Heavy or hooded eyelids can make you look tired, even after a full night's sleep. For years, the main solution was surgery. Today there are gentler options for people who want a refreshed look without incisions or recovery time.
Surgical blepharoplasty
Eyelid surgery removes excess skin and sometimes fat from the upper or lower lids. It can create a dramatic change and is the right choice for some people, especially when lids block vision. It also means anesthesia, incisions and a recovery period of a week or more.
OptiLIFT by Lumenis
OptiLIFT is a non-invasive treatment, often called a non-surgical blepharoplasty, that stimulates and tightens the muscles around the eyes and face, helping with lower lid laxity, incomplete blinking and fine lines. There are no needles and no incisions. Sessions are quick and you can return to your day right after.

- Approach: surgery removes tissue; OptiLIFT tones supporting muscles
- Results: surgery is a one-time procedure; OptiLIFT builds over a short series
