The Adams Center Periorbital Rejuvenation

Wrinkles around the eyes, also known as “laugh lines,” “crow’s feet,” or “periorbital wrinkles” are one of the most common, and early signs of aging.

You don’t need to just accept laugh lines as a foregone conclusion. The Adams Center  has non-surgical treatments  for crow’s feet that include Botox, Total FX laser , Lux 1540, and the newest additions – Skin Anti-Aging Complex nutritional supplement, and OMNILUX new-U. By selectively combining these treatments we enable you to achieve the best result.

Botox and Dysport
Botox and Dysport work by reducing the activity of the muscles that cause laugh lines. Botox is a purified form of the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. It’s a safe, effective, time proven way to diminish the wrinkles around eyes, forehead, lips and neck.

TotalFX
TotalFX is the “gold standard” for overall non-surgical skin rejuvenation. Part of the UltraPulse system, the TotalFX laser includes both the broad area ActiveFX laser, and the DeepFX laser.

Lux1540
The Lux1540 is a non-ablative laser that heats the layers of skin to cause collagen regeneration during the skin's natural healing process to create healthy new tissue, rejuvenate skin, and reduce wrinkles.

Skin Anti-Aging Complex
Skin Anti-Aging Complex is a uniquely formulated dietary supplement that defends your skin against premature aging, from the inside out. AstraREAL® Astaxanthin (an extremely powerful antioxidant), and other vitamins and botanicals provide outstanding nutritional support for skin health to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, while improving the moisture levels, and elasticity of your skin.

OMNILUX new-U
OMNILUX new-U is the only FDA approved hand-held light therapy device that allows you to minimize crow’s feet. The light frequency used in new-U stimulates collagen production, increases blood flow to the cells, helps increase tissue oxygenation, and detoxification procedures.

The staff and I select the right combination for you to achieve the best result in the appearance of the area around the eye.

Are Dark Circles Under your Eyes Making you Look Older

I’m only 40, and my eyes look like my grandmother’s! What can I do?

Non-surgical treatments can be amazing for many areas, but the eyes are one area of the face where results without surgery like blepharoplasty are minimal in more advanced cases for baggy eyelid skin, or dark circles.

Dark Circles Under the Eyes
Dark circles under the eyes can be their own special joy. While many products say they work to correct dark circles, this is only true in limited situations. The causes for dark circles under the eyes are actually quite varied. These include diet, heredity, dehydration, a loss firmness in soft tissue structures, and a decrease in bone mass of the bone under the eye.

Eye Creams
The staff and I are often asked for recommendations on a great eye cream. While a high quality eye cream such as iS Clinical’s Eye Complex, our Firming Eye Cream, or Obagi Elastiderm Eye Cream can be great for correcting puffiness, fine lines and wrinkles, and in some cases, even minimizing dark circles depending on the cause, most are not. I have yet to come across a store bought formula that works well for dark circles under the eyes.

A Treatment the Works
While a blepharoplasty is one of the single best treatments for saggy eyelids, a blepharoplasty alone may not be enough to correct dark circles under the eyes. A total eyelid rejuvenation may be the best way to completely revitalize the areas around your eyes.

This three-step approach blends laser blepharoplasty (eyelid surgery), Arcus Marginalis Release, fat grafting, or Tear Trough Implants (depending on the exact cause of the dark circles), and a TotalFX treatment to totally revitalize the areas around your eyes. I’ll sometimes start patients with Obagi’s Elastiderm Eye cream to help lighten the pigment that accents the dark circle prior to surgery for superior results.
