Look Years Younger! Discover how to get natural, more beautiful looking eyes.
At last! You can erase sagging eyelids, puffy bags and sculpt away those unsightly bulges!
New breakthrough laser procedure has made it possible to get incredible results.
How great would it feel to look in the mirror and see yourself looking years younger?
Well it’s all possible. In fact, Dr. Ronald W. Kristan has helped many people just like
you transform their unsightly bulges, bags and sagging eyelids into more vibrant,
youthful and brighter-looking eyes. Many of them didn’t think anything would help.
This special report will provide you with a great deal of information and education
about all the facts you need before you do anything.
At last you can vanish away bags, bulges and dropping eyelids !
What’s the first thing people notice when they look at you? Most people would say "the eyes".
Yes, your eyes can reveal a lot abut you. And if your eyes make you look tired and older
than you really are… then finally there’s new help.
At last, there is a way to vanish those sagging eyelids, wipe away those puffy bags and erase the years!
See if you can relate to this scene:
You arrive at work feeling refreshed and energetic.
You had a great nights sleep and woke up ready to tackle your day. As you stop by accounting,
your co-worker Scott asks if you’re OK, remarking that you look tired.
You head into the restroom and look in the mirror-wow, your eyes are really swollen.
It doesn’t seem to matter how you feel, you do look tired!
You are getting frustrated of feeling wide awake, but looking like you haven’t slept in days.
And it’s not just Scott who’s noticed. A number of people have mentioned something,
that you have tried to brush off, but now you can’t ignore it anymore…
In fact, you can’t remember the last time you looked in the mirror and didn’t see the puffy bags
and dropping lids. What ever happened to your youthful and vibrant looking eyes?
You’ve tried all the home remedies like tea bags, ice packs, oatmeal and even cucumber slices.
And those eye creams and goops aren’t helping either.
There’s got to be a better way…
Does that sound painfully familiar?
Every day men and women, just like you, are struggling to find out how to turn back the clock starting wit their eyes.
What makes eyes look tired, dull and old ?
As we age, the elastic tissue around t the eyes (both upper and lower eyelids)
begins to lose its springy, rubberband-like quality. This allows pockets of fat to form,
giving the appearance of puffy eyes.
What’s more, the skin around the eyes stretches out and muscles weaken, causing fat
to accumulate and giving eyes their droopy and saggy appearance.
Let’s talk about what happens in both the upper and lower eyes:
Upper eyelids
The skin on the upper eyelids can hang down over the eyes. This looks like folds of an
apron over the eyes or dropping eyelids.
For some people this may even impair and interfere with vision when looking up and around you.
Okay, now what bout the lower eyelids?
Lower eyelids
The puffy bags or baggy eyes you see underneath your lower eyelids are extremely common as we
age. These bags are due to the excess fat around the eyes that has been pushed forward and
accumulated beneath the eyes.
This can produce the effect of looking tired and sad, even when you feel wide-awake and fine. Sometimes
the lower eyelids can become so full that they interfere with reading.
But now, using a cosmetic procedure, known as laser blepharoplasty (or eyelid surgery) you can
sculpt away excess skin and loose muscles. Plus erase away puffy bags on both the upper and lower
eyelids… leaving you looking years younger.
Here’s how it works :
Blepharoplasty removes excess fat and skin from the eyelids. For upper eyelids a
crescent moon-shaped fold of skin is removed and pockets of fat are cut out, this incision is made
along the lid crease so it hides the minor scar.
Then to remove the puffy bags common in lower lids, you don’t even have to have an incision in
the skin. Surgery is done inside the eyelid leaving no scar, whatsoever!
Breakthrough laser technology
Using a CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) laser as a scalpel we can perform the eyelid surgery
in more precise and bloodless way. The laser delivers high-energy, precisely focused
light to cut away delicate eyelid tissue.
As the laser cuts, it also seals off blood vessels so it reduces bleeding and trauma in the area.
No other tool has made eyelid surgery so precise and accurate. But what’s more, the
laser also seals off nerve endings around the incision site so this reduces pain and discomfort
following surgery.
That’s really all there is to it.
