Microneedling 101
Desert Eyesthetics is proud to offer Microneedling with the SkinStylus MicroSystem, a next-generation medical aesthetic procedure that promotes natural skin revitalization and renewal. The gentle alternative to laser skin resurfacing delivers smoother and younger-looking skin, while virtually eliminating any pain, discomfort, or downtime! The anti-aging procedure will restore your skin’s youthful glow, leaving it looking and feeling better than ever!
What Is the SkinStylus MicroSystem and How Does It Work?
The SkinStylus MicroSystem works by creating numerous micro-channels in the skin using disposable Biolock needle cartridges. That triggers the body’s natural healing process, stimulating collagen production and the remodeling of the treatment area. The mechanical creation of micro-channels does not require the use of heat, thermal energy, or chemicals, virtually eliminating post-treatment sensitivity and downtime, while achieving astounding results. Moreover, the micro-channels allow for better penetration of skincare products, providing the necessary nutrients to rapidly improve your skin’s appearance.
What Conditions Can Microneedling with the SkinStylus MicroSystem Improve?
Microneedling is safe for use on all parts of the body, including the face, neck, décolleté, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back. The anti-aging, skin resurfacing procedure effectively improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, sun damage, melasma, pigmentation issues, scars from surgery or trauma, and stretch marks, while improving the skin’s tone and texture. You’ll love your smooth, clear, and rejuvenated appearance!
What Sets Microneedling with the SkinStylus MicroSystem Apart?
Microneedling is an effective anti-aging and skin resurfacing option that draws on the body’s natural healing response, delivering dramatic results with minimal pain or discomfort. The revolutionary SkinStylus MicroSystem can be used safely on all skin types. You will enjoy a youthful glow that you can’t get from home treatments or other cosmetic products.
The SkinStylus MicroSystem is the only device that offers a seven-step safety system that prevents cross-contamination between patients and incorporates the patent-pending Biolock cartridge. Your safety is always our top priority!
What Can You Expect During and After the Procedure?
After numbing your skin with a topical anesthetic cream for your comfort, we will apply the automated MicroPen over the treatment area creating micro “injuries” in the skin to trigger your body’s healing response and promote collagen production. Next, we will apply a booster serum to your skin, which can be effectively absorbed thanks to the micro-channels created.
Most patients resume their daily activities right after treatment. You may notice some redness and swelling right after the procedure. However, these side effects should soon subside, leaving you with incredible skin rejuvenating results.
What Are the Expected Results?
Results may vary from person to person. However, most patients notice an immediate “glow” to their skin right after treatment. You should begin to see visibly rejuvenated skin after your second treatment session and achieve maximal benefit after 4-6 sessions. We typically recommend 1-2 maintenance treatments per year to continue to enjoy optimal results.

What You Need to Know About Droopy Eyelids
Are you in search of a solution to improve the appearance of droopy eyelids? If so, you’ve come to the right place. Your trusted team at Desert Eyesthetics is proud to offer eyelid lifts, also known as blepharoplasty. Dr. Garcia, our board-certified and highly experienced Oculofacial Plastic Surgeon, utilizes cutting-edge surgical techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to deliver dramatic results. You’ll love your new youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
All About Droopy Eyelids
Time and gravity have an effect on us all when it comes to the skin and muscles, including those of the eyelids. One cause of droopy eyelids is dermatochalasis, which develops when the skin and muscle stretch causing too large of a fold which can then “flop over” the lashes and upper lid edge. This creates a shadow on your vision and you must then rely on lifting your brows to raise the skin fold up off of your lashes. Another cause of droopy lids is blepharoptosis, or ptosis. Ptosis usually develops when the levator muscles, the muscles that lift the eyelids, stretch and weaken over time. The weaker the levator muscles, the harder it is to keep the eyes open. While age is usually the culprit with dermatochalasis and ptosis, medical conditions such as eye injuries, surgery or nerve damage can leave the eyelids drooping and sagging. Genetics also play a big role in how your eyelids age. Whatever the cause, droopy eyelids not only impact one’s appearance but can also limit or interfere with vision.
Blepharoplasty/Ptosis Repair: The Droopy Eyelids Solution
An eyelid lift involves removing excess skin and fat pads above the eyelid creases. The procedure results in your eyes looking younger and more vibrant while eliminating vision problems.
So, what happens during the procedure? Upper eyelid surgery is typically an outpatient surgery performed under local anesthesia for your comfort. Dr. Garcia will make a small incision hidden within the natural fold of the eyelid. She will extend the incision as far outward as possible to address any extraneous skin folds located on the outside of the upper eyelid. Next, she will remove any excess skin, a small strip of muscle, and small pockets of fat. If you are also having a ptosis repair, your eyelid lifting muscles are tightened at this point. Dr. Garcia will conclude the procedure by contouring the upper eyelid and reshaping it for a more youthful and rested appearance.
What Should You Expect During Recovery?
Following your eyelid lift, you will need to cover your eyes intermittently with cold gauze for a few days, and you’ll need to sleep in an elevated position. You may have temporary blurry eyesight, which is no cause for alarm. Pain medication, other than Tylenol, is normally not needed following eyelid surgery.
Patients often experience bruising or swelling, which typically subsides within seven to ten days after the eyelid lift. You should be able to resume your normal daily activities in about a week. The incision should begin to heal within one to two weeks, with complete healing taking place over a few months. Once the healing is complete, you’ll enjoy dramatic, long-lasting results!
Are You a Candidate for Blepharoplasty?
Candidates for blepharoplasty are generally patients that are 30 years old or older, non-smokers, in good health, and those with no other eye conditions. Talk to Dr. Garcia if you have eye problems such as glaucoma, dry eye, or a detached retina, or if you have thyroid disorders, diabetes, or cardiovascular disease to determine if an eyelid lift is right for you.
