Even if you get a good night sleep (at least 8 hours) you can still look tired like you haven’t slept at all. We all have our friends tell us that we look tired. If you had experience with this before, then you might be the ideal candidate for eye rejuvenation. There are re multiple ways that you can rejuvenate your eyes, starting from fillers and all the way to blepharoplasty, all of which are available with Dr. Kotoske. But let see what alternatives can you pick from and which might be best for you.
Rejuvenate your eyes through Botox
One of the first options to rejuvenate your eyes, and remove those pesky wrinkles and lines around your eyes, is with the help of Botox. This is a pretty simple, quick and painless procedure that will provide visible improvements in about a week.
Botox is a chemical substance (technically it’s a neurotoxin) that will numb the muscles around the injection area, relax them and the skin will become smoother.
Dermal fillers
We’ve all tried to conceal our tired eyes using multiple methods. You know, using wet teabags, coffee, too much makeup and concealer and nothing works good enough or for long enough. Aside from Botox, there are other injectables which can help you rejuvenate your eyes, such as dermal fillers.
This procedure also takes a few minutes, but unlike Botox, they produce results right away or after just a few days once the swelling goes down. Dermal fillers, just as the name suggests, fill up the protrusions and make the skin look smoother, hence your eyes younger.
You can also opt in for Microneedling to rejuvenate your eyes
Another, non-surgical procedure that you can use to rejuvenate your eyes is radiofrequency (RF) microneedling. We all know that as we age, the collagen production in our skin decreases and wrinkles start to form. Instead of filling out the protrusions, you can also tackle the problem by increasing collagen production. And this is exactly what microneedling is doing. It heats up the inner layers of your skin and encourage collagen production.
Is Eyelid Surgery The Best Way to Rejuvenate Your Eyes?
Compared to other methods for rejuvenating your eyes, eyelid surgery is the ultimate procedure. It doesn’t only remove the puffy bags but it also lifts drooping eyelids. With this procedure, your cosmetic surgeon will remove some of the excess skin, tighten the remaining skin and muscles. And if you’re having lower eyelid surgery, then we reposition and remove fat bags and fill in the hollow space with dermal fillers. It’s often a good idea to combine both techniques (upper and lower eyelid surgery).
Brow lift
And finally, the last surgical procedure for rejuvenating your eyes is the brow lift. Unlike eyelid surgery, which mainly focuses on your eyes, the brow lift actually focuses on your forehead, subtly lifting the skin and smoothing out the skin around your eyes. Most patients, if they want to achieve a more dramatic effect, usually combine eyelid surgery and brow lift.
As you can see, there are more than one way to rejuvenate your eyes and the right choice differs from one patient to the other. So before you commit to a procedure, make sure to schedule a consultation so we could determine whether a surgical or nonsurgical method is the right one for you.
