Non-Surgical Management of the Periorbital Area

Abstract

Non-surgical rejuvenation of the periorbital area is becoming increasingly popular given the downtime and risks associated with surgical procedures. Dermabrasion and chemical peels were first used along with neuromodulators and dermal fillers. Over the past few decades, laser treatments have emerged as the gold standard for periorbital skin resurfacing. The laser treatments are categorized by ablative and non-ablative lasers and further subcategorized into fractionated and non-fractionated lasers. Radiofrequency-based devices have also emerged as a beneficial non-surgical treatment for the periorbital area. Within this section, the authors explore the various non-surgical treatments for periorbital rejuvenation.
