Botox: It’s the most widely known (and the most popular) injectable treatment for signs of aging in the United States.

Are you sick of ingrown hairs, razor burns, and cuts from shaving? If so, it’s time to give laser hair removal a try. This hair removal method provides countless benefits over shaving, from less irritation to longer-lasting results.

Let’s learn more about laser hair removal as an alternative to shaving. 

The Downsides of Shaving

When you shave, the razor only cuts off the hair from where it emerges through the skin. This leaves the hair root intact. So, it will grow back faster than if the root was removed. Additionally, shaving flattens the end of each hair strand, creating an optical illusion that makes hair look thicker when it grows back.  (more…)

Age can take a toll on our eyes, and not only with the need for reading glasses. The aging process can also impact the appearance of your eyes due to stretched, sagging skin from the eyelids. This can diminish the bright, alert look that your eyes had in your youth. 

Thankfully, this common effect of aging can be corrected with blepharoplasty. This widely performed plastic surgery procedure will help you show off your beautiful eyes once again by addressing sagging upper eyelids or under-eye bags. 

What is Blepharoplasty?

Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure used to enhance the appearance of the upper and/or lower eyelids. It may be used purely for aesthetic reasons, or to restore the patient’s field of vision after it’s been obstructed by sagging eyelid skin.   (more…)

People say that the eyes are the windows to the soul. This may be true, but they can also show signs of aging that diminish your youthful appearance. One such sign of aging is a negative canthal angle tilt. This means that the corners of the eyes tilt downward in relation to the nose side corner. 

Canthopexy is a procedure that can correct a negative canthal angle tilt and dramatically rejuvenate the appearance of your eyes. Here, we’ll explore the benefits of canthopexy for aging eyes.  

What Causes a Negative Canthal Angle Tilt?

Before diving into the canthopexy procedure, let’s go over the typical cause of a negative canthal angle tilt. 

While this aesthetic concern can be genetic, it’s most often caused by a stretched lateral canthal tendon. This tendon is located at the outer corner of the eye and supports the lower eyelid. A strong, healthy lateral canthal tendon will prevent the lower eyelids from drooping.  (more…)
