Revitalize Your Eyes: Effective Non-Surgical Treatments for Common Eye Area Issues
The skin around your eyes is delicate and often the first to show signs of aging. Because your eyes play a central role in your overall expression, even minor issues can have a significant impact. Fortunately, there are proven treatments available to minimize these effects and help you maintain a youthful appearance.
Droopy Lids and Brows
You might think that drooping eyelids and brows require traditional surgery, but there are effective nonsurgical solutions available. Thermage is one of the best treatments for lifting and tightening the skin above the eyes without any incisions or downtime. This thermal lift stimulates collagen production, which naturally diminishes with age, resulting in smoother, firmer skin that lasts for years.
Puffiness and Sunken Spots
Even if you’re well-rested and hydrated, you may still experience puffiness or hollowing under your eyes. Depending on your specific needs, we can address these concerns in several ways. Thermage can lift and firm the delicate skin around the eyes, while dermal fillers like Restylane, Juvederm, and Belotero, made from natural hyaluronic acid, can instantly plump and smooth under-eye hollows, restoring a more youthful appearance.
Crow’s Feet and Wrinkles
The natural movement of your eyes when you smile or squint can lead to the formation of crow’s feet and wrinkles over time. Botox and Dysport injections are highly effective in minimizing these stubborn lines. By relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, these treatments smooth out the skin around your eyes. Within just a week, you’ll notice your eyes looking brighter and more refreshed, with wrinkles significantly reduced.
Dark Circles
While there’s no cosmetic treatment that can replace your trusty concealer, there are non-invasive procedures that can address the underlying causes of dark circles. These circles often appear due to shadows formed by puffiness and hollow tear troughs. By addressing both the bulging and the hollowing, we can reduce the shadow effect, making dark circles less noticeable. Thermage can lift the eye area, while hyaluronic acid fillers like Restylane Eyelight, Juvederm, and Belotero can restore fullness and smoothness to sunken tear troughs.
Personalized Eye Treatments
The eyes are one of the most commonly treated areas of the face, as they endure a variety of age-related issues. Schedule a complimentary consultation with us today, and we’ll help you determine the best treatments to keep your eyes looking youthful and vibrant.

September, Seriously
As fall arrives, it’s time to buckle down and focus on work and studies. With vacation days behind us, we often become more serious about our daily responsibilities. A crucial part of every day is how we feel, with happiness being a top priority for many. When we’re happy, we tend to excel in all areas of life—whether at work, home, school, or elsewhere.
Our self-perception plays a significant role in our happiness. The more confident we are in our abilities, the more secure we feel emotionally, and the more enthusiastic we are about life’s experiences, the happier we become. How we feel about our appearance also contributes to our overall well-being. The saying “Look good, feel good” holds true, and we’re here to help you embody that.
Now is an excellent time to focus on self-improvement, making subtle changes that enhance your natural beauty and boost your confidence. Fall is the perfect season to get serious about refining your look. Here are our top recommendations for this month:
Lift Your Spirits and Your Skin: With advanced dermal fillers like Juvederm, Radiesse, and the Restylane family, we can lift and contour your facial features, restoring natural fullness exactly where it’s needed. This nonsurgical, virtually pain-free “liquid facelift” can reduce wrinkles, lines, and folds, giving you a more refreshed and youthful appearance.
Whether we’re lifting the entire face or targeting specific areas such as under-eye bags, marionette lines, sagging eyelids, jowls, or flattened cheeks, we can even disguise bumps on the nose—avoiding the need for surgery and anesthesia, with no downtime required.
No More Turtlenecks: Infini microneedling is a particularly effective treatment for enhancing your skin’s natural production of collagen and elastin, two vital components for keeping your skin youthful and plump. Tiny needles penetrate the top layer of your skin, triggering new collagen and elastin production. This can lead to improved skin texture and firmness, with excellent results in reducing acne scars, pore size, and stretch marks.
Say Eye: Thermage CPT, often hailed as the first nonsurgical facelift, can transform your skin from head to toe. This thermal lift tightens loose skin on the eyelids, under-eye areas, abdomen, arms, legs, and even the buttocks. For the eye area, Thermage CPT reduces hooding, improves texture, and softens fine lines and crow’s feet. It’s a safe and effective option for eyelid rejuvenation.
Shape a Better You: SmartLipo Triplex is a minimally invasive method for removing unwanted fat and sculpting the body. This laser treatment melts fat cells and suctions them away. The updated Triplex technology uses three wavelengths of laser light for better fat removal, tighter skin, and high-definition body sculpting.
Schedule a complimentary consultation with our office, and we’ll create a personalized treatment plan just for you.

