Eye Treatments
At Bellair Laser Clinic we offer treatments specifically for the treatment of skin laxity and wrinkles around the eyes, on eye lids as well as dark under eye circles. These treatments are thermage, carboxytherapy, and dermal fillers
Thermage For Eyes
Thermage is the only technology which allows us to treat the upper and lower eyelids safely and effectively. The inner eyelid is safely protected with special shields placed in the inner eyelid with the use of medicated drops. The Thermage handpiece is placed on the top of the eyelid directing the RF energy directly into the skin. The build-up of heat triggers the body to produce collagen and re-model existing collagen resulting in tightening of the skin on the eye lid and around the eyes.
Carboxytherapy For Dark Undereye Circles
Carboxytherapy can dramatically improve the appearance of dark under-eye circles. Although sometimes caused by darkened pigment, or a hollow depression below the lower eyelids [tear trough deformity], the majority of dark under-eye circles are caused by poor circulation beneath the lower eyelids [vascular pooling]. The capillary network of the lower eyelids can become congested for a variety of reasons. The lack of appropriate oxygenation to the lower eyelid skin causes a bluish cast to show through the thin skin around the eyes. With age, the skin also begins to fall which makes this capillary network more prodominant further creating a tired appearance. Carboxytherapy works to improve the capillary network of the lower eyelids, as well as to increase the dermal collagen layer in the lower eyelid skin. By injecting a small amount of carbon dioxide gas into the affected areas, blood flow is increased by angiogenesis and vasodilation of these blood vessels.
The bluish cast is replaced with a healthy pink tone, a result of oxygenated blood in the area. Once a series of sessions is completed, the skins collagen and elastin fibers are re-inforced smoothing out lines around the eyes. The application of carboxytherapy will also smooth out the "hollow look" around the eyes.
Botulinum toxin A For Crows Feet
Botulinum toxin A and Dysport is an injection that provides an immediate solution to smoothing out lines and wrinkles around the eyes. Botulinum toxin A will relax facial muscles which are responsible for causing frown lines and crows feet. Botulinum toxin A is an excellent treatment for crows feet by preventing the crease formation in the skin which ultimately damages the collagen around the eyes.
Fine lines around the eyes develop into deep wrinkles over time as the lines are constantly re-enforced with the muscle contraction. Our clients love Botulinum toxin A because the results are instant and last approximately 3 to 5 months. All of our Botulinum toxin A treamtents are performed by one of the supervising doctors on premises. Dr. Peter Bray is a cosmetic surgeon and Dr. Pugen is an anti-aging specialist. Both take pride in helping men and women achieve the best results that are possible.
Before beginning Undereye wrinkle and dark circle treatments at Bellair Laser Clinic, we encourage all clients to visit us for a complimentary consultation. At this time we will analyze the skin around the eyes and provide recommendations for which treatments are best for you based on your skin's needs and your personal goals for your skin.

Some clients like to start as young as 25 for preventative measures however most clients are in their 30's and older. Our collagen starts to break down after the age of 35. Most people notice that their lines at this age start to become more defined and may appear even when they are not showing expression. Botulinum toxin A prevents these lines from causing permanent damage in the skin. If you are noticing forhead lines, frown lines and crows feet, it's time to come in to see if Botulinum toxin A is right for you.
Botulinum toxin A is a great eye treatment for wrinkles especially since results are apparent in 3 to 10 days post treatment. Thermage eye treatment also yields visible results in eye lid skin laxity which is apparent 1 month up to 6 months post treatment as the collagen builds and tightens.
