Periorbital Rejuvenation: The 1470 nm Non-Ablative Fractional Protocol

The eye area is where aggressive devices cause the most trouble and conservative devices earn the most loyalty. Non-ablative 1470 nm fractional work occupies the sweet spot: real texture improvement around the eyelids with days — not weeks — of recovery.

Why 1470 nm for the Eye Zone

• Water-targeted coagulation without ablation — intact epidermis, no open wounds on thin eyelid skin
• Controlled depths suited to periorbital thickness where ablative CO2 risks scarring and ectropion
• Fine handpieces designed for eyelid anatomy

The Protocol

1. Ophthalmic screening: dry eye, recent surgery, lid malposition — refer the abnormal
2. 3 sessions at 4-6 week intervals, conservative density on lower lids
3. Expected course: 1-3 days of mild swelling, up to a week of fine redness; results accumulate to week 12

Where It Fits Against Alternatives

Wrinkle-relaxers handle dynamic lines, surgery handles severe laxity — 1470 fractional owns the middle: crepey texture, fine lines, early hooding in clients who will not accept ablative downtime. The BB Laser 1470 nm platform was engineered for exactly this zone; combine with the actives resume timeline so clients do not undo results with day-3 retinol.
