Eyelid Lift
Heavy, sagging eyelids don’t just affect how you look—they can change how you feel in your skin. Whether you’ve noticed drooping over time or you’re tired of looking more tired than you are, eyelid lifting doesn’t always require surgery. At Little Laser Clinic in Long Island City, we offer non-surgical eyelid lifts using Sofwave and CO2 laser resurfacing to restore lift, firmness, and clarity to the eye area with minimal downtime.
Christine Chen, PA-C, has over a decade of experience in dermatology and aesthetics. Her approach to the delicate eye area is conservative, precise, and deeply informed by skin biology. Treatments are tailored to your unique anatomy and goals, allowing you to refresh your appearance without altering what makes you, you.
Non-surgical options using Sofwave and/or CO2 laser
Treats hooded upper lids, under-eye crepiness, and fine lines
Stimulates collagen for a natural lift over time, and is suitable for all skin tones with personalized settings
Minimal downtime and no incisions
A non-surgical eyelid lift uses energy-based devices like ultrasound (Sofwave) and fractional laser (CO2) to firm and tighten the skin around the upper and lower eyelids—without incisions, stitches, or surgical recovery.
These treatments can be performed separately or in combination, depending on your skin tone, concerns, and preference for downtime. At Little Laser Clinic, we typically use:
Delivers focused ultrasound waves to the mid-dermis, stimulating collagen and gently lifting the upper eyelids and brows.
Targets surface texture and fine lines on the lower lids and crow’s feet, improving crepiness and skin quality. It also tightens by triggering collagen remodeling in the treated area.
We will evaluate your eye area during your consultation and design a personalized treatment plan. On the day of the procedure:
Both treatments are performed in-office with no general anesthesia. Most clients are in and out in under an hour.
We use eyelid lifting treatments to improve:
We will let you know if non-surgical treatment is appropriate or if referral for surgical blepharoplasty is more appropriate for your anatomy.
Clients love eyelid lifting treatments because they improve the appearance of the eye area without dramatic changes. Benefits include:
Best of all, results are gradual and natural—you’ll still look like yourself, just more rested.
This treatment is ideal for adults with:
A non-surgical eyelid lift may not be right for patients with severe eyelid drooping, significant fat pad protrusion, or those needing surgical correction. Christine Chen, PA-C, will assess your eye area and recommend the most appropriate option.
Recovery depends on the treatment:
Aftercare includes gentle cleansing, hydration, and sun protection. Christine will provide a full recovery plan based on your skin type and intensity of treatment.
Results depend on the treatment:
Both options stimulate collagen, so results are long-lasting, typically 12+ months or longer with proper skincare and occasional maintenance.
Many clients choose to repeat treatment annually to maintain lift and smoothness in the eye area.
Christine Chen, PA-C, understands that the eye area requires precision—not power. With her background in dermatology and aesthetics, she treats eyelid laxity with clinical knowledge and an artistic eye, ensuring your skin improves without overcorrection.
Her comfort treating skin of color, thinner skin, and sensitive eye zones means you’re always in good hands—especially when the details matter most.
Yes. Sofwave delivers ultrasound energy that stimulates collagen in the upper eyelid and brow area, resulting in subtle lifting and firmness over time.
Yes, when performed by an experienced provider. Christine uses low-density, targeted passes to improve texture while minimizing risk to the delicate skin.
It depends on your concerns. Sofwave targets lift and firmness; CO2 laser focuses on texture and lines. Many clients benefit from both.
Botox can help lift the brow slightly, but Sofwave and CO2 laser improve skin quality and structure—making them great for addressing deeper causes of sagging.
Sofwave results appear gradually over 6–12 weeks. CO2 results become visible as skin heals within 1–2 weeks, then continue improving over months.
Numbing is applied before both treatments. Sofwave may feel warm, and CO2 can cause mild tingling. Most clients find both very tolerable.
Results are long-lasting but not permanent. You may choose to repeat Sofwave annually or CO2 laser every 1–2 years for maintenance.
Yes, for mild to moderate laxity. For more severe drooping or fat pads, surgery may be more effective. We will guide you based on your anatomy.
Sofwave has no downtime. CO2 laser may require a few days of healing, especially if the lower eyelids are treated.
Yes! Many clients combine eyelid lifting with microneedling, PRF, or injectables for full-face rejuvenation.
