Purpose
To present the clinical applications and benefits of modern laser technologies and radiofrequency in aesthetic oculoplastic procedures.
Methods
The use of picosecond lasers, broad-spectrum intense pulsed light (DVL), neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd:YAG), erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Er:YAG), CO₂ lasers, and 4 Hz radiofrequency was reviewed. Clinical applications were categorized based on type of treatment, including upper eyelid blepharoplasty, eyelid rejuvenation, skin resurfacing, lesion removal, and treatment of vascular and pigmentary conditions.
Results
CO₂ lasers and radiofrequency are commonly used in upper eyelid blepharoplasty, tailored to the surgeon’s preference. Ablative Er:YAG and CO₂ lasers, as well as non-ablative picosecond lasers, are effective in skin resurfacing. The Er:YAG laser provides excellent precision and safety in the removal of benign skin lesions such as xanthelasma, verrucae, fibromas, and sebaceous gland hyperplasia. DVL and Nd:YAG lasers effectively address vascular and pigmentary lesions, including erythema, rosacea, and hyperpigmentation.
Conclusion
Integrating laser technologies into oculoplastic practice enhances therapeutic precision, improves patient comfort, and reduces recovery time. These modalities serve as valuable complements to surgical techniques. Combining classical surgical approaches with modern hi-tech solutions significantly elevates both treatment efficacy and procedural safety.
