Tired look? Opt for a combination treatment around the eyes
“The eyes are the mirror of the soul,” is a well-known expression. In that context, it is extra annoying if you have a tired look, while you are in top form. Then your face tells a completely different story, than how you actually feel.
Fortunately, there are several treatments available to address this problem. In this blog, we discuss the possibility of a combination treatment. After all, you can very well combine a filler with botox and, in the case of droopy eyelids, an upper eyelid correction. There are also several options for the lower eyelids. How? Natale Adamo, medical director and cosmetic doctor at Ivy Clinics, will be happy to explain that to you.
Skin aging
“The skin around your eyes can sag as you age. This is because the skin loses essential constituents such as collagen, hyaluronic acid and connective tissue, also the epidermis becomes less elastic resulting in gravity. This causes droopy eyelids, puffiness and a dark shadow under your eyes. Even crow’s feet, which in the early years are seen as cute laugh lines, at some point become so deep that they become too noticeable.So skin aging is quite visible around the eyes. Especially since it is a prominent area of the face.
Treatment options
Fortunately, there are several treatment options, which in combination can produce even more beautiful results. What can we do to beautify the skin around the eyes?
Pendulous eyelids
The best procedure to address drooping eyelids is surgical eyelid surgery. A safe and minor procedure with great results. The effect of eyelid surgery lasts about 10 to 12 years.
Teardrop and puffiness
Stylage S is the best filler to restore volume loss around the eyes. Often the effect of this lasts for 1 to 1.5 years. Lower eyelid surgery is also a good option in many cases. A lower eyelid correction involves removing a little skin and, if necessary, some fat from under the eyes. The scar will then fall nicely just below the lash line. In some cases, a canthopexy is also needed. This is the re-“hanging” of the little muscle that holds your puffiness in place. Sounds scarier than it is. The doctor or consultant can indicate in the intake interview what is the best option for you.
Dark circles
Are these dark circles the result of volume loss? Then stylage S is the best option to restore volume loss around the eyes. If you suffer from dark spots due to pigmentation disturbances around the eyes then you can consider a peel or laser treatment. The skin around the eyes is very thin and fragile so this is a very tricky problem. In addition, Ivy clinics has many beautiful skin products that can make and keep the skin around the eyes healthy such as EmerginC or Synergy skin products.
Crow’s feet and fine lines
Fine lines around the eyes are dynamic wrinkles. This means they are caused by the movements you make with your muscles while laughing and talking. We can soften the crow’s feet with a few small pricks of Botox. You can enjoy this treatment for about 4 months.
Treatment order
Of course, you can also opt for a single treatment and watch the results. We are happy to give you personal advice on the best options for your situation. Please make an appointment for a free consultation. Request a free consultation
