Abstract

Abstract: Drooping of the upper eyelid and eyebrow (ptosis) is common among people and cause the patients dissatisfaction. Various methods have been developed to treatment of the upper eyelid and eyebrow ptosis. However, the current methods focus on surgery to improve the disorder. But patients are worried about the risks of the procedure, and seeking for a non‐invasive alternative method. Therefore, non‐invasive methods with consistent efficient improvement are needed, especially for middle‐aged patients. This study was conducted of 9 patients who underwent the upper eyelid and eyebrow ptosis. Endolift laser method was used to treat the patients' upper eyelid and eyebrow ptosis. The biometric assessment was used to evaluate the efficiency of the technique. Also the results were evaluated by 3 board‐certified dermatologists (blind). Additionally, patients' satisfaction was evaluated at the end of the treatment. The biometric results showed that Endolift laser can increase the thickness, density, and elasticity of the skin in the eyelid area. The patient's satisfaction results showed excellent improvement in the 90% of patients. The results by the dermatologist displayed improvement in about 90% of patient. Endolift laser has been proved efficient and consistent for upper eyelid and eyebrow ptosis rejuvenation and treatment.