Okay, by now you probably have a few questions.
Here are some of my patients most frequently asked questions:
Q. Who Are The Best Candidates For Laser Blepharoplasty
?
A. Usually if you have any type of unsightly bulges, bags, or drooping lids you will see
significant results after eyelid surgery.
The best candidates for eyelid surgery are men and women who are physically healthy and with realistic
expectations. And there is really no age limit for this procedure.
Q. Should You Have Both Upper and Lower Eyelids Done
Together ?
A. You can have either the upper or lower eyelids done together or separate. If your problem areas are
more prominent in one region then you will only need one area done.
However, most patients find they get more dramatic results and a more symmetrical appearance if both
areas are done at the same time.
Q. Does It Hurt ?
A. The most pain you’ll experience during your surgery will be the stinging from the anesthetic
injected before surgery. Good thing this only lasts for a matter of seconds.
Most patients do not remember this as a sedative is given during the injection. After this anesthetic
you will experience almost not more pain during the procedure.
Following the surgery, your post-operative pain is very slight; most patients can use
Tylenol to ease any of the discomfort.
Q. How Long Will Surgery Take ?
A. The length of time needed depends on whether you are having both upper and lower eyelids
done. Usually your procedure will only take about an hour to 90 minutes.
Q. What Can I Expect After The Surgery ?
A. Since the laser seals off blood vessels and nerve endings you’ll experience much less post-operative
discomfort. You can expect your eyelids to be puffy and swollen for several days following surgery.
Some patients also experience temporary blurring of their vision due to the ointments applied after surgery.
After 5-7 days the fine stitches will be removed. You may have some mild to moderate bruising following
your surgery. At the time you get your stitches removed there typically will be little, if any, black
and blue marks.
You can simply wear dark glasses if you need to go out in public for the first few days following
surgery. Your normal activities can usually be resumed in just 3 to 7 days.
Q. Can Eyelid Surgery Get Rid Of My Wrinkles and Crow’s
Feet ?
A. No. Blepharoplasty cannot get rid of wrinkles or crow’s feet. Other procedures such as laser
resurfacing and BOTOX injections can be used to solve these concerns.
Many patients find using these procedures in combination with blepharoplasty produce even greater
facial rejuvenation. Call my office for more information on these procedures or I’ll be happy to
discuss these options personally with you during your consultation.
However, after eyelid surgery you can expect significant results that make your eyes look younger, brighter
and more wide-awake.
Just take a look at the amazing before and after shots and you’ll see exactly what I mean.
Q. What Complications and Risks are Possible ?
A. Like any surgical procedure, certain risks are possible, such as bleeding, infection and scarring. Fortunately
these are rare.
Some medical conditions can make blepharoplasty more risky, these include thyroid problems, tear duct problems,
high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes. Also a detached retina or glaucoma are reasons for
caution. If you feel you have any of these conditions there may be better options for your situation.
Q. Are There Any Scars ?
A. As I already mentioned, scarring is very minimal in the upper eyelid area because the incision is made in
the natural creases and folds of the eyelids.
Typically after a few months the fine scar becomes an almost invisible white line. And there is absolutely
no visible scar in the lower eyelid due to the incision being made in the inner surface of the lower lid.
Q. How Much Does It Cost ?
A. The cost varies depending on if you decide to have both the upper and the lower eyelids done or just one
area. Many patients are surprised at just how affordable laser blepharoplasty really is.
Most patients consider the cost an investment in themselves that pays dividends forever.
Q. How Do You Choose A Qualified Doctor Or Surgeon
?
A. When choosing a doctor or surgeon look for someone who has completed additional, specialized training in
laser blepharoplasty. The more successful procedures they have done, the better.
Ask to see plenty of before and after pictures.
Then choose a doctor who you have a comfortable chemistry with. Someone who listens to your concerns and
is easy to talk with, and the only way to find this out is by scheduling a consultation.
Okay, so does all of this make sense to you?
I hope so.
And I hope you’ve found this report educational and informative. You wouldn’t find this kind of
straightforward information anywhere else.
