Bedroom Eyes: Wendy Lewis Covers Everything You Can Do to Rejuvenate the Eyes


(HealthNewsDigest.com) - When the eyes don’t seem to have it anymore, you may need a little help from your friendly dermatologist or plastic surgeon to give you back eyes that get you noticed. (Wendy Lewis, Beauty Columnist - HealthNewsDigest.com)

Concern: Wrinkles and furrows
Solution: Zap tiny crow's feet and deep lines with muscle-relaxing injections of Botox® Cosmetic™, and resurfacing remedies (think lasers such as Fraxel® and Obagi® peels)

Concern: Drooping or hooded eyelids
Solution: Botox® into your squinting muscles (in your crow's feet area) can lift heavy eyelids and give you a more wide eyed open look. Botox® lasts about 4 months. Eyes by Thermage® is a treatment designed to lift upper eyes by heating the skin with radiofrequency waves. If hooding is severe, having a surgeon remove just a sliver of extra skin from your eyelid crease is the best way to go, and can give you a deeper platform to apply shadow too.

Concern: Hollows under the eyes from fat loss
Solution: Restylane® and Juvederm™ injections work brilliantly to conceal hollows and tear troughs so they are less obvious and you don’t look tired even when you’re not. Hyaluronic acid injections will last 6 months or more in this area.

Concern: Under eye bags from fatty deposits
Solution: Eye bags are caused by aging, and also genetics. If your parents have them, they may show up on you eventually. Excess fat can be repositioned or removed, if needed, through a tiny incision inside your lower eyelid.

Concern: Over plucked, too thin brows
Solution: Thick, Brooke Shields style brows are in this season, but if yours have been waxed, plucked and threaded into oblivion, you won’t get the look. Eyebrow transplants use your own hairs (from your head) – but they grow like the follicles were still on your scalp, so they require frequent pruning.

Concern: Sparse eyelashes
Solution: Temporary eyelash extensions can be dramatic and seductive; high maintenance but worth it for a special look. For seriously thinning lashes, transplants can also help.
