Introduction: Periorbital wrinkles are very common and permanent cutaneous folds that develop on the periocular area. The treatment for wrinkles varies with the degree of severity. A relatively new treatment, called collagen induction therapy (CIT), seems to be appropriate for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles. Objective: To confi rm the usefulness of CIT in periorbital wrinkles treatment. ...

Introduction: Periorbital wrinkles are an important component of facial aging that can be minimized with botulinum toxin treatment. Objective:To treat periorbital wrinkles through botulinum toxin injections in the orbicularis muscle, using classic lateral points and additional points in the lower eyelid, which were developed based on the classification of these wrinkles. Methods: Clinical and p...

BACKGROUND Conservative techniques designed to block or delay the aging process have been utilized in various ways for many years. However, their effects can be relatively minimal and short-term in most cases compared to surgery. The objective of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of gold thread implantation for the treatment of periorbital wrinkles. METHODS A total of 78 cons...

BACKGROUND Photodynamic therapy (PDT) with 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is effective for the treatment of photoaging. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and safety of PDT using a novel 0.5% liposome-encapsulated 5-ALA spray and an intense pulsed light (IPL) system (Ellipse Flex PPT) in reduction of periorbital and nasolabial wrinkles. PATIENTS AND METHODS Thirty healthy volunteers, aged 35...

Periorbital rhytids are often the first signs of aging skin for which young patients seek a non-invasive, no downtime treatment. Recently, several skin-tightening modalities based on deep dermal heating with various energy sources, such as monopolar and bipolar radiofrequency, as well as laser and broadband infrared light sources, have been introduced to treat mild wrinkles and skin laxity. Thi...

Laxity and wrinkles of the lower eyelid skin are common manifestations of photoaging. They often appear earlier on the eyelids than on adjacent facial skin. The pulsed CO2 laser has been shown to tighten loose skin and reduce wrinkles in the periorbital region (Fitzpatrick 1996). The authors of this study suggested that the improvements were due to tissue-heating effects that vaporized intracel...

This article discusses adjunctive skin care of the brow and periorbital region. Anatomic properties of eyelid skin require skin care products specifically suited to this area. Common patient concerns, including wrinkles, infraorbital dark circles, puffiness, and thinning eyebrows and eyelashes, are addressed in the context of contributing anatomic and physiologic factors and the classes of and/...

BACKGROUND Recently, radiofrequency (RF) devices have been introduced and commercialized for nonablative procedures in dermatology and plastic surgery for the treatment of age-related rhytides and lax skin. OBJECTIVE The objective was to assess the efficacy and safety of a novel RF device (Accent, Alma Lasers, Ltd, Caesarea, Israel) for the treatment of rhytides and lax skin. METHODS AND MA...

The skin is exposed to many factors that cause wrinkling and loss of elasticity. For the past 30 years, Botulinum Toxin (BT) injections have been gold standard treatment for wrinkle reduction. In this article, authors propose a permanent crow’s feet wrinkles: Percutaneous Electromyoneurolysis (PEMN) Orbicularis Oculi Muscle (OOM) which blocks muscular nerve fibers using an electrosurgical unit....
