As an antioxidant, Alpha lipoic acid attacks what are called “free radicals” or left over waste from the body when glucose is transformed into energy. The waste left over from the transformation can damage cells through harmful chemical reactions. This damage can further strain the body when trying to fend off infections.

In addition to fighting off waste, Alpha lipoic acid is also an effective remedy for many skin conditions including removing wrinkles, reducing large pores, and even minimizing the appearance scars.

Side effects

Alpha lipoic acid side effects vary from person to person. Current side effects known, for otherwise healthy adults, can include skin rash, cramping muscles, headache, stomach ache, tingling sensation (pins and needles), nausea, lowering of blood sugar, and lowering of thiamine.

The last two side effects are especially important for those with diabetes or those who drink alcohol regularly. Dr. Perricone recommends that you talk with your primary care physician before starting any supplement regimen.

Wrinkles under the eyes automatically age a person, causing them to look and even feel older. Knowing what causes wrinkles, tips to preventing wrinkles, and the products available to help reduce them can help you stay looking young and smooth.

What Causes Under Eye Wrinkles: Sun, Smoke, and Sleeping

Wrinkles are the result of repetitive movements engaged in on a daily basis. Smiling, laughing, squinting, furrowing brows, and frowning are all expressions that attribute to crinkles in old age. However, facial expressions are not the only contributor to wrinkles; environmental factors like the sun or smoke are also major factors.

The skin under eyes is exceptionally sensitive and therefore more likely can area to develop wrinkles. While genetics and exhibiting facial features cannot be easily changed to avoid the appearance of these wrinkles, environmental factors can be.

Sun

When the sun is out nice and bright, it is instinctual to squint. The brightness of the sun hurts your eyes; therefore, squinting seems like the natural reaction. However, all of the squinting eventually leads to permanent wrinkles.

Not only does the sun cause squinting which leads to wrinkles, the sun also causes your skin to age.

Plus, the skin around eyes is quite thin, the aging can happen sooner than other areas of your body.

Smoke

Smoke contains free radicals that damage skin. Therefore, smokers develop more wrinkles under their eyes.

Smoke also causes people to squint or rub their eyes. Since the skin around eyes is so thin, when it is rubbed it causes the skin to wrinkle back and forth. Constant rubbing leads to wrinkles faster.

Sleep

Yes, sleep is necessary, but sleeping on your stomach can actually increase wrinkles under your eyes. By sleeping on your stomach, the side of your face rests on a pillow squished for hours at a time. This constant squishing of the face each and every night causes creasing, which eventually leads to wrinkles.

The skin under the eye is extremely delicate, thus a leading area for wrinkles. While some of the natural causes for wrinkles (i.e. facial expressions) are hard to control and prevent, many other causes of wrinkles are easily preventable and able to be reduced.

How to Reduce Under Eye Wrinkles: 4 Simple Suggestions

The skin under the eyes is one of the first places wrinkles develop, but reducing and preventing under eye wrinkles can be simple.

To help prevent and reduce the appearance of under eye wrinkles remember these four simple suggestions:

1. Sleep and Drink
   Sleeping at least 8 hours every night and drinking plenty of water helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
2. Sunscreen and Sunglasses
   Use an eye cream or even just a regular facial cream with an SPF in it. Sun is one of the leading causes of wrinkles. Also, wear sunglasses.
3. Sleep with a Humidifier, but not on your Stomach
   Purchase a humidifier for your bedroom and remember to sleep on your side or back to prevent creasing on your face from your pillow.
4. Don’t Rub or Remove Roughly
   Rubbing your eyes is sometimes a habit, especially when tired, but avoid this instinct. Rubbing the delicate skin under your eyes causes them to wrinkle. Similarly, when removing eye makeup, do not remove it too roughly.

Many skin care products can also help reduce the appearance of wrinkles under the eyes. One of the best products is Perricone’s High Potency Eye Lift. This product not only helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles, but it also helps to lift, firm, and brighten the skin as well. Another Perricone product proven to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is Perricone Cold Plasma.

