But you can see this after just a few days!

An eyelid lift is one of the most frequently performed procedures in aesthetic dermatology, as many people suffer from drooping eyelids. Drooping eyelids can have various causes – some sufferers have had them since childhood, while for others they only appear later in life. Despite the fact that this is a cosmetic rather than a medical problem, my patients often complain about its effects. Extremely drooping eyelids can also restrict the field of vision or cause eye discomfort. I have the solution for this – treatment with the Morpheus 8. I have summarized more information about drooping eyelids and their treatment below!

What are drooping eyelids?

Drooping eyelids (medical term: blepharochalasis) occur when the upper eyelid hangs down over the eye due to a lack of elasticity or tension. Drooping eyelids can occur in one or both eyes; men and women are equally affected.

Bags under the eyes are the counterpart to drooping eyelids, which refer to swelling of the lower eyelid. This swelling of the lower eyelid is caused by fat and water deposits, which usually occur as a result of stress and age. I also offer treatments against dark circles in my practice!

What are the causes of drooping eyelids?

There are various causes of drooping eyelids or a drooping eyelid:

  • Age-related changes to the skin and connective tissue: With increasing age, the skin becomes thinner and less elastic. In addition, the small "connective tissue cushions" between the eyelid and the eyeball shrink. All these factors can lead to a drooping eyelid.
  • Excessive sun exposure: UV radiation damages the skin and leads to a loss of collagen and elastin fibers. As a result, the skin becomes more fragile and can no longer regress as easily, which can lead to drooping eyelids.
  • Genetic: In some people, a drooping eyelid is simply genetic - it runs in the family.
  • Temporary water retention (edema): These occur more frequently due to excessive alcohol or nicotine consumption as well as fatigue and stress.

Why should I have an eyelid lift?

As mentioned above, it can become a medical necessity to remove excess skin from the eyes, as this sometimes results in the patient’s visual field being restricted. However, many patients also opt for an eyelid lift for aesthetic reasons alone. Drooping eyelids often make the patient look tired, stressed, tense and ill. With a drooping eyelid correction, you have the opportunity for a new attitude towards life!

How can drooping eyelids be treated?

There are many options for treating drooping eyelids. Some doctors opt for correction by means of surgery. Eyelid surgery often has the disadvantage that the patient has to expect long waiting times.

However, my miracle cure for drooping eyelids is a very special treatment that is offered in my practice – the Morpheus 8.

What is the Morpheus 8?

The Morpheus 8 is a further development of classic microneedling and makes it possible to stimulate collagen formation in the deeper layers of the skin and thus restore a youthful glow. Thanks to the combination of microneedling and radio frequency, this treatment benefits from the effects of two different technologies and thus achieves a synergy effect – here 1+1 does not make 2 but 3! As a result, cell renewal is stimulated and the skin appears younger, fresher and more toned!

This minimally invasive technique can be used in many areas! Treatment of the eyes is particularly popular. Here, the Morpheus 8 is used to tighten the eyelids, as the sagging, excess skin is tightened and contracts.

Other areas treated include the face, neck and décolleté, stomach, thighs, buttocks and knees.

What advantages does the Morpheus 8 offer?

  • Short downtimes thanks to the use of radio frequency energy
  • No surgery necessary thanks to the minimally invasive treatment technique
  • Variety of application areas
  • Suitable for every skin type
  • Combination with other beauty treatments possible

What distinguishes microneedling treatment with the Morpheus 8 from other beauty treatments?

Whether after a peel, Botox or hyaluronic injections, or laser therapy – all these treatments have the disadvantage that patients are affected by downtimes of up to a week. The great advantage of treatment with the Morpheus 8 is that there is NO DOWNTIME!

This treatment does not cause wounds, crusting or swelling. It can be carried out all year round (even in summer), as the skin regenerates and restructures itself from the inside! So you don’t have to worry about taking a vacation after the treatment or postponing the next date with your loved one. After treatment with the Morpheus 8, you are totally flexible and can carry on with your normal daily routine!

Tightening eye wrinkles with the fractionated CO2 laser

With the fractionated CO2 laser can be used to successfully treat a typical number of small wrinkles on the face (“elastase”). These innovative laser treatments make it possible to tighten the skin over a large area in the form of microscopically small heat columns.

During the treatment, the areas below and to the side of the eye are treated with the tightening laser. By stimulating the body’s own collagen production, the skin underneath and also on the side of the diverged area becomes significantly firmer – small wrinkles disappear. An improvement in skin quality can be seen immediately after the treatment!

