Eyelid wrinkles pose cosmetic concerns, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Eyelid wrinkles can impede your line of sight — and that’s both inconvenient and unsafe.
Plastic surgery can combat these wrinkles, lax skin, and sagging eyelids, but not everyone wants (or can have) plastic surgery.
You’re not out of options, though. Here at the Alora LifeSpa — part of Maryland Eye Care Center — our team offers nonsurgical wrinkle reduction with Morpheus8.
Here’s what you need to know about Morpheus8 for eyelid rejuvenation.
Morpheus8 is a minimally invasive procedure that stimulates collagen production to address common concerns such as skin laxity, wrinkles, acne scars, and sagging eyelids.
Each Morpheus8 session uses microneedling and fractionated radiofrequency (RF) energy to address cosmetic concerns. The tiny needles penetrate the surface of your skin and deliver controlled RF energy into the middle layer of your skin (dermis).
The RF energy is what separates Morpheus8 from traditional microneedling. It stimulates your body to ramp up collagen and elastin production. Because collagen gives strength and structure to your skin, more collagen means firmer and more youthful skin.
Morpheus8 can address multiple areas of your face, including around your eyes. The skin here is thin and prone to early aging.
Morpheus8 is ideal for rejuvenating this sensitive area because it offers:
The Morpheus8 system includes two handpieces, including a smaller one for more targeted areas. That means your Morpheus8 treatment can target the small, delicate skin around your eyelids without damaging the surrounding tissue.
Unlike traditional eyelid surgery (blepharoplasty), Morpheus8 is minimally invasive. You needn’t worry about incisions, stitches, or significant downtime.
The combination of microneedling and RF energy helps restore elasticity and firmness to the skin around your eyes. Morpheus8 smooths out fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those around the eyelids and crow's feet.
Morpheus8 treatments for the eyelids are typically quick, lasting about 30-45 minutes. Before your treatment, we apply a topical numbing cream to keep you comfortable. Then, your Alora LifeSpa provider uses the FDA-cleared device to treat your eye area.
We provide post-treatment instructions, which may include using a gentle moisturizer and sunscreen.
After your wrinkle treatment with Morpheus8, you may experience mild redness or slight swelling. That’s common with RF microneedling but only lasts for a day or so.
You won’t need a lengthy downtime either — another perk of a nonsurgical option! You can expect to get back to your normal activities within a day.
You may notice initial improvements within a few days as your skin tightens, but the best results typically appear over the next few weeks as collagen production increases.
Morpheus8 is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate skin laxity around the eyes who want a nonsurgical solution for rejuvenation.
You might consider this wrinkle treatment if:
