Got Droopy Eyelids?

Do you have droopy eyelids? Droopy eyelids are a common complaint in our office.
There are a few reasons eyelids can droop. Droopy eyelids can be genetic or a disease related illness. Maybe there was an injury or a complication of botox or surgery, but most commonly it's due to age.  

As we age the muscles and fat layers under the skin begin to separate and slide down the face due to gravity. This aging process is also caused by the skin making less collagen and the slow regeneration of skin cells.

Diet and sleep also play a big part. Sticking to whole foods, healthy fats, and avoiding sugar, sodas, and alcohol can be helpful as well as getting plenty of consistent sleep. If you think your diet and sleep habits need some extra support, that's something that can be address during your acupuncture sessions as well. 

We get plenty of patients in their mid 50's - 70's who are starting to notice the effects of aging on their eyes and eye lids and are looking to address it with non-surgical treatment. Cosmetic acupuncture is an effective treatment protocol that can avoid the need for surgery, and even subsequent surgeries, because repeat surgery for drooping lids is very common. 

We use specific points to stimulate the underlying musculature of the face around the eyes and eyelids to lift the muscle and the skin. It typically takes between 4 and 12 sessions, depending on the severity and how quickly your body responds to treatment. 

We happily offer free consultations to see how we might work together. Give us a call or schedule online.
