| - | Eyes by Thermage TMAn innovative treatment without massive surgery | Eyelid aging is such an issue today that blepharoplasty is one of the top three cosmetic procedures performed every year. That's a pretty significant percentage of people who go 'under the knife' to reduce the effects of aging or simply the effects of genetics. Unfortunately, sometimes the results are unkind. We have all seen people who have obviously had an "eye-job." The Thermage eye tightening procedure avoids the risk of an over-done surgical appearance. | | | | Nissan Pilest, Dermatologist and Medical Director of Total Dermatology in Irvine, CA, provides Eyes by Thermage procedure. It uses the same successful radio-frequency technology that is used on the face and body to tighten and induce collagen, but it has been "finessed" to safely and gently treat delicate eyelid tissue. The treatment actually affects the entire eye area, not just the eyelids. It goes beyond firming loose eyelid skin to reduce hooding, under-eye bags, and even minimizes crow's feet. | |
| Immediately following the treatment, patients see the first of what is a  continuing improvement. Over the following 4 to 6 months, this improvement continues as new collagen further smoothes and tightens the eye area. Dr. Pilest assures, "Having an option to perk up heavy-lidded eyes and shrink under-eye bags without sutures, swelling, bruising or time off from work is of enormous benefit to busy professionals. There are no tell-tale signs that you've done anything. As with the rest of the Thermage applications, results improve over time. No one will be whispering behind your back about your 'secret surgery' nor will you need to hide out for weeks as is typically required with invasive surgery." | | | Granted, the results are certainly more subtle, but that's the beauty of it. You'll just look naturally more awake, younger and vibrant. Pair it with Thermage for facial laxity and Fraxel for sun damage and you'll get lift and refinishing without any surgery. That said, it won't take the place of traditional surgery if you have extreme situations. But most 35 to 60 year-olds can expect to enjoy definite improvement. | | |
