Maintaining decent eye contact is generally at the top of any “how to make a good first impression” list.

But it can be difficult to make initial eye contact if you’re feeling nervous or self-concious about the state of your eyes.

You see, for young and old alike, the eye region is one of the most common causes of concern, and there are two main conditions that can affect your eye areas.

Let’s take a quick look at them, and how they can be treated by professionals at Skin Renewal:

Hooded Eyes

A hooded eye is often caused by sagging skin on the forehead, meaning that treatments to the brow or forehead can be very effective by raising the eyelid by between one to three millimetres non-surgically.

Sagging and puffy eyelids can dampen an otherwise youthful appearance, and correcting them can make one look rested and refreshed. Treatments used to achieve these results are Cutera skin tightening,, Laser Genesis™ and Carboxytherapy. A

chemical brow lift using injectable wrinkle reducers can also improve the hooded appearance.

An additional treatment, which yields instant and long-lasting results, is a Silhouette Soft® brow lift which is performed by a medical doctor to achieve an open, lifted and smooth forehead and brow features.

Eyebags

The lower eyelids are one of the first areas to show evidence of age-related changes. These changes are brought about by gravity, stress and stretching of the skin.

As ageing takes place we see the development of crow’s feet, excess skin around the eyes, dark circles and prominent under-eye bags.

Previously there was no alternative to surgical eye lifts or blepharoplasties. The choices were limited and fairly black or white; surgery or eye bags.

But now, with the evolution and development of treatments such as Dermal fillers, Carboxytherapy, Mesotherapy, and targeted Jett Plasma eyelid rejuvenation laser, virtually any patient in their 30s or above qualifies for consideration of a little tightening and firming around the eye area.

With technology continuously providing new and better solutions there is no longer a need to just give up and sit back, and the earlier you start with treatment the better your results.
