Hey, Bright Eyes!

As we age, our skin changes…and not always in a good way. Natural volume begins to diminish as wrinkles and folds form.

Mann Eye is pleased to offer several leading treatments that can fill in deep creases or scars, improve facial contours and give body and definition to the eye, cheek, lip and chin areas.

Surgical

Not looking as young as you feel when you look in the mirror? We feel you.

Signs of aging often show first around the eyes with excess, drooping skin that makes you appear sad or angry or with eyes that look tired due to puffiness or bags. But you don’t have to live with it!

Advances in cosmetic surgery have allowed ophthalmic surgeons like Dr. Linda Pope to use minimally invasive techniques for rejuvenating the eye area. Saving you time and money, most procedures are performed on an outpatient basis using local anesthesia.

Blepharoplasty (Eyelid surgery) is a surgical procedure designed to improve the appearance of the upper eyelids, lower eyelids, or both. The goal of blepharoplasty is to diminish the amount of excess or sagging skin, muscle and fat.

If you are bothered by upper eyelids with drooping skin or by eyes that look tired due to puffiness or bags, blepharoplasty may be right for you. The procedure can be performed in the office or ASC, depending on specific medical criteria.

• Upper blepharoplasty can also improve visual function. In these cases, insurance often covers the cost of upper eyelid surgery; especially if it hinders your vision.
• Lower blepharoplasty addresses excess skin and puffiness and is a cosmetic procedure. For this reason, lower blephs are not covered by insurance.

Ptosis Repair treats eyelids that impede vision. To start, let’s define the term. A ptosis is a drooping of the upper eyelid due to paralysis or disease, or sometimes as a congenital condition.

Ptosis repair is a surgical procedure that involves changing the height of the eyelid, rather than removing tissue as in the case of blepharoplasty. It is a delicate procedure best performed by an experienced ophthalmologist with training in eye surgery.

Permanent Makeup

Permanent makeup (also called micropigmentation or cosmetic tattooing) gives you the option of waking up every day with your “face on.” You can swim, exercise, shower and wake up still looking put together and ready to go. Treatment areas offered at Mann Eye Institute include eyebrows and eyeliner (upper and/or lower lid).

Wake Up and Makeup!

You could benefit from micropigmentation if you:

• Have thinning or absent eyebrows and/or scars in the brow area
• Have trouble applying eyeliner evenly
• Have trouble seeing well enough to apply eyeliner when you remove your glasses
• Have watery or teary eyes
• Rub your eyelids and/or smear your eye makeup a lot of the time
• Want to save time on your “morning makeup routine”
• Wear contact lenses
• Have had LASIK
• Are allergic to ordinary cosmetics

IPL

Do you wish the appearance of your skin looked smoother? Do you have sunspots, acne scars, or signs of rosacea that you want to disappear?

Thanks to a treatment called IPL (intense pulsed light therapy), you can look visibly younger while reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, improving your skin’s texture, minimizing redness, and looking more radiant.

IPL uses light to target melanin within your skin. IPL penetrates the second layer of the skin, called the dermis, without causing any damage to the top layer of the skin. The pigment in your skin absorbs the light energy from the treatment and heats photodamaged cells in your skin to break them down.

Your body then naturally removes any damaged tissue and, with it, any unwanted pigment. The result? You’re left with glowing, more vibrant skin!

The best thing about IPL is that it not only leaves your skin looking better than it has in years, but it’s a low-risk procedure that’s well-tolerated by most patients. IPL sessions typically last 5-15 minutes, at most, and only cause minimal discomfort.

Side effects are minimal and may include edema, blistering, crusting, redness, and purpura. These will usually resolve on their own after about 48 hours.

Mann Eye uses cooling gel and cold air during treatment to help keep you as comfortable as possible. Results are long-lasting, meaning you can look forward to several years of rejuvenated skin!

Some patients choose to come in every year to touch up their skin, keeping them looking better than ever. IPL can also be used as a standalone treatment or combined with other treatments.

Be sure to discuss your options with your doctor at Mann Eye. If you want skin that looks young, fresh, and glowing, IPL can help! Isn’t it time to look as young as you already feel?
