Introducing IdealEyes to Solve the Tired Look Around Your Eyes

Pittsburgh, PA ( Pressreleasecollection ) May 26, 2010 — Introducing “IdealEyes” Six Steps to Solve the Tired Look Around Your Eyes – Without Surgery!

What’s the secret to beautiful, youthful eyes…..without a trip to the operating room?

Patients often complain of a tired look around their eyes that results from under-eye hollows, fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes, and dark circles under the eyes. These signs of aging often appear before problems arise elsewhere on their face and are very frustrating to patients.

Dr. Paul Leong, a fellowship trained Pittsburgh facial plastic surgeon and Director of Ideal Facial Plastic & Laser Surgery announces a combination approach to aging eyes - the “Ideal Non-Surgical Eyelid Lift” or “Ideal Eyes”.

“Ideal Eyes” is a fully customizable non-surgical approach to rejuvenate the eyes and combines six key steps. Very importantly, all injectables (Botox® Cosmetic and Restylane™) around the eyes are performed exclusively by Dr. Leong. Dr. Leong believes the quality of the result depends on the artistry of the individual performing the injections and does not delegate this responsibility.

Here are the 6 steps:

1. Restylane™ dermal filler to under eye hollows – As we age a hollow or trough often develops below the under eye fat pads. This hollow forms an unattractive border between the lower eyelid and the cheek that is not present in youth. Skillful injection of Restylane™ to this under eye hollow by Dr. Leong provides a remarkable improvement. While Dr. Leong injects a variety of fillers in different areas of the face, he prefers injecting Restylane™ in this location because it provides a very reliable and consistent result.
2. Botox® Cosmetic to the crows feet and the lines between the eyebrows – Botox® Cosmetic is the perfect approach to smooth the smile lines and the wrinkles between the eyebrows. Not only will Botox® Cosmetic improve these lines and provide a more relaxed appearance, if used consistently, it will prevent the formation of future wrinkles.
3. Chemical Peel – Dr. Leong’s customized chemical peel for the area around the eyes reduces skin irregularities and crepiness.
4. Under Eye Lightener – Some patients continue to have dark circles under their eyes even with the Restylane™ treatment to address the under eye hollows. These patients can benefit from medical grade lightener treatments specifically designed to safely and gently reduce the pigment in this area.
5. Latisse™ Eyelash Enhancer – This innovative and easy to use product has been proven to lengthen and darken eyelashes, providing the perfect complement to rejuvenated eyes.
6. Mineral Make-Up Consultation – Finally, our skin care specialists can assist you with choosing the highest grade of mineral make-up to maintain and enhance the effect of your “Ideal Eyes” treatment.

One of the major attractions of the “Ideal Eyes” approach is that there is no surgery involved and downtime is very short or none. Patients are able to quickly experience the benefit of revitalized and refreshed eyes.

Some frequently Asked Questions:

Who are the best candidates for “Ideal Eyes”?
Patients of any age who are beginning to notice the effects of aging around their eyes, particularly those that wish to avoid the time and expense of surgery.

What other techniques are available to revitalize the eyes?
Some patients may benefit from outpatient surgery to correct particular issues around the eyes. For example, “Ideal Eyes” can elevate the eyebrows somewhat and for a temporary period of time (4-6 months). However, if the patient desires a more substantial and permanent elevation of the brows, a surgical browlift should be discussed. Dr. Leong will review all of these options during his one-on-one consultation. As a facial plastic surgeon, Dr. Leong has the training and experience to guide patients to the best option.

Is the “Ideal Eyes” non-surgical treatment uncomfortable? How much down time is possible?
Patients find the treatment to be very tolerable. Numbing cream and ice can be used if the patient desires to further ease any discomfort. Very little downtime is usually experienced, generally with patients able to resume normal activity immediately. However, as with all injectables, mild bruising is possible.

Where can I get the “Ideal Eyes” treatment?
Dr. Leong performs the non-surgical “Ideal Eyes” treatment program at all of his offices in Western Pennsylvania: Sewickley, Pittsburgh (in the South Side Works), and Ligonier.

Dr. Leong focuses his practice exclusively on cosmetic procedures of the face and neck.
