They say the soul is reflected in the eyes. In younger years that can certainly be said – everything glistens and sparkles! Over time, however, when the skin around the eyes loses its elasticity, the eyelids sag and the eyebrows droop, it becomes difficult to continue meeting the poetic standard. Even if the eyes themselves continue to light up: Everything that surrounds them takes away a little of the glow of the past.
There are highly efficient methods to bring the eyes back to the center of attention. One of these is the removal of excess skin and/or the lifting of the eyebrow in a surgical procedure. This procedure can be useful if there is a lot of excess skin. Very often, however, such a step is far from necessary, especially as surgery also carries certain risks and is associated with a longer downtime.
YY Aesthetics offers three particularly low-risk, effective and gentle strategies to restore a youthful glow to the eye area.
The eyebrow lift treatment is offered in our practices in Baden-Baden and Stuttgart.
Duration
Approx. 20-30 minutes
Fit for social life
The effects of eyebrow lifts with botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid are usually immediate. When using the CO2 laser for an eyebrow lift, it can take a few days for the regenerated skin to become visible.
Follow-up check
Approx. 2-3 weeks after the initial treatment
Durability
Depending on the strategy, 7-18 months.
Undesirable side effects
Bruising (hematomas) or swelling can rarely occur when botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid are injected. Treatment with a fractional laser can lead to the formation of pigment spots if the new, rosy skin is not sufficiently protected from UV rays. Treatment is therefore particularly suitable in the fall and winter months. Please ensure that you use adequate sun protection for at least 2 months.
Post-treatment
This varies depending on the treatment – we will inform you on site.
Pregnant women / nursing mothers
Treatment during pregnancy and breastfeeding is not recommended.
Other
With botulinum toxin, the maximum treatment effect is only achieved after approx. 10 days. The result of a non-surgical eyebrow lift using botulinum toxin/hyaluronic acid is therefore only partially visible immediately, but then reaches its maximum effect within approx. 2-3 weeks.
EYEBROW LIFT WITH BOTULINUM TOXIN (BOTOX®)
During an eyebrow lift with botulinum toxin (Botox®), we specifically weaken the muscles that lower the eyebrows. The botulinum toxin is injected precisely into the muscles, which then no longer contract for around 4-6 months and can therefore no longer “pull down” the eyebrows. Visually, this is noticeable in the open expression of the eyes.
COMBINED BROW LIFT TREATMENT WITH BOTULINUM TOXIN ("BOTOX") AND HYALURONIC ACID
In the combined brow lift treatment with botulinum toxin (Botox®) and hyaluronic acid, the tissue-strengthening and volume-building effect of the filler also supports the lifting of the eyebrows by the botulinum toxin. At the same time, the eyebrow arch is emphasized even more effectively by filling in volume where it has diminished over time. This multipotent treatment strategy brings sparkle to the eyes!
EYEBROW LIFT WITH A CO2 LASER
With severely sagging upper eyelids, the methods mentioned above are not sufficient to model the eyebrows in the desired way. In this case, the excess skin is carefully removed with a fractional laser (CO2 laser) to improve the elasticity of the skin. An anesthetic cream is first applied before laser therapy. After laser therapy, an additional eyebrow lift with botulinum toxin (and hyaluronic acid) can be performed. An eyebrow lift with the CO2 laser produces optimal results after a short convalescence period.
YY eyebrow lifts with botulinum toxin and hyaluronic acid do not require anesthesia and do not involve any downtime. With eyebrow lifts using a CO2 laser an anesthetic cream is used to minimize the pain as much as possible. After treatment, it may take a few days for the scabs to go away and the new, rosy skin to appear.
We will define which of the methods is most suitable for you in a detailed consultation. We determine the indication and explain the individual treatment approach in detail so that you are thoroughly informed about every step. You can look forward to the result!
