How I fixed My Eye Wrinkles

Eye wrinkles are a problem expressed by so many women as they age. I wanted to share with you how I drastically improved the appearance of my eyes without surgery. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for surgery when it’s needed, but I always try to make improvements on my own before I decide to invest in surgical intervention.

Here’s what my eyes looked like a decade ago compared to now…..

The key to success is consistency and reminding yourself that these results do not happen over night. It’s very similar to getting fit, it requires consistent effort over time. The same goes for skincare and facial rejuvenation. My passion for facial rejuvenation started years ago. It’s easy to feel as though the efforts are futile, but I can promise you that with consistency, and the willingness to learn, you will be amazed at the results you can achieve on your own.

Here are my ten steps to improving the eye area! I’ve improved other areas of my face as well, but today we’ll focus on the eyes.

  1. Monthly Microneedling – People do not give enough credit to the benefits of microneedling. The needling alone, not to mention the skin boosters you can use with needling, help to build much needed collagen and elastins in the skin. I use a Dr. Pen M8 that has been going strong for nearly a decade now. Lately I’ve been loving Juve Face from Acecosm.com discount code STACY10, which contains polyneucleotides to improve the skin both on a surface and cellular level. This product is actually priced really well for the ingredient profile, which reminds me a lot of Rejuran Healer which was more than double the price. I have free educational videos on all of this at Rumble.com/GorgeouslyAging
  2. Tox – Tox around the eye softens the obicularis oculi muscle that causes squinting, crows feet and under eye wrinkles. By treating the muscle around the eye, it provides a smoothing effect in the eye area and a lifting effect of the later aspect of the eyebrow. I use Dehantox also from Acecosm.com. My discount code gives customers 10% off site wide. I also have educational videos on this process, that you can watch on my Rumble channel.
  3. Mesotherapy – Mesotherapy is tiny injections of a skin booster very shallow into the skin. I do a mesotherapy treatment every other month, which includes mesotherapy around the eyes. My go to booster for the eye area is Juve Eyes, also from Acecosm. I’ve trusted Acecosm for my facial rejuvenation for years. Their products are high quality and authentic. I fully trust this company for all of my facial rejuvenation product needs. Juve Eyes is also a polyneucleotide based skin booster specific for the eye area. This product can be microneedled into the skin or applied with a mesotherapy technique.
  4. PDO Threads – Threads have been a really important part of my facial rejuvenation journey. They create an incredible webbing under the skin and leave behind natural collagen as a support system as we age. Threads can be a safer alternative to filler or used in conjunction with filler. I find them to be an incredibly valuable tool in supporting and restoring volume and support in the aging face. For under the eyes I like PDO screw threads in 25mm length from Acecosm. I repeat this once a year as needed.
  5. Under Eye Filler – I do use a small amount of filler under my eyes for tear trough and under eye volume loss, but very rarelly. I’ve treated my under eyes with filler only 3 times in ten years. When I do treat them I used Tesoro Deep with Lidocaine from Acecosm.com discount code STACY10 – All of my videos can be found on Rumble.com/GorgeouslyAging
  6. TCA Peels – I try to do a TCA Peel twice a year on my face, neck, and chest. It’s much easier than you might thing and it has so many benefits to skin tone, texture, and pigmentation. It also makes the pores look so much nicer. I’ve talked to dermatologist that say that regular TCA Peels actually can have a better result over time than CO2 laser. Not to mention its safe, easy and inexpensive to do at home. I get my TCA Peel products from Platinum Skin Care discount code STACY10
  7. Nira Laser – There are so many devices out there that are just a waste of money. A good at home laser is absolutely worth the investment. I use mine 4-7 times a week around my eyes. I also have the Nira Pro, which is the larger laser to do my whole face, neck and chest. You can check out the Nira Precision Laser and NIra Pro Laser here. Discount code Stacy10 for 10% off.
  8. Red LED Mask – Red LED Mask is well studied to have anti aging benefits, and it’s a device I’ve used consistently for a decade. I started off which a very expensive mask from England. I now use a much more affordable mask from Megelin. Discount code STACY10
  9. ESTROGEN – I use a prescribed estrogen patch and an over the counter estrogen cream. Both truly help with skin quality and holding back the rapid onset of aging that is caused by menopause. Estrogen patches that are prescibed are a different form of estrogen than topical estrogen for the face. The topical estrogen can be found here.
  10. Sunscreen – You’ve probably heard it over and over, but sun protection truly is critical to prevention of aging. If we are going to put in the effort to improve wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and volume loss of the skin, it’s profoundly important to prevent continued damage and the undoing of the progress we make through the efforts listed above. Beyond daily sunscreen, consider wearing hats and avoiding prolonged sun exposure. Lately I’ve been using the Kopari Bright as Day Sheer Mineral Sunscreen which is beautiful on mature skin.
  11. Consistency – Try to be as consistent as possible in your efforts. Even if you only choose one thing from this list above, try to do it with consistency. You’ll be amazed when you look back at the improvement your efforts will show in your skin over time.

