It’s often said that your eyes are the window to your soul, but sometimes your eyelids may be so close together it’s difficult to see past them – and it can be extremely damaging to your health.

A legit medical condition called ptosis – or more commonly known as a “lazy eye” – there are many reasons for your window frame loosing its shape.

Whether its hereditary or natural, lazy or droopy eyelids are often caused by a weakening of the muscle that raises the eyelid, or simply premature ageing of the thin, fragile skin on the eyelids. Other factors may have to do with illnesses, however, like:

• Tumour around or behind the eye
• Diabetes
• Horner syndrome
• Myasthenia gravis
• Stroke
• Swelling in the eyelid, such as with a stye

Of course, droopy eyelids may only occur on one side, but over time both eyelids’ muscles may weaken and affect your vision or become painful.

Previously, droopy eyelids could only be treated through a rather painful and invasive surgery. This, however, has changed with the Jett Plasma lift which requires only one or two treatments.

Skin Renewal gives us the treatment’s breakdown:

You see, the plasma eyelid rejuvenation procedure is the next generation technology for skin tightening and collagen production.

Instead of invasive surgery, the Jett Plasma Lift medical treatment uses new technology. Plasma discharge is generated by a safe high voltage between the tip of the device and the treated area. Due to its very thin discharge, it is possible to treat the area around the eye (non-surgical Blepharoplasty).

Getting too deep? Read the details here, but basically, over time you can expect to look fresher, with your skin naturally stimulating more collagen and elastin.

Sure, if your issues with your eyes are a little less serious than ptosis, like dark circles or crow’s feet, Skin Body Renewal also know how to fix those, too.
