EFFECTIVE & NON-SURGICAL EYELID RESTORATION

London Dermatology | 31 October 2024

Our eyes are the best indicator of our age. Although the skin in this area is extremely thin, lifted eyelids are one of the eye traits most commonly associated with freshness and vigour.

The skin may be among the first to be impacted by the ageing process due to its low flexibility. Up until recently, surgery was the only way to give the eyelid region a fresh, elevated lease of life. Then, in 2017, non-surgical blepharoplasty—a non-surgical substitute for surgical eyelid procedures—was introduced.

This therapy is a wonderful addition to the non-surgical aesthetics market in a culture that values appearing renewed, healthy, and revitalised. Over the past ten years, as patients have gained more knowledge about cosmetic and non-surgical techniques, the number of radical kinds of eye lift surgery has drastically decreased. The face’s most expressive region is around the eyes. The emotion and vigour that emanate from the eye area may be diminished when the eyelids start to droop. In addition to causing face ageing, drooping eyelids might unintentionally give the impression that someone is depressed or exhausted when they are not!

A tiny device that interacts with skin tissue to evaporate it is used to perform a non-surgical eye lift. The little burns that remain on the skin cause the body to go through a healing process that signals the skin to produce new collagen. The skin is lifted and thickened as a result.

The therapy is safe for the sensitive skin on the eyelids since it doesn’t create heat conduction on the outer layers of your skin, therefore there is no risk of heat injury. Additionally, there is no chance of scarring, which is an occupational danger of surgery; even if you are just performing minimal lifting, you will still have a scar that needs to be covered up.

Benefits of the treatment include correcting several age-related changes in the eye area, such as:

Drooping eyelids and skin folds.

Under-eye wrinkles.

Crow’s feet.

Large fat deposits under the upper eyelift.

Reverse botched or unsuccessful blepharoplasty surgery.

Skin tags and warts.

Pigmented areas such as age spots and sun legions.

The treatment results are permanent, though it won’t prevent the effects of natural ageing and lifestyle choices from causing the skin to droop and lose its collagen and elasticity in the future (in the same way that fat-dissolving cannot prevent future weight gain).