How to Do a TCA + Dream Peel at Home

Hello friends.

In the video below I’ll demonstrate how to do a TCA Peel safely at home. Chemical Peels are a wonderful way to treat hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles, skin texture, acne scarring, and improve the look of enlarged pores.

A few things I’d like to stress are starting with a 13% TCA Peel and work your way up to 20%. It’s a process that should not be rushed. I get my TCA Peel from PlatinumSkincare.com – Discount code STACY10.

The TCA Peel can be used alone or combined with Jessners and/or the Vitamin A Dream Peel. In this video I’ve done a combination of 13% TCA and Dream Peel.

Steps

Double cleanse the skin wtih CeraVE SA Cleanser

Alcohol Swab the treatment area twice

Mask any sensitive areas of the skin like the lips and under eyes with Aquaphor or CeraVE Healing Ointment

Saturate a sterile gauze with TCA Peel liquid. Squeeze excess out so the gauze is not dripping. You do NOT want TCA in your eyes.

TCA should be applied in layers. For a new user, 1-2 layers only with five minutes between layers. Do not rinse between layers. Apply the second and subsequent layers on top of the previous. A hand held fan helps cool the skin during the five minutes between layers.

Gradually build up to doing a 13% TCA Peel with five layers. If white blanching or frosting appears, that is an indication that no more layers are needed. Do not over treat the skin. Reminder, set a timer for five minutes between each layer. Start with no more than 2 layers in your first session, three layers the next treatment and so on.

A 2 layer 13% TCA Peels can be repeated after 2 weeks, 3 to 4 layers repeat after 4-5 weeks, and five full layers wait a full 6-8 weeks between treatment. The more layers and the stronger the peel, the longer we allow the skin to fully rejuvenate before repeating treatment. IMPORTANT! Skin damage can accure if caution is not used and treatments are repeated too close together.

Once the desired number of layers are completed, sooth the skin with a cold damp cloth, pressing gently against the treatment area. I like to put my cloth into a bowl of ice water. I do this several times to sooth the skin. Pat the skin gently to dry.

Apply the Vitamin A Dream Peel (optional, but a great combination treatment) Discount code STACY10 gets you 10% off site wide with PlatinumSkincare.com

The Dream Peel is an oily vitamin A and should sit on the skin for 6-8 hours. If done at night, simply sleep with it on, and rinse off in the morning with cool water. If done during the day, rinse with cool water after 6-8 hours. Stay out of the sun or light if you have the Dream Peel on during the day.

After 24 hours, gently wash skin with your fingers and a gentle cleanser like the HadaLabo HA Bubble Cleanser .

It is important to keep the skin moisturized after a chemical peel. I use Cicalfate+ by Avene as my post treatment restorative cream.

The healing time for a chemical peel is dependant on the type, strength and number of layers. In my case with 4 layers and the Dream Peel I expect about a 10 days healing period. Flaking generally appears after 3 days and lasts until day 9 or 10. This varies for everyone. The Dr Jart+ Cicapair is a wonderful color correcting SPF to tone redness and offer sun protection. Sun protection is hugely important following any chemical peel treatment. The skin will be very sensitive for several weeks post peel.

Another wonderful sunscreen for every day use AND for post treatment is CeraVe Hydrating Mineral Sunscreen – I like the tinted formula, but the clear is great, too.

It’s important not to pick or pull at the skin as it flakes during the healing process. Pulling at the skin can cause scarring. Allow the skin to flake off on it’s own. If skin comes off when making gentle circular motions when cleansing, that’s ok!!

The skin will feel sun burned, tight, and may itch a little bit after a peel. Keeping the skin moisturized several times a day will help.

Here’s the full treatment video!
