A New Era of Eyelid Rejuvenation in Denver
Patients looking for eyelid surgery in Denver, Colorado are increasingly interested in approaches that deliver powerful results with less downtime. One innovative option is the combination of UltraClear laser skin resurfacing with in-office upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
Dr. Chris Thiagarajah MD, a fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon in Denver, has been at the forefront of eyelid rejuvenation. By pairing precise eyelid skin removal with advanced laser technology, he helps patients achieve a smoother, refreshed, and more youthful look—without the extended recovery often associated with traditional surgery alone.
What Is the UltraClear Laser?
The UltraClear laser is a state-of-the-art fractional laser designed to:
Smooth fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes
Improve skin tone and texture
Stimulate collagen production for long-term tightening
Minimize pigmentation changes and sun damage
Unlike older resurfacing lasers, UltraClear is engineered for comfort, quicker healing, and safe use around delicate eyelid skin.
What Is In-Office Upper Eyelid Blepharoplasty?
Upper eyelid blepharoplasty, or an eyelid lift, is one of the most common procedures Dr. Thiagarajah performs. In an in-office setting under local anesthesia:
Excess eyelid skin is conservatively removed (typically 2–6 millimeters)
The incision is hidden in the natural eyelid crease
Patients remain comfortable and avoid general anesthesia
Recovery is quicker compared to hospital-based procedures
Why Combine UltraClear Laser with Upper Eyelid Surgery?
Dr. Thiagarajah often recommends pairing UltraClear laser treatment with eyelid surgery for enhanced results. The benefits include:
Comprehensive rejuvenation: Skin excision lifts the lid, while laser resurfacing smooths fine lines and crepey texture.
Natural appearance: Instead of removing too much skin, the laser tightens and improves quality, reducing the risk of hollowing or overcorrection.
Improved healing: Fractional laser energy stimulates collagen, which supports better wound healing and scar refinement.
Convenience: Both procedures can be performed in-office during the same session, minimizing downtime.
