How To Cure Your "Tired Looking Eyes"

glytone eye peel Are people always asking you "why do you look so tired", "were you up late" or do you look in the mirror and constantly see dark circles under your eyes that worsen with age. If you do, you are not alone. "Dark under eye-circles", hollows, & bags are common concerns for men and women and we hear them all the time in consultations at our Orlando Medical Spa-Winter Park Laser & Anti-Aging Center. Well, the good news is that we can give you advice on how to cure your "tired Looking Eyes" to make them looking rested & brighter again! Cure #1: Dermal Filler Belotero Balance-the dermal filler of choice to fill in tear troughs (the shallow area under the eyes) & eliminate dark circles. Belotero works by replacing lost volume to the contours of the trough, thereby eliminating the shadow that's creating the darkness in the first place. Typically this only takes one syringe of Belotero and is painless as the area can be topically numbed & lidocaine is added to the syringe. This will instantly make you look years younger & brighten up your eyes. The results last approximately 1 year. Cure #2: Eye-Lift Chemical Peels: There are now mild chemical peels created specifically for around the eyes to treat wrinkles and dark circles. Our favorite is the EnerPeel for eyes from Glytone which is a series of 4 20 minute peels (1 every 2-3 weeks). This chemical peel should only be applied by a medical aesthetician. This peel is a combination of TCA & lactic acids to give a Significant increase in skin firmness around eyes and lips, Decreasefine lines, wrinkles and coarse crow's feet around eyes and lips & Decrease dark circles. Cure #3: Laser Eye-Lift: Laser Skin Resurfacing can be extremely effective in 1 treatment with combo-ablative laser resurfacing. Fractional ablative wrinkle treatment from Palomar uses beams of laser light that penetrates skin to just the right depth and with just the right level of heat to evoke a dramatic healing response that promotes collagen production, diminishing the appearance of fine lines. So here you have 3 ways to cure "tired looking eyes" and look 10 years younger without surgery. For more information on under eye treatments go to www.winterparklaser.com

Top 3 Fall Skin-Care Tips

Just as you change your wardrobe for Fall you have to adjust your skin-care routine as well. Every season brings changes to your skin and therefore you need to reassess the products and cosmetic treatments that you are using and think about switching them up each season. As Skin-Care experts at our Orlando medical spa Winter Park Laser&Anti-Aging Center we like to keep our clients up to date by educating them on the proper skin-care routine for each season based on their skin needs. Here are our top 3 Fall Skin-Care Tips Fall SKIN-CARE TIPS: TIP #1: Reassess your body wash. You'll want to find a shower gel that is soap-free as well as hydrating, try a cream not a gel wash. We like Avene Trixera wash. You also want to make sure that you are using a lotion everyday. Even if you drink a lot of water your skin needs outside hydration as well. Look for a body moisturizer with shea butter\r\n for extra hydration. TIP #2: Switch your Moisturizer. If you have been using a light weight moisturizer in the summer you might want to switch to a thicker creamier moisturizer or add a night time moisturizer. We like SkinMedica Dermal Repair cream for night-it has shea butter and vitamin A for extra hydration & silky skin. Your daytime moisturizers should still have an SPF because even when you are driving or it is cold you are getting sun exposure. It is important to moisturize everyday even if you have acne. We like Skinmedica Ultra Sheer Moisturizer as it doesn't clog your pores and feels great. TIP #3: Analyze your skin. Those who are normally oily might become normal, and those who are normally normal could turn oily. Find a skin-care expert such as an Aesthetician, medical spa or Dermatologist to help get you on the correct medical grade products for your skin.

FDA approves Allergan’s Botox to treat crow’s feet

If you have been noticing that your eyes tell your age, here’s a new cosmetic development that you may apply to you. Federal regulators at the FDA finally have approved Botox Cosmetic injections to treat crow’s\r\n feet (the wrinkles around the eyes). The FDA declared Wednesday 9/11 that Allergan’s Botox Cosmetic injection is the first cosmetic drug approved to treat the wrinkles and fine lines that form on the around the eyes. Allergan studied the use of the drug in 833 adults with crow’s feet who randomly received Botox Cosmetic or a sham injection. Patients who received Botox Cosmetic had fewer visible wrinkles than those who received the placebo injection. The most common side effects although rare seen in patients were slight swelling and mild pin-point bleeding at the injection site. Botox Cosmetic works by blocking the connections between nerves and muscle, temporarily relaxing muscles to make wrinkles less prominent. Botox Cosmetic is a purified form of botulinum and has had the most safety case studies of any other cosmetic\r\n injection in the world over the past fifteen years. Orlando Medical Spa Winter Park Laser has been injecting Botox Cosmetic for 7 years and is excited to finally have the FDA approval to treat crow's feet as this is a common concern amongst women and men. Men love their "Brotox" injections. For more information go to http://www.winterparklaser.com/services/dermal-fillers-orlando/botox/
