Signs of Aging in Your Eyes and Treatments that Help

Apr 19, 2022 Ultimate Image Posted in Aging, Beauty Tips

The face is often the first place where signs of aging start to pop up, and the eyes are very susceptible to changes related to the aging process. Some of the most common signs of aging in the eye area include:

  • Fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes are often the first signs of aging that people notice on their faces. These wrinkles can be due to several factors, including skin changes and repetitive expressions.

  • Sagging, loose skin

Sagging, loose skin around the eyes is often due to loss of under-eye fat deposits along with reduced collagen and elastin production. In severe cases, sagging upper eyelid skin can even block vision.

  • Skin texture and thickness issues

Loss of collagen and elastin production along with impaired cell renewal causes the already delicate skin around the eyes to become even thinner as we age. Altered cell renewal also leads to skin with a crepe paper-like texture instead of the smooth, firm skin of youth.

Our Noninvasive Injectables and Procedures Can Help

We have several services and procedures that can help you combat the signs of aging around the eye area. By working with our talented, reputable aestheticians, we can develop a plan that combines all the different treatments to best address your eye area issues. Some of our most popular procedures to correct signs of aging around the eyes include:

Botox®

For fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes, there is no better noninvasive treatment than Botox®. This neurotoxin relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles in the first place, leaving you with smoother, wrinkle-free skin. Results can be seen in just one week, peak around two weeks, and last 3-4 months.

Dysport®

Botox® is great for mild to moderate wrinkles, but what about that deep furrow line between your eyebrows? Dysport® is another botulinum toxin-based injectable that works best for deeper wrinkles and expression lines, especially that pesky brow wrinkle. Expect results in just 1-2 days that peak around two weeks and last 3-4 months.

PRP/PRF

We can’t sing the praises of this powerhouse combo treatment enough! Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and Platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) combine to give you immediate results that last much longer than many other treatments. PRP/PRF clients can expect to see improved skin texture, fewer wrinkles, reduced undereye circles and puffiness, and a more youthful overall appearance. The best part is that since PRP/PRF treatments are derived from the client’s own tissues, the chance of adverse reactions is almost none!

Fillers

If you are losing volume around the eye area, fillers are a common-sense solution. Modern fillers do more than just plump up the area; many are now formulated to also stimulate collagen and elastin production. This means the filler substance gives immediate volume restoration while the collagen and elastin produced start rebuilding the skin’s underlying framework, improving cell turnover and skin condition. Restylane® and JUVÉDERM fillers are both popular for treating this area of the face.

Fraxel®

Fraxel® is a noninvasive laser light therapy that can be totally customized to your skin’s specific needs. Wrinkles, scarring, pigmentation issues, and texture issues can all be corrected with the Fraxel® laser when used by a trained professional. Fraxel® creates microthermal zones deep under the skin that the body identifies as damaged. This damage spurs the production of collagen, elastin, and other reparative skin components to fix the affected tissues. Expect to see results just 1-3 weeks after your first session. Up to five sessions can be performed for maximum results.
