

+ Clients experience minimal discomfort during their laser eye treatment, thanks to the use of numbing drops. Any potential sensitivity post-treatment can be easily alleviated with over-the-counter relief, ensuring a comfortable and pain-free rejuvenation process for your eyes.

How soon can I return to wearing makeup after the procedure?

+ To maintain your skin’s radiance and health post-treatment, it is recommended to wait a minimum of 7 days before applying makeup to the treated area. This crucial healing period helps reduce the risk of irritation and infection, ensuring that your complexion remains flawless.

Is Laser Eye Resurfacing suitable for all skin types?

+ Unlock radiant skin with our tailored treatment, designed to suit various skin types. Schedule a consultation to evaluate your skin’s health, tone, and sensitivity. Our expert team will craft the safest and most effective plan just for you.

What’s the difference between Laser Eye Resurfacing and other eye rejuvenation treatments?

+ Laser Eye Resurfacing differs from topical creams or injectables by targeting deeper layers of the skin. This stimulates natural collagen renewal, improving firmness and texture in ways that surface treatments cannot.

Can this treatment be combined with other procedures?

+ Absolutely! Combine Laser Eye Resurfacing with neuromodulators or dermal fillers to achieve your desired look. Your dermatologist will create a personalized plan that caters specifically to your skin’s unique needs.

Fascinating Facts About Your Eye Area and Why It Ages First

Fact	Why It Matters
The skin around your eyes is up to 10 times thinner than the rest of your face.	This delicate structure makes it more prone to wrinkles, sagging, and early signs of aging.
Collagen production declines by your mid-20s.	As collagen decreases, skin loses firmness and elasticity, leading to fine lines and crepiness.
Laser resurfacing can increase dermal collagen by up to 40%.	This means smoother, firmer, and more rejuvenated skin over time.
The periocular region includes the lids, brow, crow’s feet, and under-eye area.	A comprehensive laser eye treatment targets all these zones for balanced, natural-looking results.
