The eyes are often the first area to show signs of aging. Many people are bothered by sunken eyes, dark under eye circles, under eye bags, excess eyelid skin, and wrinkles. In the past, these problems were treated with surgery but many people nowadays don’t want to go under the knife. Fortunately, there are now many non-invasive methods available to help restore and rejuvenate the eyes.
Expert Botox treatment around the eyes can help to elevate the brow, reduce crow’s feet lines, and open up the eye in a pleasing way. This treatment is quick, safe, virtually painless, and produces natural results. We strive to avoid bruising in this delicate area by using the most gentle technique. If you’ve ever had Botox done in Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, Castle Rock, Denver, or elsewhere, we invite you to experience a higher level of Botox!
Dr. Ort specializes in under eye filler injections to help hide under eye bags, dark circles, hollows, and shadows. His goal with under eye filler treatment is a great result with minimal downtime. Precise placement of filler can fill hollows, hide shadows, and reduce the appearance of under eye bags. Filler injections in this area often last a year or more! Dr. Ort’s preferred fillers in this area are Restylane Eyelight or Belotero.
Dr. Ort prefers to inject the under eye area with a cannula instead of a sharp needle. Unlike a needle, a cannula is blunt and does not easily pierce blood vessels. This greatly reduces the risk of bruising and swelling and makes the treatment safer. Compared to using a needle, a cannula requires more training, experience, and time on the part of the injector, but the benefits to the patient are undeniable.
We frequently see patients who report that they were injected at another office and had severe bruising under the eyes. Most patients injected with a cannula have minimal or no bruising and minimal downtime. There is a difference when it comes to dermal filler injections in Lone Tree and Denver!
Resurfacing of the skin is another great option for eye renewal and lift. For people with mild lines and loose skin, microneedling with SkinPen can help stimulate new collagen production and smoothing of the skin. Laser treatment with our non-ablative fractional laser (similar to Clear and Brilliant) is another great option with almost no downtime. For those with more advanced wrinkles or excess skin, laser resurfacing with fractional CO2 laser can provide more dramatic tightening and lifting of the skin around the eyes. A few days of healing can turn back the clock and reverse years of sun damage and aging.
Don’t forget the importance of good skincare to protect, enhance and restore the skin around the eyes. Sun protection is essential. We recommend a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher and prefer physical sunscreens containing zinc oxide. Our exclusive nV Skincare line can help to revitalize the skin and reverse signs of sun damage. With antioxidants such as Vitamin C & E, ferulic acid, and green tea, nV Skincare will help reduce the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation and restore the skin’s radiance.
If you are bothered by the appearance of dull, aged skin around the eyes or under eye circles and bags, we will likely have a solution. With so many great non-invasive treatments to choose from, we can help you achieve bright, sparkling eyes!
