Updated: 27.10.2026.<\/p>\n<\/div> In short<\/p>\n<\/div> Eyelid tightening can be successfully achieved without the need for painful and expensive surgical interventions. The non-surgical method of eyelid tightening using a CO2 laser is both effective and painless. It allows us to effectively remove excess skin on the eyelids, eliminate wrinkles around the eyes, and restore a youthful appearance to the face. A youthful and radiant face with toned and glowing facial skin is something many of us desire. With proper care, we can strive to maintain a youthful appearance for as long as possible. However, the effects of aging will inevitably start to show on our faces, such as wrinkles, dry skin, and dark circles. \u201cRealistic expectations are a precondition for satisfaction. The laser can improve skin quality, soften fine wrinkles and provide mild tightening.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div> DOCTOR’S ADVICE \u00b7 DR MILO\u0160 \u017dIVKOVI\u0106<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div> Drooping eyelids, particularly the upper eyelids, can pose not only an aesthetic concern but also functional and health problems. The presence of excess skin on the upper eyelids can lead to a narrowing of the field of vision. Patients may compensate for this by raising their eyebrows<\/a>, which can contribute to the deepening of forehead wrinkles. Additionally, the excess skin may push the eyelashes towards the eye, leading to increased tearing and various eye irritations.<\/p>\n There are three main types of drooping eyelids:<\/p>\n When we are dissatisfied with our appearance and bothered by loose skin on the eyelids, which affects our self-confidence, it is time to take action. Shallow and expression lines around the eyes can be effectively eliminated using Botox<\/a>. On the other hand, the best solution for filling sunken dark circles is hyaluronic fillers. The CO2 laser is an essential tool in aesthetic and anti-aging medicine. It offers skin rejuvenation and effectively addresses issues such as scars<\/a>, stretch marks<\/a>, and hyperpigmentation<\/a>. It targets wrinkles, restores skin elasticity, and delivers excellent results for the removal of excess skin on the lower eyelids. Due to the thin and sensitive nature of eyelid skin, a less invasive approach is required compared to other facial areas. The Candela CO2 laser is gentle on the patient’s skin, ensuring a safe and comfortable treatment experience.<\/p>\n Here are the three key advantages of the CO2 laser:<\/p>\n When discussing eyelid tightening, it is important to highlight that the CO2 laser is highly effective and the preferred solution for addressing mild to moderate excess skin on the lower eyelids. Smaller amounts of excess skin on the upper eyelids can also be treated with the laser. However, for larger amounts of excess skin, surgical intervention remains necessary.<\/p>\n<\/div> The Candela CO2 laser utilizes a dual laser wave that targets both the surface layer (epidermis) and the deeper layer (dermis) of the skin simultaneously. The laser beam generates controlled heat in the deeper skin layers, triggering the production of collagen and elastin. This process leads to tighter and more resilient skin. One of the key advantages of laser eyelid tightening is the shorter recovery period, while the results are long-lasting. Everything begins with a consultation with the patient and an examination conducted by our doctors. Once the patient communicates their expectations, a treatment plan is formulated in collaboration with the doctor. Every laser treatment<\/a> necessitates specific preparation. Refrain from using photosensitizing medications for at least 72 hours prior to the procedure. Four weeks before the treatment, avoid deep peels, chemical peels of the face, and prolonged sun exposure. Inform your doctor if you are undergoing any other therapies.<\/p>\n On the first day, the eyelid skin may appear swollen, red, and tight. The swelling usually subsides by the second day. On the third day, the skin may take on a brownish hue and begin to peel, a process that generally concludes by the fifth day. The skin may remain slightly red for an additional day or two, and makeup can be used to conceal it.<\/p>\n Typically, two to four treatments are necessary, depending on the skin condition and the extent of excess skin on the eyelids. There should be a gap of one and a half to two months between each treatment. Thus, commencing the treatments at the start of autumn is advisable, as it allows the skin on the eyelids to be tightened and rejuvenated by spring. Noticeable improvements can be observed after the first treatment, and greater enhancements are usually noticed following the second treatment. Over the subsequent months, healthy, youthful skin cells are generated, while collagen and elastin synthesis significantly improves the quality of the skin around the eyes. The skin becomes regenerated, tightened, and radiant.<\/p>\n<\/div> The CO2 laser is highly effective in addressing mild to moderate excess skin on the eyelids, offering the following benefits:<\/p>\n To get a better understanding of the lower eyelid tightening treatment, you can watch the video below.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or dermatologist to determine if laser treatment is suitable for your specific situation, taking into account any contraindications and potential risks.<\/p>\n<\/div> We can only apply laser tightening for slight excess skin on the upper eyelids, but it is important to have realistic expectations. Achieving satisfactory results with laser methods for the upper eyelids is more challenging compared to the lower eyelids. Typically, an improvement of around 20 percent can be expected for the upper eyelids. Proper care and suitable treatments are essential for maintaining a tight and youthful appearance of the skin around the eyes. We recommend several treatments that can help improve the skin’s appearance:<\/p>\n By incorporating these treatments into your skincare routine, you can enhance the appearance of the skin around your eyes and maintain a youthful and taut look for a longer period.<\/p>\n<\/div> The prices of all our services, including laser eyelid tightening, can be found on the Pricelist<\/u><\/a> page.

