You can now have your crow's feet
ironed out without having to go under the knife.
Medical device company
Thermage has
developed a technology that tightens the skin of the eyelid by just
applying heat to it.
Dr Martin Huang, a plastic surgeon,
explained about the treatment: "It involves delivering radio frequency
energy into the skin of the eyelid and we're referring to both the upper
and lower eyelids. When that energy goes into the skin, it causes
tightening of the collagen fibers as well as stimulates the skin cells
to produce new collagen.
"So over a period of time, the
tightened collagen and the new collagen together result in a tightening
of the skin. So this will allow us to rejuvenate the skin in that area."
Beverly Bird is one person who has
received such eye treatment.
She said: "You just feel a bit of heat
when he's doing it, and when he got to certain parts, you can feel more
heat.... where it's closer to the bone, that's when you feel more heat.
Otherwise, it was fine."
