As we age, the skin over our eyes begins to sag. And while no one really likes the droop - surgery, scalpels, and scars don’t sound like much fun either. Luckily there are ways to lift and tighten the skin above your eyes that require no surgery, no general anesthesia, and minimal downtime.

The first is with Thermage™ - an FDA approved technology that uses radiofrequency energy to penetrate the dermal layers of skin, tightening existing collagen and stimulating the production of new collagen growth. The end result is tighter, firmer skin and brighter looking eyes. This non-invasive treatment reduces eyelid hooding, improves texture, tone and smoothness of the eye area, and softens fine lines and crow’s feet. Results are noticeable after just one treatment and continue to improve over time as new collagen is produced.

The second is with BOTOX®. Injecting BOTOX into the muscles outside your eyes (in your crow's-feet area) and above your eyebrows will relax these muscles; which is turn will lift heavy eyelids and help open up your eyes for a more awake look.

While it is true that a surgical lift will definitely take years off your appearance - they aren’t for everyone. If you are looking for an alternative to a “going under the knife” solution, give Thermage™ or BOTOX® a try first.
