Your eyes are one of the first things people notice about you, and unfortunately, they can make you appear tired, stressed, or older than you want to look. The fragile skin around the eyes is susceptible to fine lines and wrinkles, sagging skin, and undereye bags as we age and can result in a tired-looking appearance.
Treatments for Tired-Looking Eyes
If you wish you could rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes but are not ready for expensive and invasive surgical procedures, there are many treatment options available that you can consider. These non-invasive options can brighten and awaken your eyes with very little downtime and for a fraction of the cost of surgery.
Thread Lift
A thread lift is a cutting-edge procedure that offers significant anti-aging results without the cost, risk, and downtime associated with facelift surgery. While the results are more subtle than a surgical facelift, they will be more noticeable than injectable treatments.
A thread lift is performed in about a half-hour. A specially designed temporary suture is expertly guided below the skin and left in place. The suture subtly lifts the skin while stimulating collagen production. Over the months following the procedure, the body’s natural response will diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and lift sagging skin. The material is designed to be absorbed into the body, so it does not need to be removed.
Plasma Pen
The Plaxel Pen, a true plasma treatment, is another cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure performed by our experts at Hinsdale Vein & Laser. The plasma pen treatment is ideal for sagging eyelids or bags under the eyes. It can also be used on other areas of the face and neck to tighten skin and smooth wrinkles.
The Plaxel Pen works by delivering tiny bursts of plasma (the liquified form of gas) into the skin. The action stimulates the production of collagen under the skin, creating a natural-looking smoothness and tightening of the area over the course of 8-12 weeks. Because of the nature of plasma, heat does not affect the dermal layer, which makes this treatment safe for fragile facial skin in sensitive areas such as around the eyes.
Tear Trough Fillers
Under-eye circles are not just the result of all-nighters. As we age, the bones in our face shift, altering the facial structure. At the same time, collagen and fat below the skin are lost. The result can be a sagging space below the eyes and above the cheekbones. These bags, called tear troughs, can make your eyes appear tired and age you prematurely.
Facial fillers are an excellent option to treat undereye bags. This minimally invasive procedure is performed in under 15 minutes and involves injecting hyaluronic acid into the treatment area. Effects are immediate and will improve over the course of a week or two. Fillers can last 1-2 years.
Botox and Dysport are well known for their anti-aging and anti-wrinkle results. But these injections can do so much more. By targeting specific muscles, our experts can use these neuromodulators in what is known as a Botox brow lift.
By relaxing certain muscles between and around the brows, the technique allows the forehead muscles to pull the brows up, creating an overall lifting effect, awakening the eyes and smoothing wrinkles at the same time. This procedure is more subtle and also far less expensive and invasive than a surgical brow lift.
Latisse
If you are looking for an easy and completely non-invasive way to improve the look of tired eyes, you may want to consider Latisse. Latisse is a prescription eyelash treatment you apply at home that has been clinically proven to lengthen, darken, and thicken eyelashes. There is no surgery, no injections, and no downtime. Results can be seen in about 16 weeks.
