Facial Masks

Face masks were originally used over 5,000 years ago by the Egyptians. Today, a variety of facial masks exist, but there are new developments in those aimed towards patients who have had, or will have, elective and reconstructive surgery procedures performed.

Swiss Therapy Mask

This is a lightweight mask with covers the eyes and bridge of the nose. Extensive rhinoplasty surgery (nose surgery) and eyelid procedures can result in both swelling and bruising. The Swiss Therapy gel cooling mask cools the eyelids and tissues around the nose in order to minimize bruising and swelling, and to aid circulation and accelerate healing. Patients are able to wear this device over nasal splints, and it is very light. The mask itself is moist, pliable, thin, and sterile, and will not stick to skin or cause pressure. It conforms to the shape of your eye orbit, and is also used to relieve headaches, fatigue and for general relaxation. It is also reported to alleviate tired and puffy eyes. It is necessary to hydrate the mask to keep it from drying out as water evaporates, but much more convenient than ice packs or a frozen bag of peas.