<\/span><\/div>Why does the skin on the eyelids sag?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>
\nThe skin around the eyes is particularly delicate and sensitive, making any changes in this area more noticeable. The first signs of aging, like smile lines, may appear around the eyes as early as the age of 25. As time goes by, the loss of subcutaneous tissue can lead to the formation of dark circles and sunken areas. Some individuals may also experience eye area swelling, the formation of bags, and swollen eyelids.
\nExcess skin on the eyelids, known as dermatochalasis, primarily occurs due to the weakening of the eyelid tissue’s elasticity. While it is more commonly associated with aging, there are no strict rules. Even individuals in their early thirties can notice sagging skin on the eyelids, and the causes can vary.<\/p>\nFactors contributing to sagging eyelid skin include:<\/h3>\n

When is it time for laser eyelid tightening?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>
\nBut how can we successfully address excess skin on the eyelids? For a long time, surgical eyelid tightening was the only option, but many patients opted out due to the high cost and potential risks involved. Laser eyelid tightening with the fractional Candela CO2 laser<\/a> is the only effective<\/a> non-surgical solution for removing excess skin on the eyelids.
\nBefore looking into how this laser works and the results it achieves, we would like to share the wonderful experience of our patient, Daniela. She chose to address the issue of excess eyelid skin using this method. As a woman in her early forties, Daniela sought an anti-aging treatment that would regenerate her skin, slow down the aging process, and eliminate minor excess skin around her eyes. We successfully achieved that! Daniela’s before-and-after photos speak volumes, and you can view them here. Additionally, you can also see the experience of our patient, Biljana, with eyelid tightening using the CO2 laser here<\/a>.

<\/span><\/div>How does the CO2 laser tighten the eyelids?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>
\nThe CO2 laser treatment starts with an ablative procedure, which involves removing a thin, superficial layer of damaged skin. Subsequently, the laser creates microchannels in the deeper skin layers, applying heat to stimulate collagen production and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells. The laser specifically targets the damaged skin, leaving the surrounding healthy tissue unaffected. This targeted approach enables faster healing and significantly reduces the recovery time.<\/p>\n<\/div>Laser eyelid tightening – treatment, preparation, recovery?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>
\nThe procedure commences with cleansing the skin, followed by the application of an anesthetic cream that takes effect for approximately one hour. Subsequently, the CO2 laser treatment, lasting approximately 20-30 minutes, is initiated. The treatment itself is nearly painless, with patients experiencing only a mild tingling sensation.
\nAfter the treatment, the skin may appear red and slightly swollen. The doctor will provide recommendations for proper skincare, including the mandatory application of a regenerative cream and the avoidance of intense sunlight. As a result, these treatments are typically performed from autumn to early spring. It is important to adhere to the guidelines provided by the doctor after laser eyelid tightening to ensure a smooth and swift recovery process.<\/p>\nHow to prepare for the treatment?<\/h3>\n

Is laser tightening of the upper eyelids possible?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>
\nUnfortunately, despite the advancements in aesthetic medicine, there is currently no effective non-surgical solution for significant excess skin on the upper eyelids. According to Dr. Milo\u0161 \u017divkovi\u0107<\/a>, our doctor, the only long-term solution for excess skin on the upper eyelids is blepharoplasty, which is a surgical procedure. Blepharoplasty involves removing excess skin and sometimes a portion of fatty tissue and muscle on the upper eyelids.<\/p>\n<\/div>How to improve the appearance of the skin around the eyes?<\/h2><\/h2><\/div>
