Are there any effective non surgical options for eyelid tightening? (Photo)

Question

I am 34 and noticed that my eyelids now have a crease/wrinkles on them (please see pictures). Are there any effective non surgical options to fix this or what would the best option be to fix them?

Morpheus 8 is a non-invasive skin and soft tissue tightening treatment that is consistently amazing in our patients. We use the Morpheus to exact fractional induced RF into the skin or tissue in order to tighten collagen and stimulate contraction of the tissue. For acne scars, it is quite useful to build collagen in patients who have atrophic scars but is not very productive for ice-pick scars which require TCA Cross. For tissue tightening, Morpheus is ideal for the face and neck and we often combine it with CO2 laser or Ultherapy to further enhance results. Chemical peels and skin resurfacing should be done at least 5 to 7 days after, but can be performed earlier, depending on treatment severity. Avoid exfoliating skin treatments before Morpheus and expect a period of 2-4 weeks for skin contraction to set in.

For redundant skin of the upper eyelids typically an upper blepharoplasty is recommended.  This procedure can be performed under local anesthesia in many cases.  Other options would be Botox to lift the brow, medical grade eye care products like Transform MD and wearing sunscreen to protect this delicate area.

For significant improvement, hooded eyelids require surgery if there is enough skin. For nonsurgical treatments: Radiofrequency (Thermage or Venus Legacy/Viva), injectable fillers, and a Botox brow lift can help contour the eyebrows and lift the eyelid skin. I recommend getting a formal evaluation with an experienced cosmetic dermatologist. Best, Dr. Emer.
