The eyes communicate so much, so you want to make sure people can see them. As you age, your skin naturally begins to droop. When the skin over your eyelids becomes lax, you can develop a condition known as “hooded eyelids,” which can obscure your eyes.
While there are plenty of aesthetic treatments to treat lax skin, the idea of treating such a sensitive area can be overwhelming.
At Physician Aesthetic Specialists, we offer Plasmage as a hooded eyelids treatment near Overland Park. This treatment helps tighten the skin around the eyes without causing damage to the area. Read on to learn how.
Sensitive Care
Because the skin surrounding the eyes is more sensitive than the rest of the face, we don’t use typical aesthetics technology. For example, lasers are too harsh to treat such delicate skin. Instead, we use plasma.
The Plasmage device generates small bursts of electricity to quickly “evaporate” areas of the epidermis. This process is called sublimation, turning the skin from a solid to a gas almost instantaneously.
Not only does this eliminate skin concerns like under-eye bags and lines, but it also stimulates new collagen and elastin production in the treatment area. These proteins provide structure to the skin, tightening it and pulling back your hooded eyelids.
One Treatment for Lasting Results
Unlike some other aesthetic treatments, Plasmage does not require several sessions to provide results. In just a single session, you can treat a number of concerns around the eyes, including hooded eyelids. You may need to take some downtime following the treatment, however.
We want you to protect your skin as it heals, so avoid any strenuous activity that may result in perspiration. Sweat can cause infection in the treatment area. You may notice some redness around the eyes, but this should only last about a week, abating on its own.
Let Your Eyes Shine Again
