Question

Is it safe and will it reduce the appearance of excess skin on my eyelids? How long will it last?

Jason Emer, MD · Answer

Thank you for your question, as we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow, eyelid, eye troughs, upper eye hollows, and forehead. I typically combine this with Ultherapy and thread lifting to lift the brow; RF and skin tightening laser treatments to stimulate collagen production and rejuvenate the skin; and laser or superficial RF devices for improvements in texture, color, and any crepey skin around the eyes as needed. In some cases, surgery is the best solution to achieve the desired results. See an expert for a formal consultation. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello, 
I perform lots of Mucroneedling treatments. It is almost impossible to treat the upper eyelid with Microneedling beyond the bony brow ridge. 
I recommend that you look into CO2 laser resurfacing for upperlid skin tightening.

Hello and thank you for your question and photos.
Microneedling with PRP is an excellent treatment and completely safe to the delicate upper and lower eye area. Microneedling helps strengthen, tighten and improves the skins appearance along with the collagen induction.
Enjoy your treatment!
