Laser Eyelid Lift Without Surgery: Alma Opus

What is an eyelid lift?

As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes can loosen causing the eyelid to droop. In extreme cases, this may even affect vision. Aging can also cause wrinkles, known as crow’s feet, to appear at the outer corners of the eyes. Using energy-based technology causes the skin to contract, resulting in lifting of eyelids and fading of crow’s feet. Often searched as a laser eyelid lift, the Alma Opus treatment uses fractional plasma energy rather than a cutting laser to tighten eyelid skin without surgery.

Is an eyelid lift right for you?

An eyelid lift can tighten loose skin of the eyelids and smooth out wrinkles that appear around the eyes as we age, giving mature skin a younger look.

How does it work?

The energy used by the device creates heat points or ‘micro injuries’ at various depths of the skin, which are usually invisible to the naked eye. These ‘injuries’ stimulate the body’s natural healing response, and the subsequent production of healthy collagen and elastin fibers to lift and smooth out the skin, enhancing natural beauty.

Eyelid lift: questions patients ask

How does a non-surgical eyelid lift work?

Alma Opus delivers fractional plasma energy to the thin skin of the upper and lower eyelids, tightening it as it heals. PrimeX radiofrequency can be used around the eye area to firm the surrounding skin.

Is it safe near the eyes?

Treatment is performed by trained practitioners with eye protection in place. Your practitioner will assess whether you are suitable and whether a surgical opinion is more appropriate for heavy hooding.

What does it feel like?

Numbing cream is applied first. Most people describe a warm, prickling sensation for a few minutes.

How many sessions?

Often one to three sessions spaced about a month apart, with tightening developing over two to three months.

Is there downtime?

Expect swelling for a day or two and small dots or light crusting for several days. Makeup can usually be worn after the skin has settled.

How much does it cost?

Set by the clinic. Alma Lasers Australia does not set treatment prices.
