Effective Tightening with Energy-Based Treatments
Mild cases of droopy eyelids can be effectively tightened and improved using energy-based non-invasive and minimally invasive treatment methods (EBBs). The key to their success is the stimulation of the skin’s natural collagen synthesis.
What Are Droopy Eyelids and What Issues Do They Cause?
Droopy eyelids occur when the skin of the upper eyelid loses firmness and begins to press against the eye. This “tissue weakness” can be genetic or a natural result of aging, as the skin gradually loses elasticity and tone. Patients frequently report:
- A tired appearance that does not reflect their true vitality
- A restricted field of vision, especially in more pronounced cases
- Difficulties with makeup application, as eyeshadow or eyeliner can easily smudge
- Skin irritation in the area of the pronounced eyelid crease
Our Treatment Methods at a Glance
Sofwave: Ultrasound Technology for Tighter Eyelids
Sofwave utilizes focused ultrasound energy to heat the deeper layers of the skin, thereby activating collagen production. The newly produced collagen strengthens the tissue, resulting in tighter upper eyelids after a few weeks. This treatment is painless and requires no downtime.
Radiofrequency Needling: Intensive Skin Tightening
This method delivers high-dose radiofrequency energy through microfine needles directly into the skin, stimulating various tissue layers. The controlled heating causes the structural fibers in the skin to contract, tightening both the skin and the droopy eyelid. Additionally, new elastin and collagen fibers are formed to further firm the skin.
CO2 Laser Tightening: Targeted Skin Renewal
The fractional CO2 laser creates microscopic injuries in the skin, triggering natural healing processes and skin renewal. The result is a visibly tighter eyelid. Importantly, this method is particularly effective for mild and early-stage droopy eyelids.
For all these methods, multiple consecutive sessions are typically required. The results do not appear immediately but develop gradually over several weeks to months following a series of treatments. During your consultation, we will discuss whether these treatments are suitable for your specific case—or if a combination of methods or even surgical intervention might be advisable.
