Tired eyes are a common complaint among many individuals and can be caused by various factors, including lack of sleep, environmental irritants, stress, and signs of aging like wrinkles and sagging skin. Fortunately, several cosmetic eye treatments are available to help transform tired-looking eyes into youthful, wide eyes.

Laser Skin & Surgery Center of New York is a renowned dermatology and surgery center with uniquely trained board-certified dermatologists. With more than 100 lasers and devices and customized treatment plans, our practice can help patients swap tired eyes for a youthful glow. Some of our best treatments for tired eyes include:

Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are a treatment that can address tired eyes. Botox is one of the most popular neuromodulators that targets expression lines and relaxes wrinkles. Through repetitive facial movements, like laughing or frowning, expression lines can become etched around the eye, making the skin appear older and tired. Neuromodulator injectables temporarily reduce muscle contractions around the eyes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Neuromodulators can also help lift drooping eyelids, giving the eyes a more open and alert appearance.

Fillers

Dermal fillers are another popular treatment for tired eyes. These fillers are injected into the skin to fill in wrinkles and restore lost facial volume. Dermal fillers can help enhance the appearance of aging or drooping eyes by filling in areas around the eyes where the skin has begun to lose elasticity. Dermal fillers can also add volume around the temples cheeks to help lift and rejuvenate the surrounding facial features.

• Juvederm is a hyaluronic acid-based filler that helps to plump up the skin and create smoother contours around the eyes. It works by replenishing lost facial volume and adding more support to the skin’s underlying structure. The result is a more youthful and refreshed appearance, with reduced signs of sagging and drooping around the eyes.
• Restylane is a hyaluronic acid-based gel dermal filler that helps to fill in wrinkles and restore lost facial volume. It is specifically designed to target the delicate areas around the eyes and can add volume to the brows and cheeks to achieve a more alert and refreshed look.

Lasers

Laser treatments can tighten the skin around the eyes, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and sagging. By delivering concentrated beams of light to specific areas of the skin, the laser stimulates collagen production and encourages skin renewal. As a result, the skin around the eyes appears firmer and more youthful. Fraxel and fractional lasers engage the body’s natural healing process by creating micro-channels in the dermal and deliver laser energy without damaging the surrounding skin. Some of the best fractional lasers for eye treatments include:

• Fraxel Re:store Dual
• Fraxel Re:pair
• LaseMD
• Clear + Brilliant

RF Microneedling

Radiofrequency microneedling is a unique treatment for tired eyes that combines radiofrequency waves with microneedling to reduce wrinkles, improve skin texture, and address sagging skin around the eyes. During this treatment, a microneedling device delivers tiny needles into the skin, which help create micro-injuries that stimulate natural collagen and elastin production.

At the same time, radiofrequency waves heat the deeper layers of skin, further stimulating collagen production and allowing for better absorption of skin care products like hyaluronic acid. This combination of radiofrequency energy and microneedling in devices like Genius helps to reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and give the eyes a youthful look.
Morpheus8 is an innovative microneedling device that treats even deeper subdermal tissue to achieve optimal results. The FDA-approved device rejuvenates the skin and treats signs of aging around the eyes like creases, wrinkles, uneven tone or texture, and sagging skin.

Cosmetic surgery

Minor cosmetic surgery is an option for more advanced or severe cases of tired eyes. Blepharoplasty, commonly referred to as “eyelid surgery,” is a surgical procedure that involves removing excess skin and fat from the upper and lower eyelids. This can help to reduce drooping and puffiness around the eyes, giving the eyes a more awake and youthful look. The procedure is quick and requires minimal downtime, making it an effective option for patients who want more dramatic and long-lasting results.
