After double eyelid surgery, many people may be concerned about redness, bruising, or visible surgical scars. They may also want to shorten the recovery period and achieve a natural-looking result as quickly as possible. Proper care of the delicate skin around the eyes after surgery is therefore an important part of the recovery process that should not be overlooked.
This article will introduce the Pico Eye program, including what it is, what problems it can help, who it is suitable for, when is the appropriate time to undergo this procedure, and how to care for treated areas after this program.
What is the Pico Eye Program?
Pico Eye is a laser program specifically designed to care for and rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes after double eyelid surgery. It focuses on reducing redness and making surgical scars less visible. Moreover, it helps smoothing skin around the eyes during the recovery period.
How Does Pico Eye Program Work?
This program uses Pico Plus laser energy at a wavelength of 595 nm, which is specifically suited for targeting redness and blood vessels beneath the skin. The laser delivers energy in picosecond pulses, allowing it to precisely target the areas requiring treatment. As the energy is delivered in extremely short pulses, it minimizes the amount of heat buildup on the skin surface and reduces the impact on surrounding skin.
What Problems Can Pico Eye Program Help With?
- Helps reduce the appearance of redness after surgery.
- Helps surgical scars appear smoother and less noticeable.
- Helps the skin around the eyes appear to recover more quickly after surgery.
- Helps reduce the appearance of bruising or dark circles caused by surgery.
- Stimulates collagen production, helping the skin around the eyes appear firmer.
Who is This Program Suitable for?
- People who have recently undergone double eyelid surgery, whose incisions are healing well, and who want post-surgical redness to fade more quickly.
- Those concerned about visible surgical scars want them to appear smoother and less noticeable.
- Individuals experiencing bruising or dark circles under the eyes after surgery.
- Those who have passed the initial swelling stage (e.g., after undergoing the Indiba Eye program to reduce swelling) and are ready to proceed with scar recovery.
When Should You Get Pico Eye Program After Double Eyelid Surgery?
Steps to care for skin around the eyes:
- Post-operative care: Follow your care tips during the recovery period. Avoid touching the surgical area, getting incision wet, or applying pressure on the area.
- Suture removal: Sutures should be removed according to the schedule recommended by your surgeon, typically around 9 days after surgery.
- Indiba Eye Program: Helps reduce swelling and stimulate blood circulation, promoting a faster recovery.
- Pico Eye Program: Once the incision has healed well, with no bleeding or fluid discharge, the patients can undergo this program to reduce redness and make the surgical scars appear less visible.
**Recovery time varies from person to person. It is recommended to consult your surgeon to assess your readiness before proceeding with each stage.
What To Do Before Pico Eye Program

What To Do After Pico Eye Program
- Avoid washing your face approximately 24 hours after treatment. After that, you can use facial cleanser for sensitive skin.

- Do not pick the scab and let it fall off naturally on its own, as it may increase skin infection, dark spot, and prolonged redness.
