Nonsurgical Blepharoplasty in Westlake, OH

As we age, the skin of the upper eyelids can begin to droop and sag, creating a tired, aged appearance and even impacting our vision. At the same time, the area under the eyes can begin to bulge, creating an undesirable puffy look. While blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery) can dramatically refresh the eyes' appearance and improve vision, it can be costly with a long recovery time. That's why at The Facial Aesthetics Center at Westlake Family Dental Care, Dr. Jenninfer (Dr. Jenn) Psota Dougherty offers an innovative alternative to eyelid surgery: nonsurgical blepharoplasty with the advanced Opus® Colibri® system. Using precise, focused fractional plasma energy, this treatment can tighten drooping eyelids and reduce undereye bulging without the cost and recovery time of surgery. If you'd like to learn more about nonsurgical blepharoplasty and how it can rejuvenate your look and improve vision, contact our Westlake, OH office today to schedule a consultation.

Candidates for nonsurgical blepharoplasty at The Facial Aesthetics Center at Westlake Family Dental Careare individuals looking to rejuvenate the appearance of their eyes without undergoing surgery. Ideal candidates include those with mild to moderate eyelid sagging, puffiness, or fine lines around the eyes.

Nonsurgical blepharoplasty with the Opus Colibri handpiece leverages the power of RF (radiofrequency) energy to create a safe, precisely controlled plasma arc between the handpiece and the skin of the eyelids. This focused energy tightens and firms the eyelids while reducing undereye puffiness, lines, and wrinkles (like Crow's feet) by treating both the surface and deep skin layers. This energy stimulates natural collagen production, which revitalizes skin health and appearance.

When you come in for your procedure at The Facial Aesthetics Center, you can relax in a treatment chair while the skin of your face is thoroughly cleansed. Then we'll apply a topical anesthetic to help keep you comfortable during the procedure. The Colibri handpiece will be moved over the eyelids and eye areas. Most patients say the procedure feels like a tingling with deep heat, but it isn't painful. Most treatment sessions last about 45 minutes to an hour.

After a nonsurgical blepharoplasty, you can expect minimal downtime with some swelling, redness, or mild discomfort around the eye area, which usually subsides within a few days. Results such as tighter, smoother skin around the eyes will gradually appear as the treated area heals and collagen production increases. Most patients can resume their regular activities shortly after the procedure, with noticeable improvements over the following weeks. For the best results, we may recommend multiple treatment sessions, with many patients seeing the best results with about 3 – 4 sessions spaced a month apart. It's important to follow any aftercare instructions provided by our team in Westlake, OH to ensure optimal healing and results.
