All About The Eyes: Our Top Treatments and Products to Refresh The Eye Area
If you’re anything like us, you know how it is when your new favorite Netflix show just cannot wait and MUST be finished in one sitting (even if that means staying up until the wee hours!) Fast forward to the next morning and our tired eyes are telling ALL our secrets and showing just how exhausted we are! We all know that the eyes are one of the first things people notice about us, and we’re all about making your first impression a good one! Today we’re highlighting our top treatments for brighter, refreshed eyes so no matter how late you stayed up binging Netflix shows!
Toxins and Fillers for younger eyes
These two might as well be butter and popcorn because their effect on the eye area perfectly complement each other to revitalize, add back lost volume, prevent and correct fine lines and wrinkles! Muscle relaxers like Dysport® and BOTOX® Cosmetic help soften and smooth crow’s feet on the sides of the eyes, while our delicate fillers including JUVEDERM®, Restylane®, Radiesse® and more add back lost volume to the undereye area and cover those dreaded dark under-eye circles. What we love about this dynamic duo is that while they provide immediate results from the look of tired, aging eyes, they also work to prevent the onset of premature aging! Our fillers are comprised of hyaluronic acid, naturally occurring in the body, and studies have shown this pillowy lubricant to further activate collagen while toxins help relax muscle movement in our most wrinkle-prone areas of the face. . . preventing new wrinkles from ever taking hold!
How can microneedling help the skin around your eyes.
While toxins and filler help relax wrinkle-including muscles and fill in volume loss, we love utilizing microneeding for encouraging collagen and elastin production from the ground up! The reduction in fibroblast cells (which make up collagen proteins) that we all experience as we age are no match to the stimulation and regeneration that microneedling brings! Our SkinPen® is a hand-controlled device with tiny, shallow needles that puncture the outer layer of your skin to create a controlled skin injury, triggering new collagen and elastin production. This rejuvenates your skin by filling in fine lines (we’re looking at YOU, crow’s feet!) resulting in an overall improvement in the texture and tightness of your skin. Recommended number of treatments depend on your skin goals and the current state of your skin and are spaced 4 to 6 weeks apart with touch up treatments scheduled as needed.
What is Laser Resurfacing?
To repair existing deep-set wrinkles, scarring and tone and texture issues of the eye area, we recommend laser resurfacing with our Spectrum Erbium Skin Resurfacing Laser! This gentle resurfacing laser lifts away years from your face, reverses early signs of aging and counteracts years of sun damage or acne scarring with intense laser energy directed at the treated areas. While this treatment resurfaces the outer layer of the skin, it also stimulates new collagen growth in the underlying dermis to improve your skin’s texture and tone and fights fine lines and wrinkles. Before treatment, we’ll apply a numbing cream for optimal comfort in this quick treatment. Afterwards patients should expect sunburn-like redness lasting usually just a couple days post treatment. Results are long-lasting and are dependent on future aging, the effects of gravity and sun exposure.
