Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty FAQ
What eye concerns can be treated non-surgically?
Our treatments effectively address crow's feet, under-eye wrinkles, mild to moderate upper eyelid hooding, loss of skin firmness around the eyes, forehead lines that affect eye appearance, and drooping brows. The best approach depends on your specific concerns and skin condition.
How do these treatments work for the eye area?
Botox works by temporarily relaxing muscles that create wrinkles, providing both smoothing and subtle lifting effects. InstaLift uses biodegradable threads to physically lift sagging tissues while stimulating collagen production. Profound uses radiofrequency energy to heat deeper skin layers, promoting natural collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production for improved skin quality.
What results can I expect and how long do they last?
With Botox, visible results appear within 3-5 days with maximum effects in about 2 weeks, lasting 3-4 months. InstaLift provides immediate improvement with continued enhancement over 2-3 months as collagen production increases, with results lasting up to 2 years. Profound delivers dramatic improvement with a single treatment, with results developing over several months.
What is the recovery process like?
Botox requires no downtime - you can return to normal activities immediately, avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours. InstaLift has minimal downtime with possible mild swelling for a few days. Profound may cause some temporary redness and swelling around the treated area, typically resolving within days.
Am I a good candidate for non-surgical eye treatments?
You may be a good candidate if you have mild to moderate aging concerns around the eyes, want to avoid surgical procedures, are in overall good health, and have realistic expectations. A consultation with Dr. Alanen will determine which treatment or combination of treatments would be most effective for your specific concerns.
How do these compare to surgical blepharoplasty?
Our non-surgical options eliminate the risks associated with surgery and general anesthesia, require minimal to no downtime, and provide natural-looking results. While they may not achieve the same dramatic results as surgery for severe cases, they're excellent for mild to moderate concerns and can be repeated as needed.
Can treatments be combined?
Yes! Dr. Alanen often recommends combination approaches for comprehensive eye rejuvenation. For example, Botox can address dynamic wrinkles while InstaLift provides lifting, or Profound can improve overall skin quality while Botox handles expression lines.
How long do treatments take?
Botox injections around the eyes typically take 10-15 minutes. InstaLift procedures vary but are generally completed within 30-60 minutes. Profound treatments may take longer depending on the area being treated. All can be scheduled conveniently around your daily activities.
