As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes can loosen causing the eyelid to droop. In extreme cases, this may even affect vision. Aging can also cause wrinkles, known as crow’s feet, to appear at the outer corners of the eyes. Using energy-based technology causes the skin to contract, resulting in lifting of eyelids and fading of crow’s feet.
An eyelid lift can tighten loose skin of the eyelids and smooth out wrinkles that appear around the eyes as we age, giving mature skin a younger look.
The top three Alma devices for this treatment are: Opus – the high power microplasma Colibri tip is particularly suitable treating hard-to-reach places, such as the eyelid, without compromising safety to the eyes; Alma PrimeX – specially designed to treat small areas, particular around the eyes; and Pixel CO2 – enabling a wide range of procedures for rejuvenating skin around the eyes, and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
Some eyelift treatments are painless. For more intensive treatments, topical numbing cream may be used before the procedure.
Depending on what treatment you are having, you may see an instant lift. More impressive results will emerge in the following weeks, or with additional treatments. There may initially be some slight marking around the eyes, which will disappear within a few days.
Yes, Alma’s treatments follow well-established protocols, and there have been multiple publications on these technologies. Before treatment, your practitioner will take all necessary steps to ensure that your eyes are protected throughout the course of the treatment.
