Nonsurgical Eye Lift and Skin Tightening

Droopy eyelids, medically known as ptosis, can be a cosmetic concern for many people and, in severe cases, may even impair vision. Thankfully, modern advancements in medical technology, like the Opus Colibri, offer a minimally invasive and effective solution to address this issue.

The Opus Colibri eye treatment is a nonsurgical blepharoplasty treatment that tightens sagging eye skin and rejuvenates the appearance of your eyes without the need for surgery. The delicate skin on the eyelid and undereye areas are treated with radiofrequency and fractional-plasma energy to stimulate the body’s natural collagen production, resulting in a more youthful, softened, and alert appearance. This treatment is a highly effective alternative to more invasive surgical procedures without significant downtime.

Benefits

• Minimizes the appearance of drooping or loose skin on the eyelid and undereye areas.
• Tightens skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Non-surgical and less expensive than surgery
• Builds collagen
• Long-lasting results

Who’s a candidate

The Opus^® Colibri treatment is ideal for individuals seeking a non-surgical solution to rejuvenate the skin around the eyes. Candidates include those who:

• Have mild to moderate signs of aging — Sagging or loose skin around the eyes; fine lines or wrinkles near the eyes; early signs of drooping eyelids.
• Want a non-surgical option — Prefer to avoid invasive surgical procedures like blepharoplasty. Desire minimal downtime and quicker recovery compared to surgery.
• Are in good overall health — Do not have serious medical conditions that might impair healing. Are free from active infections or skin conditions in the treatment area.
• Have realistic expectations — Understand that results are more subtle compared to surgical procedures. Are willing to undergo multiple sessions for optimal results if necessary.
• Have not recently had certain treatments — Recent procedures near the eyes may make the skin more sensitive. If you have had an undereye filler treatment, you should wait 4 months before having an Opus Colibri treatment.

How it works

A prescription-strength topical numbing cream is applied to the treatment area for 45 minutes to ensure maximum comfort, and then the Opus Colibri device delivers radiofrequency and fractional plasma technology to the eyelid and undereye areas to create controlled micro injuries to the skin, which causes micro-ablation damage and skin contraction. This treatment takes about 30 minutes after numbing. During and after the treatment, patients may feel a warm sensation similar to how a sunburn feels, but it should subside quickly. Overall, the procedure is relatively painless, and patients can return to their daily routine immediately after the treatment.

Results

Builds collagen, resulting in tighter, smoother skin and a refreshed, younger look.

What is the downtime?

Because Opus Collibri creates minimal inflammation, the average downtime consisting of pink, blotchy, tight, and dry skin is 1-3 days and you can resume your normal activities whenever you feel ready. Typically, nobody will notice you had anything done 48 hours post treatment. Following are the phases of skin recovery.

• Directly after treatment – the skin is pink, blotchy, and looks and feels like a sunburn. Swelling may occur and last up to 3 days post treatment.
• 1-3 days post treatment – the skin is less pink and blotchy and will be tight, dry, and have a rough texture. There may be areas of the skin that have micro scabbing that will exfoliate over a few days. You can wear makeup starting 48 hours post treatment.
• 4-7 days post treatment – the skin color has returned to normal, and your skin will be tight, dry, and flakey.
• Day 24 to 1 year post treatment – The newly formed collagen fibers form a network, and the skin becomes increasingly stronger. It may take several months for the regeneration phase to complete and for the connective tissue structures to reorganize. This is the treatment that keeps on giving, and results can continue to be seen up to one-year post-treatment.

How many treatments are needed?

Visible results can be seen with one treatment. For optimal results, a series of 3 treatments spaced 6-8 weeks apart is recommended with ongoing maintenance treatments as needed.
