Thermage for sagging eyelids

Michelle Copeland, MD, DMD answers: Thermage or Laser Treatment for sagging eyelids?

I am 68 with pronounced eyelid sag. What treatment would be preferable? Which procedure would you recommend, Thermage/Thermacool or surgery by laser? Which is safer for the eyes and longer lasting?

Thank you,
Jacques

The eyes are the windows to the soul. All too often, however, they seem to reveal exhaustion. The very delicate skin around the eyes tends to get crepey and puffy due to fatigue and stress. An effective non-surgical option is Thermage, which can tighten the skin around the eyes. Thermage is a non-invasive (no incision!) treatment that can tighten skin and stimulate your body to make healthier collagen—the building block that provides structure to your skin. Fast and easy, Thermage requires no downtime from normal activities.

Topical creams can reduce some lines and wrinkles around the eyes almost immediately, even without surgery. Topical creams like Dr Michelle Copeland Rewind Eye Formula containing pentapeptides and antioxidants help reduce the appearance of fine lines around the delicate eye area, increasing collagen production and reducing dark circles and puffiness over time.
