Anti-ageing for eyes
The eye area is very complex. Over 20 muscles work together to facilitate vision and expression. The peri-orbital skin is also the thinnest in the entire body and is prone to fine lines and dark circles. Lastly, we develop eye bags as we lose collagen and fat in the upper face. As the ageing process takes its toll, our eyes begin to look” tired”. However, we can turn things around with some scientific help.
1. A little Botox
For anyone concerned about their eye area, I recommend a little Botox- which helps in more than one way. Botox can do the noticeable, relaxing “crow’s feet”. However, the same muscles responsible for these lines also act as drawstrings, pulling the eyebrows downwards. Relaxing them has the added benefit of opening up their eyes.
Time and time again, clients describe the result as looking” refreshed and rested”. The effect can be enhanced when combined with Botox on the frown area, as these muscles also pull the eyebrows down.
2. Plexr
As we mature, the thin skin of the eye area begins to lose elasticity. The skin appears crepey. To combat this, I advise my clients to consider skin tightening using PLEXR. This technology uses sublimation to tighten the uppermost layer of our skin. It is especially beneficial in reducing excess skin hanging over the eyelid.
In fact, the results of a PLEXR treatment are compatible with those of a surgical eyelid lift- without the scars, need for surgery and downtime.
3. Dermal fillers
In many cases, those” eye bags” and “dark circles” are actually due to a hollow that sits right under the eye: the tear trough. In youth, this space is minimal as the surrounding tissues provide support. But as the support is lost, the hollow gets bigger. It exacerbates the tissue above it, and eye bags appear. It also forms a shadow and makes the eye area appear darker. We replenish the lost volume in the mid-face and cheek to remedy this phenomenon by using dermal fillers.
We can also put a little dermal filler directly into the tear trough if necessary. This can almost immediately reduce the appearance of eye bags and darkness around the eyes.
So if your eye area is getting you down, please get in touch. I’m sure we can help.