Turning Back Time: Effective Treatments for Sagging Skin
Sagging skin isn’t something you mark on your calendar: “Skin sagging, July 15th.” It’s a gradual change that sneaks up on you until one day, you notice it.
The once firm and taut skin now appears to droop. You understand that your body’s collagen production has slowed, but the effects are more noticeable than expected. Collagen, the natural substance that supports your skin, helps maintain a youthful and lifted appearance. As it depletes due to aging, hereditary factors, or environmental influences, your skin may begin to sag. This, combined with a decrease in elastin, the material that provides suppleness and resilience, results in a loss of skin tension and elasticity.
No area of your body is immune. You might notice sagging on your face, neck, eyelids, abdomen, arms, legs, and buttocks. While no non-surgical treatment can completely reverse this process, many options can significantly improve your appearance. We offer safe and effective treatments designed to help your skin look younger and tighter.
Here are a few:
- Thermage CPT: A thermal lift particularly effective for reducing loose skin around the eyes.
- Exilis Ultra 360: This treatment combines radiofrequency and ultrasound to offer maximum power and targeted control, focusing on specific areas that need attention.
- INFINI: A high-energy radiofrequency device that smooths wrinkles and plumps skin, also helpful for minimizing acne scarring.
- Fraxel Repair: A laser treatment that reduces deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, rough skin texture, and both acne and surgical scars.
- SmartLipo Triplex: A laser treatment that simultaneously removes fat and tightens skin.
- Kybella: A treatment used to minimize submental fat, commonly known as the “double chin.”
If sagging skin concerns you, come in and talk with us about how we can help you feel better. Our consultations are complimentary, so call today to schedule an appointment.

Reclaim Your Youth: Non-Invasive Solutions for Sagging Skin
As time passes, it’s natural for our skin to undergo changes. The once firm and resilient appearance may give way to sagging and drooping, signaling a decrease in collagen and elastin production—the building blocks of youthful skin. Whether due to aging, genetics, or environmental factors, sagging skin can affect various parts of the body, from the face and neck to the abdomen and limbs. But fear not, for there are safe and effective treatments available to restore firmness and vitality to your skin.
At East End Laser Care, we offer a range of non-invasive treatments designed to combat sagging skin and rejuvenate your appearance. Here’s how we can help:
Thermage CPT: Using radiofrequency technology, Thermage CPT stimulates collagen production, resulting in tighter, smoother skin with minimal downtime.

INFINI: By harnessing the power of microneedling and radiofrequency energy, INFINI stimulates collagen production, effectively tightening and lifting sagging skin.
Fraxel Repair Laser: Fraxel Repair Laser resurfaces the skin, promoting collagen regeneration and improving overall skin tone and texture.
Smartlipo Triplex: This advanced laser liposuction technique not only removes unwanted fat but also tightens the skin, resulting in a smoother, more contoured appearance.
Kybella: Specifically targeting submental fullness, or double chin, Kybella injections help eliminate fat and improve the appearance of sagging skin under the chin.
Ultra Femme 360: A non-invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to tighten and lift the skin in the vaginal and labial areas, promoting a more youthful appearance.
Rejuvenating Your Gaze: Non-Surgical Treatments for Aging Eyes
As we age, the delicate skin around our eyes is often the first to show signs of aging. From wrinkles and fine lines to puffiness and dark circles, aging eyes can detract from our overall appearance and make us look tired or older than we feel. Fortunately, there are a variety of options to rejuvenate the eye area without the need for invasive surgery.
Botox for Crow’s Feet: One of the most popular non-surgical treatments for aging eyes is Botox. This neuromodulator works by relaxing the muscles around the eyes, reducing the appearance of crow’s feet and dynamic wrinkles. With just a few quick injections, Botox can smooth out fine lines and restore a more youthful, refreshed look to the eye area.
Dermal Fillers for Tear Troughs: Hollowing or dark circles under the eyes, known as tear troughs, can contribute to a tired or aged appearance. Injectable dermal fillers, such as Restylane Eyelight and Belotero, can help plump up this area, smoothing out hollows and reducing the appearance of dark circles. By restoring lost volume, dermal fillers can rejuvenate the under-eye area and create a more rested, youthful appearance.
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Laser treatments such as Fraxel Repair or Fraxel Dual, can address a variety of concerns around the eyes, including wrinkles, fine lines, and uneven skin texture. Fractional laser resurfacing stimulates collagen production and promotes skin renewal, resulting in smoother, tighter skin with improved tone and texture. Laser treatments can also help reduce the appearance of sun damage and age spots, giving the eyes a brighter, more radiant look.
Thermage for Skin Tightening: Thermage utilizes radiofrequency energy to stimulate collagen production and tighten loose skin around the eyes. This non-invasive treatment targets sagging skin, smoothing out wrinkles and improving overall skin texture without surgery or downtime.
Exilis Ultra 360 for Eye Rejuvenation: Exilis Ultra 360 combines radiofrequency and ultrasound energies to target both superficial and deep layers of the skin around the eyes. By promoting collagen remodeling and tightening loose skin, Exilis Ultra 360 can reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and enhance the overall appearance of the eye area.
Whether you’re targeting wrinkles, dark circles, or sagging skin, there are effective options available to address your specific concerns without surgery. Call our office today and I’ll design a treatment plan just for you.