Independent clinical studies showed that 86% reported an improvement in the appearance of lines and wrinkles after utilizing this product.

Whether it is using High Potency Eye Lift or Perricone Cold Plasma, remembering to wear your sunglasses, under eye wrinkles can be easily reduced to help you stay forever looking young.

Obviously, face lifts are popular, but are they the best option? This article will discuss the pros and cons of surgical face lifts and offer Dr. Perricone’s philosophy on cosmetic surgery.

This article will discuss:

• Benefits of the face lift
• Drawbacks of the face lift
• Dr. Perricone’s perspective

Benefits of the face lift

Proponents of the face lift (formally called a rhytidectomy) believe there are several upsides to the procedure:

• The procedure itself is quick, with most face lifts taking 2-4 hours in the operating room.
• It is usually an outpatient procedure.
• A good face lift can last up to 10 years.
• It can make you look instantly younger, as if the muscles have regained their tone overnight.
• A well-done face lift can reverse much of the skin sagging and loss of firmness that occurs over a lifetime.

Drawbacks of the face lift

Even if some women end up satisfied with their face lift, the drawbacks are considerable. Ranging from inconvenience to serious health risks, it’s best to consider all of these factors before deciding on such a potentially dangerous and unpleasant procedure.

Cost: Face lifts are expensive: the average cost is $6000. This doesn’t even include fees for anesthesia, prescriptions (for painkillers and any other medications you might need), preparatory tests, and facility fees. Prices also vary based on the surgeon’s experience and your location. If the price seems too good to be true, you may be putting yourself at the hands of an inexperienced surgeon.

Preparation: Pre-operational instructions include stopping certain medications two weeks prior to surgery. Most of these medications are those that make you more prone to bleeding, but some are important medicines that you may need for good health. If you smoke, you’ll have to quit long before your surgery. While this is and essential healthy step, it can be a major struggle during the stressful period before surgery. This is especially true because some smoking cessation products are on the list of banned pre-surgery medications.

Anesthesia: Most face lift procedures will require some form of anesthesia. Although anesthesia does not cause complications for most healthy patients, there is always the risk of serious side effects. These include toxicity, aspiration, or in some cases changes in blood pressure that lead to heart attacks or death.

Recovery: Even if the surgical procedure is quick, the recovery time is anything but. Seeing results takes even longer, making the whole process inconvenient. During the first 24 hours after a face lift, the face is usually black and blue. You won’t be able to wash your hair for two days afterward, as you will still have drainage tubes attached to your face. It’s recommended that you avoid strenuous activity until swelling is gone, which can take four to six weeks. It generally takes seven weeks before you can resume all aspects of your normal life.

Risks: In addition to these common downsides of the surgery, more serious complications like infection, scarring, unevenness, or pigmentation changes can occur. Additionally, the immediate side effects of a face lift are pronounced; swelling, pain, and bruising can be severe. Bruises are most prominent around the eyes, and swelling is bad enough to keep you at home for days.

There is also a risk of long lasting and sometimes permanent side effects, including:

• Nerve damage that can cause paralysis of muscles
• Obvious scarring
• Asymmetry and skin wrinkling
• Serious infection
• Hematoma, or blood pooling beneath the skin

Even a skilled surgeon cannot guarantee that you will see the results you expect from your face lift. It’s important to understand the potential drawbacks before you make such a serious decision. It’s also important to consider nonsurgical alternatives, such as lifestyle changes and nonsurgical treatments that can drastically improve the appearance of your face without the dangers of a face lift.

Dr. Perricone’s perspective

Many of Dr. Perricone’s patients have either had a cosmetic procedure performed or are seriously considering it when they come into his office. He strongly advices them to try his products and his recommended lifestyle instead. Through a three-tiered approach of diet, nutriceuticals, and topical treatments, many patients see dramatic improvements in the quality of their skin and stop plans to undergo plastic surgery.

