Nonsurgical Light and Energy-Based Devices: Utility in Eyelid and Periorbital Surgery

Periorbital rejuvenation is a common reason for patients to seek cosmetic treatment. There are several nonsurgical light and energy-based devices available to treat various aspects of periorbital rejuvenation without risks of an invasive, surgical procedure. Although ablative laser resurfacing appears to offer the most impressive clinical improvements, nonablative devices result in noticeable cosmetic improvement with more favorable side-effect profiles and shorter recovery times. The specific modality selected for periorbital rejuvenation should be tailored to patients' individual characteristics, preferences, and aesthetic goals. With continued advancements, additional nonsurgical light and energy-based devices will become available in the future for periorbital rejuvenation.
