Dear Dr Seckel. Thank you for the input you gave me regarding my blepharoplasty questions. I have a brown skin type 3 or 4 and the doctor suggested that she would use profile sciton contour TM Microlaserpeel® to tighten the skin around the eyes. How many treatments are required for actual results and is it safe for my skin type? How long do the results last? She told me the tiny bag under one eye would not be noticeable if I went ahead with the treatment. Does that sound right? I did the snap test myself and the skin did snap back instantly. Although the wrinkles here are of less concern and the slight bag under one eye more so? How deep can she go with the laser for it to be effective. I only have a tiny bit of lax skin so I would consider secondary surgery with caution. She did say she could take the slight bit of fat out by transconjunctival surgery if needed later on. I would appreciate your advice. Harmohan

Since I have not examined you personally I cannot give specific recommendations for your treatment. Since you have seen a plastic surgeon who uses the Sciton® microlaserpeel laser skin rejuvenation technique you must depend on her advice for your treatment.
I can however speak generally about my approach to eyelid rejuvenation using the Sciton® microlaserpeel [...]
