The Madonna Eye Lift, a non-surgical eye rejuvenation procedure.
Like this pop divas lyrics, the Madonna Eye Lift is a non-surgical procedure that is “Just like a prayer” (or an answer to one)…and “It’s like a dream to me…”
Many people are always wondering how those in Hollywood stay looking so young year after year, and especially how does the Queen Diva of Pop, Madonna achieve her youthful appearance without looking “done” and without surgery?
The Madonna eye lift technique was pioneered by Board Certified Dermatologist, Dr. Bruce Katz. Dr. Katz being a leading innovator of advanced laser technology and skin resurfacing techniques realized that by using fractional lasers he could dramatically improve and reverse the aging process around the eyes without surgery, minimal to no downtime and few to no risks.
Millions of patients have benefited from fractional laser treatments since its introduction and FDA clearance more than 14 year ago. Continual advances in technology and the use of these lasers now allow for a very viable, safe and effective alternative to conventional eyelid surgery.
The Madonna Eye Lift procedure uses a fractional laser beam to break up damaged elastic fibers, creating small microscopic channels where fresh new collagen tissues develop. This process improves the tone, texture and appearance of the treated areas to reveal new, tighter, smoother and lifted skin.
The Madonna Eye Lift treatment addresses both texture and pigmentation, improving wrinkles along with reducing dark under eye circles. A study that included over 300 patients showed consistent, satisfying results that included reduction of dark circles, elimination of eye wrinkles (crows feet), and tightening of upper and lower eyelid skin (reducing sagging & drooping).
Who is a candidate for The Madonna Eye Lift?:
If you are experiencing any of the following issues, this procedure may be right for you:
-Dark Under Eye Circles
-Wrinkles or “Crows Feet” around your eyes
– Loose or excess eyelid skin (upper and lower eye)
– Drooping or uneven eyebrows
This procedure can be done on almost anyone experiencing any of these symptoms regardless of their age, skin type or skin color. It is recommended that people with darker skin tones undergo a small “spot test” prior to the procedure.
Treatment Expectations:
Before the procedure is done, a topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area, once numb, the skin is then prepped, and metal eye shields are inserted into the eye to protect the cornea and retina. The actual procedure utilizes a laser machine that emits a beam that many people describe as “snappy or prickling” but not painful. The procedure is very quick and the entire process takes approximately 20 minutes.
Immediately post procedure the treated area will feel warm and slightly red or pink in appearance (like a mild sunburn). There can be some mild to moderate swelling expected and as the skin cells rejuvenate some mild flaking of the skin can be expected.
Patients will require 3-6 sessions spaced apart approximately every 2-3 weeks. Most people start to notice significant results after their second treatment with continued improvement up to 6 months following their last treatment session. Clinical results are expected to last for several years.
