The Madonna Eye Lift is the procedure that uses CO2 laser technology to tighten eyelid skin. This is essentially a “laser peel” to tighten the eyelid skin. It is a safe and effective procedure that allows you to avoid a serious eyelid surgery. The Madonna eye lift is an eye lift non-surgery treatment to get rid of loose, lax skin and wrinkles around the eyes. Previously, this could only be achieved through eye surgery, which came with its own set of post-surgery complications, including scars. This method makes use of an advanced fractional CO2 laser that has been approved by the FDA. The laser effectively treats the skin and plumps up the wrinkles, tightens the skin, and lifts up the sagging brows to enhance the appearance of the patient. All of this is achieved without the need of any surgical incision.

The laser used consists of modulated beams of light – that are no more than the width of a human hair – to penetrate into the affected areas of the skin. The laser then destroys the old collagen within the skin and causes them to contract and tighten. While doing so, it also triggers our body’s natural healing process to make new collagen in the skin. Collagen is a substance that plays a vital role in maintaining the health of the skin. This complete process causes the wrinkles and saggy, lax skin around the eye to soften, tighten and plump up.

As the laser is fired the patient may experience slight tingling or heat on their skin. Prior to the treatment we apply topical anesthetic to prevent any discomfort. Pro-nox can also be used in addition to the treatment for anxiety relief.

The actual procedure takes no more than a few minutes. However, the preparation prior to the treatment needs additional time. For example, you will have to apply a topical anesthetic before the treatment to make sure that the whole procedure is as comfortable as possible. It’s best to ask a physician about the duration of the procedure in your case.

The number of treatments required differs from one person to another depending on the severity of the skin condition. The majority of patients start to see positive results from the first treatment; however, as many as 3 to 5 treatments are typically needed for full results.

The skin around the eyes is puffy and red immediately after the Madonna eye lift procedure. The best thing about this laser treatment is that makeup can be applied to hide the redness because there are no scars or open wounds.

The number of treatments required is variable, and it differs from one person to another depending on how many wrinkles and saggy skin they have around their eyes. The majority of patients start to see positive results from the first treatment; however, as many as 3 to 5 treatments are typically needed for full results to show up. Ask your physician about this and he or she will be able to tell you after thoroughly examining the area around your eyes.

The results are also variable and differ from one patient to another. However, the advanced laser causes the body to produce natural collagen to heal the skin. This means that you will see continued improvements for up to six months after the last procedure. The results tend to last for at least a few years and it is usually recommended that you follow recommended skin care and protect the treated skin from the sun by taking various preventive measures such as sunscreen lotions and sunglasses.
