Non Surgical Eye Lift

There are a number or more or less successful non surgical eye lifting methods out there, from deeply moisturizing and tightening eye creams to deep cell massages to radiofrequency lift method.

Thermolift

One of the newest and most talked about technologies used to reverse the signs of aging claims to use radiofrequency waves in order to lift and tighten sagging skin. The manufacturers of thermolift say that radiofrequency gently heats the deep surface of the skin causing it to contract and tighten and then further making it lift.

By the lifting of the face, brow and cheeks without surgery and without downtime thermolift is probably one of the best alternatives to the plastic surger. The procedure is safe and it takes less than an hour to perform. Patients who undergo this non surgical eye lift method will be given only a topical anesthesia and will be able to resume work immediately.

Thermolift also claims to be able to treat all skin colors and is said to be safter than the laser surgery where there's always risk of having the pigment affected. It does not however replace laser skin treatments or traditional eye lid surgeries. A deeply wrinkled, sagging skin will not benefit from this type of non surgical eye lift as much as a less aged skin. Also, if there's significant sagging in the skin only a plastic surgery will be able to tighten the area properly.

Lasers

Lasers are mostly used to eliminate wrinkles. They don't cause a lift per se but will eliminate wrinkles around the area successfully enough that a lift may not be needed. This is because lasers not only exfoliate the surface of the skin, but they also tighten the skin's collagen fibers through which they are restoring some of the skin's elasticity. The results last ten years or more.

Adhesive

Hidden within the eyelid skin, a new higher fold created by the eye lift adhesives claim responsibility for a number of accomplishments: tightening of the skin, picking up loose skin as well as raising heavy eyelids, helping making eyelids symmetrical and changing the look of the eyelid.

Threads

This type of procedure is achieved by placing aptos or anti-drooping suturing threads underneath the skin surface to serve as a truss to elevate a drooping eye. The thread has bi-directional knot-like barbs that hook tissue and lift it into place with more stability than regular sutures. The thread can be gently tightened for added support. Only tiny incisions are needed, and treatment can be performed using local anesthesia in the dermatologic surgeon's office and it lasts less than an hour.

Creams

Eyelid creams claim to tighten and tone facial muscles as well as lift up sagging skin. They are more effective with younger patients as there is some diminishing of wrinkles and fine lines and improvement of skin texture.
