Why are the eyelids dropping?
The passage of years causes changes in our skin, often leading to loss of firmness and collagen in the skin. This is also the case with the skin within the eyelids, which gradually starts to fall down and the look seems very tired. The causes of drooping eyelids also include weakness of the muscle that carries the eyelid. Working in poorly lit rooms and sometimes excess skin in this area. The causes are also not common, such as cancer, genetic shape of our face, or hypertrophy of adipose tissue, which occurs below the eyebrow arch. All this leads to a problem with drooping eyelids at a later age.

In the fight against drooping eyelids the treatments used by aesthetic medicine offices are helpful. All the proposed treatments are non-surgical procedures, whose task is to thicken the skin of the eyelids and raise them. The most commonly used and recommended treatments include: IQ plasma or Plexr. These are lifting procedures, which are designed to shrink the excess skin on the eyelids. This treatment is not only effective and safe, but its effects can be seen after the first time. It is also helpful to use a non-ablative fractional laser Emerge.