Thermage and Exilis – Powerful Solutions to Treat Sagging Skin
Sagging skin is a natural part of the aging process, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept it as an inevitable part of your life. Non-invasive treatments like Thermage and Exilis have emerged as game-changers in the world of skin rejuvenation, offering effective solutions for those seeking to combat sagging skin.
Thermage is a non-invasive skin tightening treatment that utilizes radiofrequency (RF) energy to target the skin’s deep layers. It works by delivering controlled RF energy deep into the skin, heating the collagen-rich layers. This heat stimulates collagen production, which gradually tightens and firms the skin over time. The gradual improvement achieved with Thermage ensures that your results appear natural. You won’t have that “pulled” or “frozen” look often associated with surgical procedures. Thermage is effective for treating sagging skin on various areas of the body, including the face, neck, arms, and abdomen. It can address concerns like jowls, loose skin on the abdomen, and wrinkled necklines.
Exilis is another non-invasive skin tightening treatment that uses a combination of RF energy and ultrasound to address sagging skin. The procedure employs a unique combination of RF and ultrasound energy, allowing it to target both the superficial and deep layers of the skin. This dual energy approach maximizes collagen stimulation to produce dramatic results without surgery or downtime.
If sagging skin has been a concern for you, Thermage and Exilis both offer a non-invasive, comfortable, and effective solution. These treatments stimulate collagen production, providing natural and long-lasting results.

Neck News
For many of you, the neck is a body area that you’d like to improve. Because the skin is so delicate, it’s prone to changes in tautness, smoothness and color, particularly as we age.
Some of you may notice little lines or bands that run horizontally around the neck or vertical cords (platysmal bands) that become prominent. Also, when collagen and elastin decrease over time, the skin on your neck may sag and look crepey. Changes in color may include brown spots and pigmentation, particularly on the decolletage, the chest area. Or, you may see red, blotchy or wrinkly skin, most often due to excessive exposure to the sun.
At home, remember to moisturize and use SPF and retinol products, as you would on your face. If you are still not happy, come see us. We have many ways to help your neck look beautiful and more youthful. Here are a few:
Infini: This radio frequency microneedling treatment tightens the neck and jowls and reduces crepiness, too.
Thermage CPT: This tightens skin on the neck and jowls, non-invasively. It’s often called a “Thermal Lift” treatment, and it’s highly effective for many areas of the body.
Exilis Ultra 360: Another thermal treatment, Exilis Ultra 360 tightens skin on the neck and jowls and reduces fat, non-invasively.
Fraxel Repair: This laser treatment resurfaces and tightens the skin on the neck and jowls and reduces crepiness and hyperpigmentation (brown spots). It is the procedure of choice for deep lines, hard-to-erase lip lines, pronounced photodamage, sagging face and neck skin, facial wrinkles and discolorations, age-related/sun-damaged rough skin texture, acne and surgical scars.
SmartLipo Triplex: This laser procedure permanently removes fat by destroying fat cells, removing them and tightening the skin. It is effective for large areas of the body as well as smaller ones, like the neck.
Kybella: This series of injections dissolves submental fat permanently and causes some skin contraction, too. Once fat cells are destroyed, they can no longer store or accumulate fat, so re-treatment is not expected.

Don’t Forget Those Hands
You may have taken care to keep your face and body looking youthful, but the telltale signs of aging happen in places that we might forget. Hands, even though we use them and see them all of the time, are one of the most overlooked spots for cosmetic treatment. Because they are so active and exposed to the elements, and because the skin is so delicate, hands are prone to sun damage, wrinkles and discoloration. Often, they can make you look older than you are.
There are a number of effective techniques that can help rejuvenate your hands, improving the quality and texture of your skin, while decreasing the wrinkling and prominent veins. If you’ve noticed prominent veins and tendons because of volume loss, or wrinkly and thin skin, or age spots, we have several techniques that can help.
First, injectable fillers may be used in various locations on the hands to plump and reshape sagging or loose skin. For fine lines, wrinkles, discoloration, sun damage or irregular pigmentation, we offer non invasive treatments like Fraxel DUAL and Thermage CPT.
Mid-summer may be an optimal time for these quick and easy hand rejuvenation treatments. Call our office for a complimentary consultation, and we’ll devise a plan just for you.
