CO2 Therapy Procedure Details

Madonna Eye Lift

Hot Springs Surgery and Vein Clinic offers the revolutionary Madonna Eye Lift – the newest way to treat the wrinkles and saggy, lax skin around the eyes. Dr. Campbell uses the most advanced fractional CO2 laser to treat these problem areas. The fractional laser treats deep into the skin around your eyes to plump up wrinkles, tighten the skin, lift sagging brows and improve the appearance . . . all without any surgical incisions.

How does it work?

CO2 Therapy employs the latest fractional technology, which treats only a fraction of the skin at a time. The laser uses specially modulated beams of light about the width of a human hair, to penetrate into the skin. These beams of light destroy and contract the old collagen within the wrinkles to incite the body’s natural wound healing process creating new, youthful collagen in the skin. This causes the wrinkles around the eyes to tighten and soften.

What will it feel like?

You may feel tingling or heat in your skin as the laser is applied. However, any potential discomfort can be easily managed by the doctor. Numbing cream or other anesthetic may be used to make your treatment comfortable.

  • What will I look like after treatment?

    Your skin may be red and puffy after the procedure but this usually fades after a day. We provide detailed instructions to achieve optimum healing. Make-up can be applied on the day after treatment allowing you to resume your normal daily activities right away.

  • Is the procedure safe for my eyes?

    During the treatment, Dr. Campbell will protect your eyes with protective shields allowing for safe treatment of the lids and brow area.

  • How long will the results last?

    Results vary from patient to patient, but as your body continues to heal and create new strong, healthy and elastic collagen in your lids and eyes, you will continue to see improvement for up to four months after your last treatment. Results should last for several years but, as your skin continues to age, it is recommended you prolong the results with a good skin care regimen and daily protection from the sun.