Dr. Perricone has formulated numerous supplements and topical treatments to restore the skin’s health and youthfulness. Whether your concern is lines and wrinkles, loss of elasticity, the desire for a lifted appearance, or a combination of the three, there are products to meet your needs.

Dr. Perricone’s High Potency Amine Complex Face Lift harnesses a number of his of his patented sciences, including DMAE and vitamin C ester, to provide the “instant face lift” effect. To achieve the same effect around the eyes, there is a complementary product called the High Potency Eye Lift.

In addition to his skin care products, Dr. Perricone’s Anti-Inflammatory Diet gives specific guidelines to provide skin with the nutrients it needs to become healthier and more beautiful. Among the diet’s key foods are salmon and olive oil. Their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects both contribute to the reduction of wrinkles and sagging skin.

Dr. Perricone is convinced that combining a healthy lifestyle and diet with advanced skin care products can give you results that rival a surgical face lift. The cost doesn’t begin to compare to the cost of a face lift, and it is virtually risk free. Dr. Perricone encourages patients to try his line and see the results: it’s a safe alternative to a potentially risky surgery.

Consumer testing shows that the unique Acyl-Glutathione Eye Lid Serum formulation delivers a youthful, more wide-eyed appearance, dramatic tightness and firmness of droopy eyelids, and a reduction in both redness around and dark circles under the eyes.

What is Glutathione and why does it matter?

Dr. Perricone has described Glutathione as “the master anti-oxidant”. A simple molecule produced naturally in the body, Glutathione contains different sulfur chemical groups that acts like fly paper, attracting and collecting free radicals and toxins like mercury & heavy metals and carrying them out of the body.

Like many other self-healing elements our bodies create, Glutathione production diminishes with poor diet, exposure to environmental pollution, and of course, with aging.

Since the skin around the eyes is one of the first areas of the body to show fatigue, dehydration, toxin exposure and age, Dr. Perricone has developed Acyl-Glutathione Eye Lid Serum to restore Glutathione to these sensitive areas and speed the elimination of toxic molecules that cause visible signs of aging and deliver results like this:

“What a powerhouse cream, have been using about 3 months and I am so pleased with the results. My deep 11 lines between my eyes are diminished and also the nose to mouth lines have greatly improved.”

“The lines have been reduced to almost nothing. I love the way the product goes on and how it dries, plus the positive effect on my skin.”

Started using this product 4 days ago and have noticed visible signs, skin tighter, wrinkles less visible. I’m 55 years of age, came into work yesterday and colleagues were wondering if I had a face lift on the weekend!”

One of the most amazing benefits of Neuropeptide Deep Wrinkle Serum is that it smoothes and plumps lines and wrinkles almost immediately.

Clinical and consumer use tests confirm that Deep Wrinkle Derum delivers visible benefits in as little as 5 minutes after one application.

What are neuropeptides and how do they work?

Neuropeptides are small molecules that send signals from neurons to other cells located across the synapses, or junctions, between the cells. Essentially, they are tiny messengers for the cells in your body.

Neuropeptides are responsible for a number of physical and emotional processes in the body, but when it comes to anti-aging treatments, these messengers serve as an activation point for cellular function in skin.

Dr. Perricone’s unique neuropeptide formulations, including Deep Wrinkle Serum, stimulate cellular function at these activation points and deliver their incredible results by boosting natural production of collagen & elastin in the skin and enhancing the body’s natural circulation, which results in radiant, younger looking skin and ecstatic consumer reviews like this:

“This product has exceeded my expectations–wow!! It’s definitely helped reduce the appearance of my laugh lines…oh and my forehead lines are gone!!”

“This serum is amazing! What I have noticed is the wrinkles are not as noticeable and this product actually works better than the Botox shot!”

“This product is the best thing I have ever tried.”
