Droopy eye syndrome. It’s something every woman wants to avoid, and they do this by flattening overgrown fringes over their eyes, slapping on the concealer and generally walking around with their heads faced down in order to hide the fact that they have droopy eyelids… You know what I’m talking about, don’t you?

Well if that’s a yes, then you can wave goodbye to your embarrassing, droopy eyelids and walk, staring at the oh so interesting pavement, down to Riverbanks Clinic in Bedfordshire, whom in your eyes is now known as god, as they have the ability to transform your face with the ‘Madonna Lift.’

The Madonna Lift is a reasonably new treatment which enables you to banish your droopy eyelids without the need for surgery or needles. Yes, there’s the sound of a thousand sighs right there! I did in fact say, no needles OR surgery! The treatment uses SmartXide Dot Fractional C02 Laser in order to stimulate the collagen growth around your eyes, which in turn reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lifts up the eyebrows, offering you a more ‘opened’ eye effect, taking you back to your beloved teenage beauty!

The treatment only lasts a few minutes and results in barely any downtime, so you can be showing off your new, fresher, younger look within days! You may need about 3 sessions in order to see a more noticeable change and the treatment costs only £500 per session and can last between 2-3 years when combined with effective skincare!

Of course, your eyes are the first thing that anyone will notice about you and leave a lasting impression, as they are indeed the passage to your very soul! You can have as many Botox injections as humanely possible but you’ll never quite get the outstanding results that the Madonna Lift can offer, as it tackles the problem directly, leaving you with supple, ‘droop- free’ eyelids! All you need to do now is get to Riverbanks and then get strutting your stuff and fluttering your eyelashes to your hearts content!

Yesterday we treated a record number of patients for the Madonna Eyelift, and today we’re in the news again – it”s been a great week

The Herts Advertiser features our Madonna Eyelift and has some great quotes from our very own Dr Ravi Jain – pop on over to read it yourself!

Are you concerned aboutdark rings under the eyes, wrinkled and loose skin of the upper and lower eyelids?  Are your eyebrows beginning to droop and make you look sad all the time?

Well, the new Fractional Eyelift has arrived!

Using the latest fractional laser resurfacing technology Dr Ravi Jain can offer you a laser procedure, which is safe and effective with minimal downtime.  It takes away dark rings and wrinkles, tightens upper and lower eyelid skin and helps to elevate drooping eyebrows.  It has a good number of the benefits of a surgical eyelift without the risks and downtime.  The only problem it doesn’t address is bulging fat pads.  There is no risk of injury to the eyes.  Only a numbing cream is applied to the eyelids for anesthesia and three to five sessions are recommended at 2-3 week intervals.

With fractional laser resurfacing, the laser beam is broken into microscopic columns of laser light.  When the beams strike, they leave normal surrounding skin areas intact so the outcome is very quick healing.  These columns of laser light take away (or ablate) old, damaged collagen and elastic fibers so that new fresh tissue can grow into these channels.  As this occurs, wrinkles and pigmentation are removed, skin tightens and the eyelids are rejuvenated.   A recent study in over 300 patients showed consistent and very impressive results.

We’re often asked questions about this procedure, so here are our Madonna Eyelift Frequently Asked Questions:

Madonna Eyelift - Before and After - By Dr Bruce Katz, USA

What is the Madonna Lift?

The Madonna Lift is a new type of laser eyelift.  It utilizes an innovative fractional CO₂ laser, which creates tiny microscopic channels in the tissue so that new collagen can grow in to rejuvenate the skin.

What does the Madonna Lift do?

It dramatically reduces the appearance of dark rings and wrinkles while tightening eyelid skin and elevating drooping eyebrows.

How does the Madonna Lift work?

It works by utilizing a new fractional CO₂ laser technology.  Laser beam-like columns are created in the skin while leaving surrounding tissue intact.  These beams eradicate damaged collagen and elastic fibers so that fresh skin with renewed elasticity can grow back in its place.  Because only a “fraction” of the skin is affected, healing is very quick and virtually painless.  Therefore, it mimics the results previously realized only through eyelid surgery, without the risks and downtime!

How do I know if I’m a candidate?

If you have wrinkles around the eyes, loose eyelid skin, crow’s feet, dark circles or drooping eyebrows, you are a candidate.

Do you have to be a certain age?

Age is not an issue.  It depends on the changes around the eyes.

Will the laser work on darker skin?

In most cases, it works very well on darker skin.

Do I have to stay out of the sun prior to laser treatment?

No.  But one should wear a sunscreen after the Madonna Lift, as is the case after any laser treatment.

How many sessions are needed?

The number of sessions depends on the individual changes present.  On average, most people need between 3-5 sessions.

How long in between each treatment?

We usually space sessions at 2-3 week intervals

How many days of downtime?

Most people are a little red and puffy for a day or two.  However, one can apply make-up right after the treatment to hide redness.

How long will the results last?

As new collagen is produced, we expect the results to last for at least several years.  But as the technology is so new, it is difficult to be sure at this point.

Are there any other treatments and/or injectables I should be using to prolong my results (such as Botox)?

Botox can be injected after the Madonna Lift to help prolong the results.