Here’s what to do now…
Before you put down this report, give my assistant, Bonnie, (792-796-7140 ext. 310)
a call today and tell her you read the special report and you would like to schedule a consultation. She’ll
take care of everything from there.
I’ve helped a lot of people, just like you, discover more beautiful, alive-looking and brighter eyes.
And I hope I can do the same for you. But you won’t know unless you come in.
So why not spend some time finding out if this is right for you. I look forward to seeing you soon.
Sincerely,
Ronald W. Kristan, M.D.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
A fairly new method of improving skin texture and appearance is laser resurfacing, also known as a "laser peel". Laser skin resurfacing often times provides the doctor with more control over the lasering of the skin than other resurfacing treatments.
Laser skin resurfacing works by using a laser to remove damaged skin layer by layer. Though laser skin resurfacing can be used to treat facial scars and uneven pigmentation, it is often used to treat fine lines otherwise known as "crow’s feet". Laser resurfacing may be performed on the whole face or in specific regions.
Laser Eyelid Surgery
Laser eyelid surgery, also known as Laser Blepharoplasty, corrects the skin around the eyes by removing under eye bags and excess skin in the upper eyelids. Skin often loses its elasticity as we age, causing under eye bags and extra folds to appear in the upper eyelids. Laser eyelid surgery can help minimize or completely eliminate puffiness and extra skin around the eyes, making you look refreshed and years younger.
Restylane®
is Restylane® a revolutionary solution to wrinkles and thin lips. It gently smoothes away fine
lines around the lips and mouth and on the forehead, leaving no scars at the injection sites.
It is completely biodegradable and contains no animal proteins, so it is natural and considered
extremely safe.
Recently FDA approved, this new filler is available in three tissue varieties—Restylane®, Restylane®
Fine Lines, and Restylane® Perlane. Restylane® is primarily used for lip enhancement (especially to
prevent lipstick "bleeding") and wrinkle correction, while Restylane® Fine Lines is most effective in
filling fine, superficial lines in the chin and cheeks. Restylane® Perlane is used for shaping facial
contours and for lip augmentation.
Performed in 30-minute sessions, Restylane® treatments are long lasting and can be repeated as necessary,
typically every six to 12 months.

BOTOX® CosmeticBOTOX® for Frown Lines and Crow's Feet
Wrinkles
are caused by contractions of the delicate underlying
facial muscles every time you smile, laugh or frown.
With this procedure you don't have to show your wrinkles
anymore!
Thanks to
the use of BOTOX® line can be dramatically softened.
BOTOX® improves the appearance of frown lines, crowfeet,
laugh lines and other wrinkles.
How does BOTOX® work?
BOTOX® blocks
the impulses from the nerve to the tiny facial
muscles. It relaxes the muscles so they do not contract.
After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth and
unwrinkled while the untreated muscle contract in a
normal fashion.
BOTOX® has
been safely used for over ten years for therapeutic
and neurological disorders. Dr. Ronald Kristan has been
using BOTOX® since 1985 for therapeutic reasons.
BOTOX® is
a safe procedure and a simple procedure. Using
a tiny needle, a very small amount of BOTOX® is injected
in the areas of concern. It is very precisely injected
into several locations on the face. Because, a very
small needle is used a very small amount of BOTOX® is
used, and the pain is minimal. Most patients compare
it to a bug bite or a tiny pinch. The beauty of BOTOX®,
you can resume normal activities immediately after your
procedure. You can drive yourself home or back to the
office.
Temporary
bruising that can be covered with makeup is the
most common side effect. In some cases, the toxin can
migrate and cause a temporary weakness of nearby muscles.
Dr. Kristan will discuss this and any other concerns
you may have in length before your treatment. Because
the effect of BOTOX® is completely reversible, and side
effects are temporary, lasting only a few weeks.
BOTOX® cannot
improve wrinkles due to aging and sun-damaged
skin since they are unrelated to facial muscle contractions.
BOTOX® will not improve sagging skin or replace the need
for any type of skin resurfacing or eyelid rejuvenation.
Since BOTOX® treatments are a temporary solution, the
effects of the injections may last from three to six
months. You will need to have treatments about two to
three times a year.
