Choosing the best anti ageing treatments for the eyes

Anti ageing treatments for the eye area are a great way to looking more youthful in time for the festive period. As we approach the end of 2018 and look forward to the New Year ahead, you may be considering undergoing cosmetic treatments to rejuvenate the face, and anti ageing eye treatments are a great way to kick start 2019.

There are many non surgical anti-ageing treatments which can prove useful in reducing the appearance of fine lines around the eyes or smoothing wrinkles which may appear above or below the eye area. Some of the most popular forms of non-surgical anti ageing treatments include dermal fillers, muscle relaxing injections and chemical skin peels.

There are also surgical alternatives such as blepharoplasty procedure but these require recovery time.

Considering injectables?

As well as facial rejuvenation surgery, Mr Ross offers anti ageing treatments for the eye area. Depending on what ageing concern you are aiming to treat, you may wish to choose to undergo one or a combination of several anti-ageing treatments designed to improve the skin around the eyes.

A full consultation with a medical professional is vital before undergoing any type of non surgical cosmetic treatment, however these three anti-ageing treatments are usually universally considered appropriate (and useful more often than not) for the treatment of ageing around the eyes.

Muscle relaxing injections

Muscle relaxing injections offer a non-invasive solution to lines and wrinkles forming around the eyes. Rather than smoothing lines and wrinkles, muscle relaxing injections are designed to prevent new ageing lines and wrinkles from forming, improving the youthful appearance of the face.

This is one of the most popular forms of non surgical anti-ageing treatment in the UK today with celebrities and regular clients are like enjoying the versatility of this extremely popular skin rejuvenation treatment.

Dermal fillers

Like muscle relaxing injections dermal filler treatment is administered using an injectable solution, however facial fillers themselves are not designed to prevent lines and wrinkles from forming around the eyes, but smooth and reduce the appearance of existing ones. There are many types of dermal fillers available and which one is most suitable for your needs is determined during a consultation with the cosmetic doctor of your choice.

Chemical skin peels

Chemical peels are a well established form of nonsurgical facial rejuvenation designs to not only smooth the appearance of wrinkles but also revitalise and freshen up the skin in the upper face area. Chemical skin peels are reliable and come in three different strengths depending on the level of skin rejuvenation required: superficial, medium, and deep.

Making a decision

All of these facial rejuvenation treatments are classed as non-surgical and the anti-ageing solutions can be combined together or used as stand alone treatments. It all depends on what ageing signs above or below the eyes a patient wishes to improve.

For more information about any of the treatments listed above, or for anti-ageing surgery to improve of the signs of ageing including skin that has started to sag, or volume loss please contact the clinic and a member of the team will be happy to guide you.

The questions to ask before you choose to undergo Botox injections

When it comes to facial anti ageing treatments, Botox injections are the most popular. Having become a mainstream cosmetic solution to lines and wrinkles, both men and women seek Botox treatment.

Mr Gary Ross offers Botox injections as part of wider facial rejuvenation treatment plans for his patients. It is common to combine Botox treatment with more invasive methods of facial anti ageing, as this can reduce and prevent new lines and wrinkles from forming.

For example, muscle relaxing injections may be used after facelift surgery or blepharoplasty surgery in order to address facial ageing signs that surgery alone can’t always fix.

Asking the right questions

With popularity continuing to soar, particularly with younger patients, here are five questions you should ask before undergoing Botox injections. Make sure this anti ageing facial rejuvenation treatment is suitable for you.

– What are Botox injections?

Botox is a product name but it is commonly used to describe muscle relaxing injections. It is a type of toxin and had uses in medicine before being used in aesthetics.

They are designed to freeze the muscle it’s injected into, preventing lines and wrinkles from forming. It can be used as a preventative measure, but it’s often used to reduce the signs of facial ageing.

– What is Botox treatment like?

It is non surgical and non invasive. However, it is still a medical treatment and should be entered into with an understanding about the pros and cons regarding it. Botox treatment takes less than 30 minutes, in most cases.

Before treatment with muscle relaxing injections a numbing cream is applied to the skin to ensure patient comfort. The patient will have had a consultation prior to the treatment, and the medical professional will have a detailed plan of where to administer the toxin.

– Am I suitable for treatment with muscle relaxing injections?

This is determined during a consultation. In most cases patients are 30+ and if you are unsuitable or deemed to not need Botox treatment you will be turned away. You can read more about the anti ageing treatment and who it can be beneficial for here.

– Are muscle relaxing injections safe?

When administered correctly, by a medical professional with advanced injectable training, Botox injections offer high patient satisfaction. There are risks associated with all cosmetic treatments, and it’s advised to read up on these before committing to treatment.

You will be given safety advice during your consultation prior to this (or any other) treatment too. Feel free to ask any safety questions you have during this meeting.

– How long do the results last?

Generally, the results of Botox injections will last around 6-12 months. This depends patient to patient and results cannot be guaranteed.