The following areas and skin problems can be treated with the CO2 laser:

Effective wrinkle treatment with injectable polynucleotides

In addition to treatment with Morpheus 8, we also offer the use of injectable polynucleotides for the targeted treatment of wrinkles around the eyes. These innovative active ingredients regenerate the skin at a cellular level and can visibly smooth the delicate skin around the eyes. By stimulating collagen production and improving skin elasticity, polynucleotides are particularly effective against fine lines and wrinkles. In combination with other proven treatments, this method can contribute to a radiant and youthful eye area.

How do dark circles form?

Treatment with hyaluronic acid injections works reliably here and can significantly reduce dark circles under the eyes.

Dark circles under the eyes can be caused by a lack of fatty tissue (hereditary or due to fat loss as we age) or by hyperpigmentation , which can occur more frequently in darker skin types – a dark shadow appears and is responsible for a tired appearance.

In addition, everyday life also has an impact on the appearance of the skin: stress, lack of sleep and fluids, depression and worry, illness and excessive alcohol consumption can also have a negative effect on the appearance of dark circles.

Hyaluronic acid injections reduce dark circles in the long term

While creams help against dark circles in the short term, professional injections with hyaluronic acid can reduce dark circles in the long term or make them disappear completely.

My treatment goal is to lift the depressions in the skin in this sensitive area by injecting special hyaluronic acid precisely and carefully, thus gently compensating for the volume deficit. In this way, shadows and dark circles are diminished and dark circles are reduced or become completely invisible.

You will be amazed at the results. Your tired eyes will be awake, fresh and beautiful again!

How does a treatment with hyaluronic gel work?

Using a fine cannula, the hyaluronic acid is injected into the area to be treated. Here, “less” is often “more” to achieve a natural, beautiful result. Depending on the size of the dark circles, further treatment may be necessary.

After the initial treatment, however, it is advisable to wait for the final result before undergoing further treatment after 2-3 weeks at the earliest.

Important FAQs about hyaluronic acid injections

Injections for dark circles under the eyes should be carried out slowly and in several stages, depending on the situation and requirements.
Once the desired treatment result has been achieved, a refresher treatment can be expected after 8 – 12 months, depending on the patient’s tissue. Hyaluronic acid injections also have another advantage: they stimulate the body’s own collagen production in the treated area, so that new and fresh connective tissue can develop in the long term and thus contribute to lasting treatment success. The following applies: the higher the quality of the material used, the better the collagen stimulation!

The distance to further injections of the dark circles will therefore continue to increase.

The injection is carried out in small quantities and in a controlled manner to avoid excessive filling of the tear trough. The treatment is completely safe, as hyaluronic acid is a natural component of our skin.

After the treatment, slight swelling must be expected, particularly in the eye area, and possibly a small hematoma due to the close proximity of the blood vessels. However, both will disappear within a few days and can be easily covered with camouflage. Especially in the area of your dark circles or tear trough, you should only have the treatment performed by specialists in order to achieve an aesthetic and beautiful treatment result.

The result is visible immediately after the injection, as the treatment immediately lifts the dark circles under the eyes. However, the final result can only be admired after a few days.

Due to the presence of a delicate vascular network in the area below our eyes, a hematoma (small bruise) may occur in rare cases, but this can be covered immediately with antibacterial camouflage and usually disappears completely after 2-5 days.

Aspirin or other blood-thinning medication should be avoided one week before the appointment to prevent hematoma formation.

It is important to avoid sports, sauna or steam bath for 2 days after treatment with hyaluronic acid against dark circles and shadows under the eyes and to avoid any external pressure on the treated area – the gel-like consistency of the filler material needs 24 hours to be fixed in the tissue.

Only in rare cases can small but easily concealable hematomas occur in the treated area after treatment of dark circles and under-eye circles with hyaluronic acid. Slight swelling and redness may occur, but this will disappear after 1-2 days.

When treating tear troughs, it is advisable to consult a specialist as it requires a great deal of expertise. In addition to hematomas, which can occur in rare cases, improper treatment can lead to uneven distribution of the hyaluronic acid in the treated area, whereby the excess hyaluronic acid can subsequently be completely dissolved again with a special enzyme.

Here, the relevant expertise of the attending physician is essential. great importance. With Presence of lymphatic drainage disorders (this should be checked by the doctor beforehand – “snap test”), should be a corresponding treatment should be avoided.

After the first session, you can already see a clear improvement in dark circles under the eyes, and a dark shadow can at least be reduced.
