About Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty
Non-surgical blepharoplasty is a minimally invasive technique that harnesses the power of hyaluronic acid fillers to correct tear troughs, hollows, dark circles, and fine lines. Utilizing fillers rather than incisions, this technique virtually eliminates extended downtime away from certain activities and risks associated with surgical blepharoplasty.
If dermal fillers are different from what you are looking for, Old Town Med Spa offers an alternative: AGNES RF. AGNES uses the latest cutting-edge radio frequency technology to safely enhance the facial regions, including the eye areas typically targeted during a blepharoplasty.
AGNES uses radiofrequency to isolate the treatment site, effectively reducing risks and recovery time. AGNES RF is an FDA-approved procedure and can be used for all skin types, which makes it a versatile treatment.
An AGNES eye treatment uses fine needles to tighten the skin and rejuvenate the eyes without the need for surgery. A traditional blepharoplasty uses incisions to cut away excess skin and tissue, which can increase your risk of bleeding and complications.
Results from AGNES can vary, though it is effective at tightening the skin under the eyes. You can discuss your unique goals with our team to decide if AGNES is the best non-surgical blepharoplasty option for you. Factors like skin laxity, excess skin, and the areas you wish to have treated will ultimately influence the best course of action.

How Is a Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Performed?
Depending on your concerns, a non-surgical blepharoplasty may include injectable fillers. Acid can add volume to the hollows under your eyes and help to smooth out wrinkles that are around your eyes. In addition, laser treatments can also improve your skin's texture, tighten and loosen creepy skin, and reduce and or improve pigmentation issues.
Topical treatments, such as a chemical peel, can also help improve your skin's tone and texture and address pigmentation irregularities. Laser treatments can also help to improve your skin's tone, tighten loose skin, and improve areas of hyperpigmentation.
What Common Concerns Can a Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty Treat?
In addition to filling in the hollows under your eyes, a non-surgical blepharoplasty can also help to correct the appearance of droopy eyelids, dark circles, and sunken appearance under your eyes and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These techniques are geared to restore a more youthful and refreshed appearance to your eyes without invasive surgery.
Who is an Ideal Candidate For a Non-Surgical Blepharoplasty?

It is equally important to follow a proper skincare regimen and avoid things that can accelerate the aging process, which can include prolonged sun exposure.
