The New Fractional Eyelift
Are you concerned about dark rings under the eyes, wrinkled and loose skin of the upper and lower eyelids? Are your eyebrows beginning to droop and make you look sad all the time? Well, the new Fractional Eyelift has arrived! Using the latest fractional laser resurfacing technology, Dr. Bruce Katz has pioneered this new procedure which is safe and effective with minimal downtime. It takes away dark rings and wrinkles, tightens upper and lower eyelid skin and helps to elevate drooping eyebrows. It has a good number of the benefits of a surgical eyelift without the risks and downtime. The only problem it doesn’t address is bulging fat pads. As metal eye shields are used during the procedure, there is no risk of injury to the eyes. Only a numbing cream is applied to the eyelids for anesthesia and three to five sessions are recommended at 2-3 week intervals.
With fractional laser resurfacing, the laser beam is broken into microscopic columns of laser light. When the beams strike, they leave normal surrounding skin areas intact so the outcome is very quick healing. These columns of laser light take away (or ablate) old, damaged collagen and elastic fibers so that new fresh tissue can grow into these channels. As this occurs, wrinkles and pigmentation are removed, skin tightens and the eyelids are rejuvenated. A recent study in over 300 patients showed consistent and very impressive results.

The Madonna Lift
What is the Madonna Lift?
The Madonna Lift is a new type of laser eyelift. It utilizes an innovative fractional CO2 laser which creates tiny microscopic channels in the tissue so that new collagen can grow in to rejuvenate the skin.
What does the Madonna Lift do?
It dramatically reduces the appearance of dark rings and wrinkles while tightening eyelid skin and elevating drooping eyebrows.
How does the Madonna Lift work?
It works by utilizing a new fractional CO2 laser technology. Laser beam-like columns are created in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact. These beams eradicate damaged collagen and elastic fibers so that fresh skin with renewed elasticity can grow back in its place. Because only a “fraction” of the skin is affected, healing is very quick and virtually painless. Therefore, it mimics the results previously realized only through eyelid surgery, without the risks and downtime!
How do I know if I’m a candidate?
If you have wrinkles around the eyes, loose eyelid skin, crow’s feet, dark circles or drooping eyebrows, you are a candidate.
Do you have to be a certain age?
Age is not an issue. It depends on the changes around the eyes.
Will the laser work on darker skin?
In most cases, it works very well on darker skin. However, to be on the safe side, we do a test spot in the eyelid area first to be sure there is no change in pigmentation.
Do I have to stay out of the sun prior to laser treatment?
No. But one should wear a sunscreen after the Madonna Lift as is the case after any laser treatment.
How many sessions are needed?
The number of sessions depends on the individual changes present. On average, most people need between 3-5 sessions.
How long in between each treatment?
We usually space sessions at 2-3 week intervals
How many days of downtime?
Most people are a little red and puffy for a day or two. However, one can apply make-up right after the treatment to hide redness.
How long will the results last?
As new collagen is produced, we expect the results to last for at least several years. But as the technology is so new, it is difficult to be sure at this point.
Are there any other treatments and/or injectables I should be using to prolong my results (such as Botox)?
Botox can be injected after the Madonna Lift to help prolong the results.
" The Madonna Lift" Fractional Eyelift Procedure
“The Madonna Lift” fractional eyelift procedure, pioneered by Bruce Katz, M.D. of New York’s Juva Skin & Laser Center, uses fractional CO2 laser resurfacing technology to replace traditional eyelid surgery.
Fractional CO2 works by using laser beam-like columns, targeting a very specific area while leaving surrounding tissue intact. These beams eradicate damaged fibers in the skin and encourage new tissue with fresh elasticity to grow back in its place. Because the whole of the skin is not affected, healing is quick and far less painful than other procedures.
(PRWEB) – Bruce Katz, M.D. of Juva Skin and Laser Center, working with fractional CO2 technology previously used for fractional laser resurfacing treatments, has pioneered “The Madonna Lift,” a new fractional eyelift procedure that acts as a safe and effective alternative to traditional eyelid surgery. Since receiving FDA clearance in 2004, fractional laser resurfacing has benefited millions of patients. The Madonna Lift will increase that number.
“The Madonna fractional eyelift dramatically reduces the appearance of dark circles and eye wrinkles, tightens upper and lower eyelid skin, and helps to elevate drooping eyebrows,” said Dr. Katz. “It has a number of the benefits of a surgical eyelift without the risks and downtime. The only problem it doesn’t address is bulging fat pads. Metal eye shields are used during treatment to protect a patient’s eyes from injury. The only anesthesia needed for the procedure is a numbing cream that is applied to the eyelids; as a result, downtime is minimal.
“A recent study of fractional eyelifts involving more than 100 participants showed dramatic and consistent results,” added Dr. Katz. “In order to achieve the best results from the Madonna Lift, I would recommend between three and five sessions, delivered at two- to three-week intervals.”
