Do you wake up every morning and avoid the reflection in your black phone screen, bathroom mirror, and microwave door? Is it not until noon every day that you can bear to look and see if those bags under your eyes and droopy eyelids have finally gone away? And then, even at that point, they still may not be gone. Is it one of those things where you feel like you have to admit defeat? No, not yet! Stick with Boho Chic, and we will get you fixes to all your droopy eye issues.
Find the Problem
Are you finding that you most often have droopy eyelids when you are running on little sleep? Or are you noticing that you have them daily, recurring no matter how much sleep you get?
Most of the time, we get these drooping eyelids when we have little sleep and are struggling with exhaustion. Other times, they develop as we get older. But no matter the root of the cause, drooping eyelids can be fixed!
The Science of Ptosis
This condition, where your eyelids become droopy, is something experts like to call ptosis. This is caused when the nerves in your eyelids or brow line are weakened, possibly by age, fatigue, or even a procedure like Lasik. This doesn’t mean that they will stay like this forever. But if it is something that bothers you, you can always look into solutions.
Causes of ptosis depend on the type. Some babies are born with ptosis in one or both eyelids. But ptosis can occur later in life, too, if the muscles or ligaments that normally raise your eyelid are weakened by injury or some kind of disease. Sometimes, the drooping is caused by damage to the nerve endings that control your eye muscles.
Our Solutions
Here at Boho Chic Clinique, we offer several solutions for ptosis. Here are some options:
Special Drops
Sometimes, the best answer is a cream or product to help with that droopiness. One option is a solution called Upneeq. This takes the form of eye drops, which can be used on a daily basis every 8 hours. These drops will lift your upper eyelids and help open your eyes.
Consider for this holiday season you may be looking forward to holiday parties or nights to spend with your family and loved ones. But what happens when you need to go to work the next day after a long night? Well you will probably wake up with a little bit of sag and tiredness, but you know what can fix that? You guessed it, Upneeq! For any holiday photoshoots or days you need to show up at work after a late night, you can wake up, just put some Upneeq drops in your eyes! They will last you up to 8 hours and those droopy eyes won’t be joining you in your family photos.
Furthermore, there’s no need to worry that Upneeq will interfere with contacts or irritate your eyes. These drops have been specially crafted and tested by experts, so you can expect minimal to no side effects when using Upneeq.
Pairing With Other Treatments
The amazing thing about these Upneeq drops is that they can be paired with any other treatment! They work amazing on their own, but if you want to try out any other medspa treatments here at Boho Chic, then you can feel free to. Better yet, you can select treatments that further enhance the work that these drops do.
For example, doing a medspa treatment like Emface, Opus Plasma, or a Botox Brow Lift can amplify the effects of Upneeq, bringing you lifted eyes, brows, and under eyes.
Emface
Emface is a leading medspa treatment that combines high-intensity electrical stimulation (HIFES) and radiofrequency (RF) technology. It strengthens facial muscles so that they can provide more volume and give your face that lift you desire. By emitting synchronized RF and HIFES energies, it simultaneously affects the facial skin and muscles.
Like many of the treatments described above, the radiofrequency of Emface helps boost collagen production. At the same time, it stimulates muscle contractions to strengthen and lift sagging facial muscles.
Emface has been shown to get rid of wrinkles in the areas where it is applied as well as lift the surface of the skin to give it an elevated appearance. And Emface does all this without needles. Radiofrequency and electrical stimulation are not only safe for your skin, but they are also very good alternatives to Botox or Dysport if needles and injections aren’t right for you.
In addition to lifting facial muscles, Emface will also…
- Reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Boost collagen production
- Firm the surface of the skin
So, while you may be interested in Emface to help with your droopy eyes, it will also help in other areas. It’s like hitting several birds with just one stone when you choose Emface.
Opus Plasma
Opus Plasma is a treatment that makes your skin look younger, smoother, and healthier. It uses electrical plasma technology to create tiny channels in the skin that induce collagen production.
The hand-operated device used in Opus Fractionated Plasma treatment contains a series of metal tips that give off electrical plasma energy when placed close to your skin. The tiny channels it creates in your skin force it to produce collagen, which then triggers the lifting and healing process. This lifting can be what helps improve the appearance of drooping eyes.
Opus Plasma also requires no downtime! So you can resume your daily activities after your appointment. However, treated areas may be reddened and swollen for up to 48 hours, so you may want to take some social downtime while your skin calms down. However, we like to think that it’ll be undeniably worthwhile, as Opus Plasma can also:
- Enhance skin tone
- Reduce hyperpigmentation of the skin
- Reduce stretch marks
- Reduces scarring from acne or injury
So, while you may be thinking of Opus to help with your droopy eyes, it will also help in other areas. So you can tackle multiple problems at once with Opus!
Life-Altering Skincare
Boho Chic Clinique offers a variety of reputable medical-grade skincare products that can be just what you need when you’re focused on building an effective home skincare regimen. A good skincare routine alone can make a huge difference in the health of your skin—even those droopy eyelids! These products will also help you maintain the results of other treatments you receive here at our clinique.
We offer plant-based and medical-grade skincare solutions that assist in achieving any desired results for your face, whether that’s to even your skin tone, smooth out fine lines, or add a stunning glow. And, unlike over-the-counter skincare products, medical-grade skincare products are FDA-regulated and more powerful, making them much more effective than what you can get from other options. When combined with our cutting-edge clinical procedures, your results are enhanced compared to only doing one or the other.
Eye Patches
Specifically to help that ptosis, you can try wearing an eye patch! Wear one right before you go to bed for just 10 or 20 minutes to potentially eliminate those puffy and droopy eyes. This time of year, it would be perfect for holiday sleepovers and self-care nights to get yourself glowing for parties!
Eye Cream
There is also a miracle eye-lifting cream that we offer here at Boho Chic Clinique. This cream can be applied during your skincare routine, right after moisturizer. It will absorb that saggy eye appearance and renew a glow you might have forgotten you once had! Clear those dark circles and bags with our eye cream!
Collagen Supplements
Collagen is also a great way to add life to your eyes again. By taking collagen supplements or using collagen-infused creams and moisturizers, you will allow your skin to absorb those nutrients it needs to still look and feel young and hydrated.
As you age, collagen production slows down, meaning your skin will lose its hydration, youth, and glow, adding wrinkles, dryness, and dullness to your face. Taking collagen supplements can help to resolve some of these effects.
Here at Boho Chic Clinique, we offer amazing collagen options to promote that youthful and lifted appearance you are looking to achieve. To get started with collagen supplements or any of the other products or treatments we have available, schedule a personal consultation!
