Ive been noticing that my eyes seemed to have really aged in the last few weeks, does aging take place this rapidly or is it something else?
Although the eyes can show the signs and symptoms of certain systemic diseases, the complaint of looking aged makes systemic illness less likely here. This time of year in the Northeast the summer starts to catch up with us. Our skin can be dry and sun damaged. Our summer diets often contain more salt which can lead to puffy eyes upon waking in the morning.
Injectables such as Botox and Dysport can lessen the crow’s feet and relax the muscles around the eyes. Fillers such as Juvederm and Radiesse can be used to camouflage the lower eyelid/cheek junction giving a more youthful appearance. Blepharoplasty is the medical term for eyelift, where the bulging fat around the eyes is removed or repositioned and the excess skin is tightened. Many skin texture concerns can be addressed with lasers and chemical peels.
A lifestyle composed of a healthy diet, good skin regimen, rest and sun avoidance will allow these results to last longer.
