Undereye Treatments
If you are concerned with undereye issues including hollows, dehyrdation, dark circles or undereye bags, there is perfect solution to suit everyone.
Issues with the undereye area is an extremely common problem, but fortunately there are lots of solutions available to help.
The skin under the eyes is one of thinnest areas of skin on the body so it’s easy to understand why eyes are so vulnerable to the signs of stress, tiredness, and ageing.
The treatment of choice will depend on individual concerns, so as with all cosmetic treatments, the plan will be bespoke to each person.
Options available include:
Tear trough treatment
This may be a good solution where there is volume loss in a tiny fat pad under the eyes. This appears as a deep grove in the corner of the eyes and gives a hollow or sunken look. This may be as a result of the ageing process, or a natural/genetic cause. This can be corrected significantly by gently placing a specifically designed dermal filler in the area requiring correction to improve the groves and hollows.
Dark circles
Despite what is commonly though about dark circles, it is often more than lack of sleep that causes them (although this will certainly help).
As we know, the skin around the eyes is very thin and can be almost transparent . This can be very unforgiving as every little capillary or blood vessel under the surface will show through. This can look blue, black, or even slightly yellow in colour.
Sun exposure is also a major contributor to undereye pigmentation, and for this reason, it is highly advisable to wear a broad spectrum sun screen all year round.
Dark circles can also be genetic, or more pronounced within some ethnic groups.
An extremely effective and sought after treatment this year has been with the use of Polynucleotides. This treatment differs from traditional hyaluronic acid skin booster due to the use of its DNA technology and harnessing the benefits of regenerative medicine . Once injected under the skin, it stimulates the body’s natural ability to produce fibroblasts and collagen . These are the building blocks of healthy skin therefore, over time, skin quality, thickness and elasticity is improved, thus diminishing the appearance of dark circles and pigmentation.
Undereye bags
As with dark circles, undereye bags can be genetic, but more often appear with age. They are caused when the fat pad under the eyes protrude (herniates) and becomes visible.
The use of polynucleotides again is recommended to help diminish their appearance although in extreme.
cases, a surgical correction (Blethoplasty ) may be advisable as a solution.
