Dark Eye Circles, Periorbital Wrinkles, Under-Eye Bags, Under-Eye Hollowness and Creases
The skin around the eyes is much thinner than the rest of the face, making it prone to moisture loss, dryness, and aging signs¹. Stress worsens wrinkles and dark circles by disrupting blood flow and breaking down collagen².
Dark Eye Circles
Dark eye circles can be caused by genetics, aging, allergies, stress, and lack of sleep. Poor circulation and dilated blood vessels may also darken the under-eye area.
Q-Switched Laser Therapy: Uses a 1064 nm Nd:YAG laser to target melanin, helping to brighten the skin by breaking down excess pigment.
Vascular Laser Therapy: Focuses on abnormal blood vessels to reduce vascular-related dark circles while preserving surrounding skin.
Periorbital Wrinkles
Aging and lifestyle factors weaken collagen and elastin, causing the delicate skin around the eyes to lose firmness and elasticity, leading to visible wrinkles.
For effective treatment, identifying the skin layer responsible for wrinkles is important before choosing a suitable approach.
- Fraxel Dual Laser Program: Helps reduce static and fine lines by generating heat energy to stimulate collagen production, improving skin tone and texture.
- Skin Tightening Forma Program & Skin Tightening Titen FX Program: Use Radio Frequency (RF) technology to support skin tightening, minimize wrinkles, and enhance firmness around the eyes.
Under-Eye Bag Grooves
Eye bags form due to fluid retention and fat accumulation around the eyes. As we age, collagen and elastin decrease, leading to reduced skin firmness and sagging, which can cause puffy under-eye bags.
At the same time, hollow grooves may develop as bone density decreases and fat and muscle tissues weaken, making the area appear sunken. These changes can contribute to a tired and aged look.
Treatment Method
The Ultherapy Program is designed to help improve skin firmness around the eyes, where collagen and elastin naturally decrease over time. Using micro-focused ultrasound technology, it supports collagen and elastin production, which may help enhance skin tightness and reduce the appearance of sagging and under-eye bags.
The Skin Tightening Forma Program and Skin Tightening Titen FX Program use Radio Frequency (RF) technology to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles, support skin firmness around the eyes, promote collagen production, and enhance blood circulation. Another approach is the use of HA Filler Program, which may help smooth the skin around the eyes.
