Aging isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it’s just a subtle shift: the upper eyelids start to feel heavier, your eyes look a little less open in photos, or concealer doesn’t sit quite right anymore. Nothing drastic, just enough to make you wonder if it’s time to do something about it.
For those who don’t want surgery, but also don’t want to ignore what they see in the mirror, non-surgical eyelid lifts are a great kind of in-between. At Trubella MedSpa and Aesthetics in Dedham, MA, the team offers two advanced treatments, Sofwave and Sylfirm X, that help firm and refresh the eye area without the downtime or intensity of an operation.
Led by Harvard-trained plastic surgeon Dr. Joseph Russo and medical aesthetician Linda Grosser, Trubella’s approach is personal, not prescriptive. They take the time to understand what’s really bothering you and tailor treatments that work with, not against, your natural features.
You won’t find generic plans or cookie-cutter treatments here. Trubella is known for thoughtful, individualized care and results that feel subtle, fresh, and balanced. The team uses FDA-cleared technologies that stimulate your body’s own collagen production, so results develop gradually and naturally over time. This treatment can be a good option for people exploring alternatives to upper eyelid blepharoplasty or other facial rejuvenation procedures.
A non-surgical eyelid lift uses energy-based devices to tighten and smooth the skin around the eyes. Instead of removing skin or making incisions, the treatment encourages your body to rebuild collagen, leading to a lifted, firmer look. It’s a smart choice for early signs of aging or when surgery, like upper blepharoplasty or lower eyelid surgery, feels like too much, too soon.
This approach to eyelid rejuvenation can reduce sagging eyelids and puffiness while preserving the delicate structure of the eye socket. It offers a gentle, non-invasive treatment path for many patients.
Sofwave uses focused ultrasound to heat the deeper layers of skin, triggering collagen remodeling where it matters most. It’s especially helpful for lifting the brow and tightening the upper eyelids, making your eyes look more open and rested. Sofwave may also help delay the need for more invasive procedures like a brow lift or upper eyelid surgery.
Sylfirm X uses radiofrequency microneedling to treat both skin laxity and pigmentation. It’s gentle enough for the delicate under-eye area and works well on puffiness, fine lines, and uneven texture. Because it’s so precise, it can deliver strong results without damaging the surface of the skin. Sylfirm may support a more youthful appearance by smoothing out signs of aging around the eyes.
An eyelid lift can help your face look more refreshed without making you look “done.” You’ll notice a subtle lift, smoother skin, and eyes that appear more awake.
A non-surgical eyelid lift can help with:
If you’re noticing mild to moderate sagging, puffiness, or fine lines around the eyes, and you want results without surgery, you’re probably a good candidate. Many patients choose this non-surgical eye lift before considering more involved cosmetic procedures like lower blepharoplasty or upper eyelid blepharoplasty.
We’ll also talk through any relevant medical conditions, skin sensitivities, and aesthetic goals to ensure this treatment is safe and effective for you.
These treatments are commonly used to address visible signs of aging around the eyes that affect both how you look and, in some cases, how you feel. Many patients notice issues like hooded or droopy eyelids, puffiness or bags under the eyes, uneven skin tone or texture in the eye area, fine lines or crow’s feet, and sagging in the upper eyelids or brow. In some cases, excess skin can even start to impact peripheral vision or contribute to a tired look. Non-surgical eyelid lifts can also complement other facial rejuvenation procedures like laser treatments, dermal fillers, or a brow lift.
Eyelid Lift Consultation and Preparation
Your appointment will start with a skin analysis and a conversation. We want to understand what’s bothering you and what kind of results you’re hoping for. If we think you’d benefit more from a surgical plan, such as upper eyelid surgery or lower eyelid lift, we’ll tell you that honestly. Otherwise, we’ll create a personalized care plan using Sofwave, Sylfirm X, or both.
We’ll also go over your health history, current skincare, and answer any questions about the healing process, recovery time, and expected outcomes.
We’ll start by applying a numbing cream (local anesthetic) to make things more comfortable. The treatment takes about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the area we’re targeting. Most patients feel warmth or a mild tingling sensation. There are no incisions or stitches, and you can typically return to normal activities right after your visit.
Redness, swelling, or slight sensitivity are normal and usually fade within the first week. You might use cold compresses if needed, and we’ll guide you on gentle skincare to support the healing process. Compared to eyelid surgery, this recovery period is minimal.
We’ll also talk about what to avoid during healing, like sun exposure, harsh products, or vigorous exercise for a couple of days. Most patients resume their usual routines within 24–48 hours.
Some patients notice changes within a few weeks. Others see results build over two to three months as the collagen production kicks in. You’ll likely see a more youthful appearance around your eyes, with smoother skin and less puffiness. Depending on your skin and aesthetic goals, we might recommend maintenance sessions every 6 to 12 months to keep things looking fresh.
The cost of a non-surgical eyelid lift at Trubella will vary depending on your treatment plan and goals. Pricing can vary depending on which technology we use, how many sessions are needed, and if you’re combining it with other procedures. This isn’t one-size-fits-all care. During your consultation, we’ll walk through what’s included and provide a breakdown of your costs, so you can make an informed decision.
At Trubella, nothing feels rushed. Every visit is a conversation. Dr. Russo and Linda Grosser lead a team that’s as focused on safety and science as they are on helping you feel comfortable in your skin. If you’ve been searching for thoughtful, personalized aesthetic care in Dedham or the surrounding communities, you’ll feel at home here.
