Over time, the skin loses elasticity, the ability to retract when stretched. This loss is one of the contributing factors to lines and wrinkles, not to mention the jowls that worsen each year. While there are precautions that one may take to minimize the effects of aging, such as protecting their skin from unnecessary UV […]
Years ago, if one wanted to refresh their appearance, they may undergo a facelift. In the early 2000s, anti-aging took a turn away from surgery. Over the course of the past 15-plus years, more facial rejuvenating treatments involved injectables like Botox and dermal fillers. Today, we’ve got even more to appreciate in the anti-aging game. […]
Eyelid surgery has become a popular procedure for adults who want to revive the energetic value of their face. We all know that our inner vibrancy shines through our eyes, so correcting age-related sagging and narrowing makes perfect sense. As often happens when a procedure demonstrates effectiveness, more people start having it. This isn’t entirely […]
A twitching eyelid can be a frustrating problem when it lingers for even a few hours. For individuals whose eyelids twitch involuntarily and without ceasing, help is needed. The medical term for a twitching eyelid is blepharospasm. This condition involves the abnormal contraction of the eye muscles due to some type of neurological “glitch.” One […]

Fat injections, or fat transfer, has become a popular form of facial rejuvenation. The multi-step process offers improvements that can last for years. Fat can integrate nicely into existing tissue in the mid-face to soften lines around the nose and mouth or recontour cheeks that have lost fullness with age. Fat injections are also administered […]
In fashion, what is old almost always becomes new again. Could we say the same thing about a cosmetic treatment like Botox? It’s possible, but not in the same way it occurs with fashion trends. Botox has been around for several years and, in that time, we’ve come to know so much about it that […]
A recent study on sunscreen use revealed that most folks inherently forget one area of the face when applying this necessary product: the eyes. We don’t have to think too hard to see why. Most of us are relatively shy about applying any product around the eyes for fear of unsolicited irritation. The problem is, […]
The upper and lower eyelids are supposed to adhere to the ocular surface. An eyelid that turns outward can be concerning for several reasons.
