Abstract

The periorbital area is one of the most sensitive areas in the face, and many techniques are used to change the eyelid laxity and position of the eyebrows. Recently the use of noninvasive or minimally invasive techniques is developed so, the amount of surgical procedures has decreased. In the present study. We evaluate the effect of Endolift laser as a non-invasive method on upper eyelid laxity and eyebrow position. Nine patients underwent Endolift laser and evaluated for eyelid laxity and change in eyebrow position. Two blinded physicians assessed the cosmetic outcome of improvement in upper eyelid tightening via photography 6 months post-treatment. The physicians evaluated the patient's improvement degree using the photographs by two clinical factors: skin laxity and total cosmetic result. Also, eyebrow height from the center of the pupil (CPEBH), Central eyebrow height (CEBH), Lateral eyebrow height (LEBH), Medial eyebrow height (MEBH) were measured by ImagJ before and 6 months post Endolift laser treatment. Our results showed eyelid laxity and eyebrow height were significantly changed after treatment.

Keywords: endolift laser; eyebrow position; treatment; upper eyelid laxity.
