The winter doldrums can be rough, both on you and the delicate skin around your eyes.

As we push through another month of cold weather and cloudy skies, it can be difficult not to feel—and look—a little tired and dull.

While we can’t do anything about the weather, several easy and safe options are available to rejuvenate the eye area, leaving you looking bright, rested, and refreshed.

No matter what problem you are noticing, we can help!

Texture 

Laser resurfacing can make the eyelid skin appear tighter. This procedure involves creating microscopic wounds to the skin using a laser and triggering a process of new skin regeneration.

Expression Lines

Botox is a temporary muscle relaxer that softens the appearance of smile lines, also known as crow’s feet. Approximately three to four injections are placed around the eye area and results can be seen in as little as one week.

Hollowness Under the Eye

Fillers can be injected into under eye hollows. This procedure literally “fills” the area to restore volume and diminish hollowing.

Periorbital Veins

Have you noticed any large blue veins around your eyes? These can be removed noninvasively using a 1064nm NdYAG laser that targets deep blue structures. This is considered an advanced procedure and should only be done by experienced physicians.

For Your Information

We use the AccuVein vein mapper prior to injections to decrease bruising. This ensures us that all steps are taken to keep bruising at a minimum.

Perhaps you are not experiencing any of these issues, but are looking to prevent them. The two most important products to use are sunscreen and retinoids. A procedure known as IPL Photofacial has also been shown to boost collagen over time and it has become our go-to workhorse device for overall skin health.
