Better Together - Sciton MicroLaserPeel with TRL During Your Blepharoplasty

At Plastic Surgery Associates of South Dakota, we believe in comprehensive, results-driven care that enhances both your appearance and your confidence. If you’re considering eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), there’s an exciting opportunity to maximize your rejuvenation by pairing it with a Sciton MicroLaserPeel and TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) Eyes and Mouth add-on.

Together, these treatments address not only excess skin and puffiness around the eyes but also fine lines, sun damage, and skin texture concerns — leaving you with smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

What Is a Sciton MicroLaserPeel?

The Sciton MicroLaserPeel is a precise, erbium laser skin resurfacing treatment that removes the outermost layers of damaged skin to reveal a fresh, healthy complexion underneath. Often referred to as the "weekend peel," it offers noticeable improvements in skin tone, texture, and clarity with minimal downtime compared to deeper laser treatments.This customizable treatment targets:

• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Sun damage and pigmentation
• Mild acne scarring

What Does the TRL Eyes and Mouth Add-On Do?

The TRL (Tunable Resurfacing Laser) Eyes and Mouth add-on is a focused laser resurfacing treatment specifically designed to address stubborn lines and crepey skin around the delicate areas of the eyes and mouth — where aging often shows first and most prominently.Benefits include:

• Smoothing fine lines like crow’s feet and lip lines
• Tightening loose, thin skin around the eyes and mouth
• Improving skin texture and pigmentation in these targeted areas

Why Combine These Treatments with Blepharoplasty?Blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) effectively removes excess skin and fat around the upper and/or lower eyelids, restoring a more rested, youthful appearance. However, while surgery corrects structural concerns, it doesn’t address the quality of the skin itself — this is where laser treatments shine.

By combining a Sciton MicroLaserPeel with TRL Eyes and Mouth during your blepharoplasty surgery, you can:

✅ Address both skin laxity and skin quality in a single surgical setting
✅ Reduce overall downtime by healing from both procedures simultaneously
✅ Enhance and prolong your surgical results
✅ Treat fine lines, texture issues, and sun damage in areas beyond the eyelids

Patients love this combination because it delivers a beautifully refreshed appearance — lifting droopy eyelids, smoothing fine lines, and revealing a healthy, radiant glow.

What to Expect

Since these treatments can be performed at the same time as your blepharoplasty surgery, you’ll experience just one recovery period. Typical downtime ranges from 5-7 days, depending on the depth of the peel and areas treated. You can expect some redness, swelling, and peeling during the initial recovery, followed by progressive improvements in skin texture and tone over the following weeks.

Is This Combination Right for You?

If you’ve noticed sagging, puffiness, and lines around your eyes, combined with dull, uneven skin tone and fine lines elsewhere on your face, this combination treatment might be an excellent option for you. Our experienced providers will assess your skin and aesthetic goals to create a tailored treatment plan designed for beautiful, natural-looking results.
