The toll age takes on the eyes doesn’t have to be significant to be noticeable. The skin around the eyes is so delicate. Even a little laxity can make us look unhappy or tired or even when we feel rested. Dr. Zenovia Gabriel at ZENA Medical often recommends skin tightening procedures to brighten and refresh the eyes.
At ZENA Medical, we have two methods of skin tightening treatment to refresh tired, droopy eyelids.
The precision of Thermage® allows your ZENA Medical specialist to tighten the delicate skin around the eyes without damage to surrounding tissues. Radiofrequency (RF) energy is delivered into the dermal layer to stimulate collagen production, which supports skin and gives it the firmness we all associate with youth and beauty.
An eyelid lift, also called blepharoplasty, is another treatment that can refresh your eyes. It does so by repositioning delicate tissues and removing excess skin around the eyes. This smooths away under-eye puffiness, lifts away skin that creates hooding on the upper lid, and refreshes the overall appearance and shape of your eyes. An eyelid lift can achieve dramatic improvements even with the subtlest of changes.
The best candidates for Thermage® are patients between 30 and 50 years old who have lax skin around the eyes contributing to puffiness or drooping.
If you’re in good health and feel your appearance reflects a worn-down look that doesn’t match how young you feel, an eyelid lift may be for you. A consultation at ZENA Medical is a great place to start.
