Yes, but the results vary, depending on the kind of laser used.
One approach, discovered in a small study of 31 patients, is to use a "nonablative," or nondamaging, laser. Doctors found that patients who were getting a full-face treatment emerged with somewhat tighter upper and lower eyelids, although that was not the purpose of the treatment.
The procedure seemed to stimulate new collagen formation, which in turn tightens up eyelid skin, although in many cases only slightly, reported Dr. Roy G. Geronemus of the Laser & Skin Surgery Center of New York. He led the study and owns stock in the laser company (formerly called Reliant, now Solta Medical Inc.). The procedure, not covered by insurance, costs "a few hundred dollars," he said.
