GREENWICH, CT -- Until now, eliminating under eye bags and hollows meant undergoing eyelid surgery, or "blepharoplasty." Patients now have a new option.

Recent advances in facial aesthetics have allowed The Greenwich Medical Skincare and Laser Spa to use a new generation of soft tissue fillers to eliminate the appearance of baggy, sunken eyes, with no incisions, no sutures, and no dressings.

"There has been an incredible proliferation of soft tissue fillers over the last year," said Schorr, the Medical Director of The Greenwich Medical Skincare and Laser Spa in Greenwich, CT. One, FDA approved, soft filler used in a non-surgical eye lift is hyaluronic acid-based soft tissue filler called Restylane. Hyaluronic acid is a carbohydrate-based compound found naturally throughout the body.

"For some people, this procedure can provide remarkable results. But, to determine whether it's not right for you, Dr. Schorr recommends a consultation at The Greenwich Medical Skincare and Laser Spa.

The non-surgical eyelift consultation begins with a thorough evaluation and discussion of filler choices. The procedure itself is performed with topical numbing cream and takes minutes to perform. The injections may cause some temporary swelling and redness, which usually fades in just a few days.

"Patients can comfortably drive themselves home, and there is no need for antibiotics or pain medications," Schorr said.

The Clinicians at The Greenwich Spa have extensive training in minimally-invasive approaches to facial rejuvenation. Using a combination of these techniques, they have helped numerous clients achieve natural-looking, lasting results while minimizing downtime.

The Greenwich Medical Skincare and Laser Spa is a non-surgical medical aesthetic facility that is set in a soothing spa-like environment. Please contact the facility at 203.637.0662 with any questions.

Are your Eyes Bothering you? Botox and Hyluronic Acids (Juvederm, Restylane, Perlane) can help!



Get bigger eyes with Botox! When Botox is injected below the lower lash line, it can prevent the upward motion of the lower lid, resulting in the illusion of larger eyes! If ther is drooping in the upper eyelid, which can make the eyes look smaller than they actually are, Botox can be injected into the upper eyelid, creating more open, wider eyes.



Get rid of under-eye circles/hollows with HA’s! Hollows can affect people of all ages. They are caused by a lack of under-eye fat, causing the skin and tissue to sink in, resulting in under-eye circles and making the eyes look gaunt. Under eye hollows may be either a natural condition, due to genetics or a hereditary component, or the result of too much fat that was removed during blepharoplasty. FORTUNATELY Hyaluronic acid fillers, such as Restylane, Juvederm and Perlane can be injected into under-eye hollows to instantly smooth out depressions and plump up the are, ridding you of that tired look as well as the need for expensive under-eye concealers!

Who doesn’t love to have choices? Whether you’re a current Botox user or a virgin to the use of it, you now have another option for the treatment of wrinkles.

Recently Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) has been FDA approved for the temporary inprovement in the appearance of moderate to sever glabellar lines, also known as “the elevens”.

Dysport works much like Botox (Botulinum Toxin Type A) in the treatment of wrinkles and static lines between the brows, on the forehead and around the eyes (crows feet). Like Botox, Dysport is recommended no more frequently than every 3 months, is contraindicated during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, for patients less than 65yrs old, or for anyone with, or at risk of, peripheral motor neuropathic diseases, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or neuromuscular junction disorders (e.g., myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome). Dysport is also contraindicated in patients with infection at the proposed site, an allergy to cow’s-milk protein, or a known hypersensitivity to any botulinum toxin product (Botox) or its components

Unlike Botox, Dysport’s onset begins 24hrs after injection, with a 90% response by day 7.  The results typically last for 4 to 6 months, and peak in 1 month. The effects of Botox are typically seen between 2 and 10 days, with the full effect in 14 days, and the results typically lasting for 3 to 4 months, peaking at 2 months.

There is also a difference in the potency units, dosage and dilution of Dysport. They are not interchangeable with other preparations of botulinum toxin products and, therefore, their units cannot be compared to or converted into units of Botox. 

Currently Dysport is priced at $7/unit, but keep in mind, because of the difference in dosing, you will typically need twice the number of units as Botox. Generally Dysport is 20% less than Botox in most markets.
