All About Eyes in Portland & Lake Oswego

Many patients notice crêpey or sagging skin around the eyes, which can be exacerbated by factors like age and fatigue. The eyes are often the first feature to show signs of aging, making individuals appear more tired or older than they feel. The periorbital area responds well to a combination of treatments that can address these concerns more effectively.

While individual treatments provide great results, layering procedures can enhance the outcome. For instance, combining brow Ultherapy® and Thermi® Eyes to tighten and lift the skin, followed by a Madonna Lift for resurfacing, and finishing with Botox® to smooth wrinkles, can create a more youthful, refreshed appearance. Read on to explore additional treatments for the eye area.

Medical Grade Skincare

In our office we always advocate for patients to start the anti-aging process of the eye area with a good medical grade skincare line. We highly recommend that every patient invest in our skincare to protect and rebuild the skin’s youthful appearance.

Brow Ultherapy®

Brow Ultherapy helps lift the eyes by using focused ultrasound energy to stimulate collagen production in the skin and underlying tissue. This non-invasive treatment targets the brow area, tightening and lifting the skin, which can reduce sagging and create a more youthful, open-eyed appearance. It’s particularly effective in lifting the brow to rejuvenate the upper face and enhance the eyes’ natural shape.

Thermi®Eyes and Thermi®Eye Plus

Thermi®Eyes and Thermi®Eye Plus use radiofrequency heat to target the skin around the eyes and brow, providing a soothing “warm stone massage” sensation. This non-invasive treatment is typically done in 4-5 sessions, gradually improving the appearance of crêpey skin over several months. Dr. Burgess particularly loves the results when combined with our Neocutis firming eye creams for added rejuvenation.

SmartSkin™ CO2

SmartSkin™ CO2 laser is a customizable micro-ablative skin resurfacing treatment. The Madonna Lift uses SmartSkin™ gently just around the eyes in a series of three treatments. This is used to help create smoother, more even skin tones and address fine lines and crêpiness of the eyelids.

Neurotoxins

Neurotoxins like Dysport, Botox, and Xeomin can improve the eye area by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles around the eyes, such as crow’s feet. This smooths fine lines and can also lift the brow slightly, creating a more open and youthful appearance. Each treatment helps reduce the signs of aging and rejuvenate the eyes with minimal downtime.

Facial Fillers

Facial fillers can improve the eye area by adding volume to areas like the under-eye hollows, which helps reduce the appearance of dark circles and bags. They can also smooth out wrinkles and restore lost volume in the temples or brow area, creating a lifted, more youthful look. Fillers enhance overall facial harmony and refresh the eyes without surgery.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid Surgery)

For those Individuals still struggling with drooping eyelids that have tried multiple creams and non-surgical tightening procedures or those who just want a more permanent result, blepharoplasty (upper and lower eyelid surgery) could be the answer you’re looking for! Blepharoplasty is a surgical option that removes excess skin of the upper eyelid and sometimes small amounts of excess fatty tissue of the lower eyelid. This will require downtime with an average of two weeks of healing and recovery time.
