Repairing Eyes Without Surgery

Vision is a vital aspect of our lives, but what about how our eyes look to others? To fix vision problems, there is Lasik, glasses, contacts, etc, but what about helping the eyes look younger? There are non-surgical treatments to make the eyes look and feel more youthful. Dr. Dominic Brandy is a board certified cosmetic surgeon who is founding medical director of The Skin Center Medical Spa. The Center has locations in Pittsburgh, PA, and in Columbus, Ohio.

He has developed EyeQ, a treatment for tired looking eyes. It can be done in one office visit and is minimally invasive. EyeQ uses BOTOX Cosmetic and FDA approved dermal wrinkle fillers such as LATISSE to create a customized program to fit each individual. Dr. Brandy has an exclusive Aesthetic peel, which will tighten skin and get rid of fine lines. These treatments can be used on rosacea, varicose veins and spider veins, acne scarring, aging skin and hyper-pigmentation.

A person, 41 years old, asked for a non-surgical treatment for bags under the eyes. Five doctors answered her question. Four doctors suggested some form of injection with fillers such as juvederm, restylane or radiesce. The fifth doctor said there is no good non-surgical procedure to correct the bags. If the person is ready for surgery she/he should find a board certified plastic surgeon.

The Consulting Room offers many non-surgical treatment options for eyes and eyebrows. Specialist Skin Cream can improve appearance. Micropigmentation/SemiPermanent Make-up means that tiny particles of colored pigment are placed mechanically under the skin. Micro-Current Machines tighten the underlying muscles. There are also microdermabrasion, chemical peels and Botulinum Toxin. Autologous cell therapy uses a person's own cells to repair and rejuvenate the skin. The Clinics are in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
