A procedure gaining significant popularity in the UK is the non surgical eye lift. Its tangible results and non-invasive nature are making it a preferred option for many of our patients. Similar to a non surgical facelift, this treatment works by using a device to create plasma or heat the skin, which in turn stimulates the body’s natural healing process to tighten and replace sagging skin.
Why Choose a Non Surgical Eye Lift?
- Lifted eyes: The procedure tightens and lifts sagging eyes creating a more youthful appearance.
- Reduced puffiness and under-eye bags: Injectables like derma filler helps smooth out hollows, reduce puffiness under the eyes and create an all round fresher look.
- Smoother skin around the eye: Helps minimise fine lines, wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
- Enhanced eye contour: This improves symmetry and gives the eyes a more defined appearance.
- Improved eye function: For some patients, the non surgical eye lift helps open the eye and improve vision, particularly when excess skin obstructs the field of view.
- Restored volume: The derma filler can restore lost volume to the under-eye area, which often becomes hollow with age.
- Long-lasting, natural results: While the procedure is temporary, the effects typically last several months to a year, offering natural-looking results that improve your appearance over time without looking artificial.
What are Dermal Fillers?
Dermal fillers are a facial injection which can be placed into specific areas of the face to achieve your desired look. This includes in the eyes, forehead and nose. Dermal fillers are based on hyaluronic acid, a clear gel. This is found naturally in skin which gives it its elasticity. They are typically also used for non surgical nose jobs.
What are the Benefits of a Non Surgical Eye Lift?
- Minimally invasive: unlike traditional eye surgery, non surgical eye lifts involve no cutting or incisions.
- Quick procedure with little downtime: most treatments take less than 30 minutes, and you can resolve normal activities almost immediately.
- No General Anesthesia: Non surgical eye lift usually only requires topical numbing cream or a local anaesthetic, reducing the risks associated with surgery.
- Subtle, natural-looking results: The goal of this procedure is to refresh the eyes, creating a youthful awake appearance without looking overdone.
- Minimal risk and side effects: Significantly lower risk of complications compared to traditional surgery. Common side effects, like bruising or swelling, are generally mild and temporary.
- Customisable Treatment: The procedure can be tailored to your specific needs creating a more personalised result.
How Long Does a Non Surgical Eye Lift Last?
Results for a non surgical eye lift typically last between 6 to 12 months, depending on treatment type and individual factors like age and skin type. Botox treatment or other neuromodulators may last around 3 to 6 months, while dermal fillers can provide results for up to a year or more.
To maintain the effects , you can schedule follow-up treatments as needed. The results are temporary, but the procedure offers a relatively long-lasting improvement in the appearance of the eyes without the commitment of surgery. Alongside this, regular maintenance can help keep your eyes looking fresh and youthful over time.
Is a Non Surgical Eye Lift Safe?
Yes, a non surgical eye lift is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified and experienced practitioner, like those at Dr Hennessy. Unlike traditional eye surgery, this procedure is minimally invasive and involves injectable treatments like Botox or dermal fillers. These treatments have been used safely for years and are approved by regulatory bodies for cosmetic use.
As with any procedure, there are some potential risks, such as temporary bruising, swelling, or mild discomfort at the injection sites. However, these side effects are usually short-lived and subside within a few days.
