So many people wish for a pronounced eyelid crease to define their eyes, allowing them to open wider, appear brighter and look more refreshed. Eyelid hooding is typically a cosmetic issue that causes individuals to look aged and tired, but left untreated can ultimately impact one’s vision.

Hooded eyes feature a heavy brow bone with a deep-set crease. In hooded eyes, skin hangs down over the crease. As the upper eyelid sags, the eye itself looks smaller. This is why our eyebrows take on a sad, worried slant, and the eyes become smaller and pinched while the skin turns thin and crepey.  You have hooded eyes if you cannot see the crease when your eyes are open.

Traditional eye lift surgery, also called blepharoplasty, is an invasive procedure requiring approximately six weeks of healing time, anesthesia, incisions and stitches to remove the excess skin from above and beneath the eyes. While this surgical option is the best choice for severe cases of hooded eyes, most mild to moderate cases can be treated with non-surgical eye lifts, allowing you to avoid many risks such as:

• Infection and bleeding
• Dry, irritated eyes
• Difficulty closing the eyes or other eyelid problems
• Noticeable scarring
• Injury to eye muscles
• Skin discoloration
• Temporarily blurred vision or, rarely, loss of eyesight
• The need for follow-up surgery

Luckily, many people can achieve beautiful, long-lasting results with a non-surgical option performed in minutes! This non-invasive treatment can take the place of a scary and expensive plastic surgery and in most cases is far more effective than everything you have tried before.

What is Reviylift™? – Eyes Lifts Without Surgery

Our eyes are the first area of our body to start showing signs of aging due to stress and sun damage. Wrinkles, thinning and sagging skin are all signs of such wear and make a person look much older and tired than they really are.

Our non-surgical eye lift procedure, Reviylift™, will help you rejuvenate your eye area without going under the knife. It is designed to lift, tighten and brighten your eyes and broaden the upper face while diminishing sagging due to the loss of essential tissue, bone, fat and collagen as we age.

This technique for non-surgical eye lift utilizes a combination of Phenol-based medical-grade peel solution and expertly placed micro-punch incisions to treat the periocular region without the expense, risk and pain associated with a surgical option.

Other aesthetic modalities may be incorporated to dramatically improve the look and feel of the eye area: to smooth out lines, relax the muscles, and lift the eyebrows for a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance. A combination of treatments has a more potent and longer-lasting effect.

These options include but are not limited to:

• Dermal fillers to fill the hollow under the eye and lift the brow.
• Dysport or Botox to soften and eliminate crow’s feet and elevate the brow.
• Skin tightening and collagen induction via radio frequency and PRP modalities.
• Laser resurfacing to reverse aging such as wrinkles, texture and discoloration.
• PDO brow lift to open up further, define and accentuate the eyes.

Is Reviylift™ Safe?

The non-surgical eye lift is generally extremely safe, well tolerated and offers minimal discomfort and downtime compared to other modalities.

The micro-punch incisions typically heal in less than a week after the non-surgical eye lift treatment. The slight burning sensation and discomfort in the area after the procedure is standard and may include peeling, redness, bruising, light scabbing, blistering, and crusting.

These side effects of the Reviylift™ non-surgical eye lift treatment usually subside within 7-10 days, when makeup can be applied to hide the erythema. Periorbital erythema (redness around the eyes) can last from 1 to 4 months.

Hypopigmentation is rare with our non-surgical eye lift procedure. Typical of deeper peels, temporary hyperpigmentation can occur in Fitzpatrick type III and IV patients and is mainly limited to the crow’s feet area. The hyperpigmentation most likely resolves over 1 to 2 months. Prescription hydroquinone can be used to aid the resolution.
