The eyes are a focal point of the face. Unfortunately, they are also one of the areas to succumb to aging. Many small lines around the eyes (the so-called "crow's feet"), can be reduced with regular Botox injections. Other "eye wants" such as getting rid of droopy brows or under-eye bags will need a combination of treatments for the best results.
Tweezing and waxing can only do so much. If your brows need a little lift, we recommend Botox injections. Botox weakens the muscles in the forehead that pull on the brow line, lifting and elevating it back to a more desirable position. If your brows are descending over the upper eyelids, you may be a candidate for a brow lift. Refer to the Industry Buzz article below for surgical options from Dr. Martin.
Maybe your concern is tired and baggy under-eyes? At VITAHL, we can treat under-eye bags with Radiesse and Juvederm, as well as with micro-fat-grafting, to banish the appearance of the bags. Fillers and fat injected into the hollows will replace the volume loss that happens with age. We're experienced at injecting into this orbital area, so you can be confident that you'll get the desired outcome. To permanently get rid of bags, you may need blepharoplasty, which is explained below by Dr. Martin, our on-staff plastic surgeon.
For day-to-day maintenance of the delicate eye area, we have several topical treatment options at VITAHL, including YOUTH Eye Complex, which smooths, hydrates, and reduces puffiness and dark circles. Ask your clinician at VITAHL to recommend what product is best for your skin.
Keep your eyes looking as young as the rest of you with easy, in-house treatments at VITAHL.
Sincerely,
Dr. Humes
