Holiday Glow-Up: 3 Ways to Refresh Tired Eyes Before the Festivities

 It’s supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year. At least, that’s what one very popular song would have you believe. For many people, however, the holiday season feels less magical and more manic. 

If that rings true for you, you might have noticed that you’re looking tired. That’s doubly annoying if you’ve got a full social plate. Between company holiday parties, cookie swaps with friends, and various family traditions, this is a time of year when you might be getting a lot of face time with the people in your life. It’s not a great one to feel like you look less than your best, then. 

Hilla Steinberg, MD, is here to help. With both medical and aesthetic expertise, she can intervene to refresh tired eyes. Visit our office on the Upper West Side of Manhattan in New York City and discuss your cosmetic goals with Dr. Steinberg. She can tailor a plan to help you look rejuvenated this holiday season.

While she personalizes care for each patient, she often addresses tired-looking eyes with these targeted treatments.

For red eyes: Dry eye care

This dry, cold time of year can make your eyes look redder. If you’re bothered because you think that redness makes you look tired, see Dr. Steinberg.

In many cases, excess redness stems from dry eyes. That means your eyes either aren’t making enough tears or your tears aren’t functioning like they should. 

At our office, Dr. Steinberg can help you find treatment to alleviate that redness. She might recommend medicated eye drops or punctal plugs, tiny devices that help keep more of your tears in your eyes. 

For under-eye bags: Fillers

You might think of fillers for your cheeks or lips, but these cosmetic injectables can also help with under-eye hollows. 

Dr. Steinberg offers dermal fillers that use hyaluronic acid to plump the under-eye area. Your body naturally makes hyaluronic acid, so this helps you get natural-looking results. You should look like you got a great night’s rest, not like you’re filled or plastic. 

For crow’s feet: Botox®

Don’t let lines around your eyes make you look more tired or older than you feel. With Botox®, Dr. Steinberg has a quick and convenient way to smooth those lines, helping you look refreshed this holiday season. 

Botox also works for the vertical lines that can appear between your eyebrows (frown lines). If you feel like you’ve been looking stern on top of tired, ask her about using Botox there, too. 

These are just a few of the ways Dr. Steinberg can help you look and feel your best this holiday season. To discuss your options for a refresh with her, please call our office or book an appointment online today.
