The skin around the eyes is very delicate and demanding, which is why our eyes are the first to reveal our age. Initially, shadows appear in the corners of the eyes, and over time, the effect is visible along the entire eye contour. As a result, our eyes look sad and tired, and the face appears older. Based on a detailed consultation, we select the most appropriate treatments for the eye area, individually tailored to the skin condition, taking into account the cause of the shadows formation.
THREE MAIN REASONS FOR UNDER-EYE SHADOWS FORMATION
- Vascular shadows are caused by visible small veins due to thin skin. The solution is to improve the quality and density of the skin through bio-revitalization. It also helps in treating fine wrinkles and skin laxity under the eyes. Home care continuation of treatments in the office includes using products containing vitamin K, anti-wrinkle substances, optically brightening and light-reflecting agents.
- Pigment-based shadows are caused by the accumulation of dark pigment deposits visible in the epidermis of the lower eyelid and below it. The solution includes brightening treatments and appropriately selected dermocosmetics to maintain the effects of medical procedures performed in the office.
- Shadows and fine wrinkles caused by the atrophy of subcutaneous fat tissue are true "shadows" related to light playing on atrophic areas under the lower eyelid. With age, the size of fat pads in these areas decreases, and cheek tissues sag, resulting in the formation of hollows. Unfavorable light reflection in these areas creates shadowed areas.
WHEN TO USE TREATMENTS FOR UNDER EYE DARK CIRCLES?
Dark circles under the eyes are a problem that can result from many different factors - from genetics, through fatigue and stress, to loss of skin volume and elasticity. If you notice that your skin under the eyes looks dull, tired, or tends to discoloration, it is worth considering professional treatments that will effectively reduce this problem. Treatments for dark circles under the eyes are recommended when:
- Dark circles under the eyes are visible even after rest - if the problem persists regardless of the amount of sleep, it may have a genetic basis or be related to the aging process.
- The skin around the eyes is thin and translucent - as we age, we lose collagen and fatty tissue, making blood vessels more visible, causing dark discoloration of the skin.
- The area under the eyes looks hollow - loss of skin volume leads to the formation of the so-called tear trough, which deepens the effect of a tired look.
- The circles have a purple, blue, or brown hue - different types of dark circles can result from disorders of microcirculation, accumulation of melanin, or excessive skin pigmentation.
- You tend to retain water and have puffiness - problems with microcirculation can lead to the accumulation of fluids under the eyes, which enhances the effect of dark circles and tired appearance.
- You want to improve the appearance of the skin under the eyes and give a fresh look to your eyes - treatments can not only brighten dark circles but also improve hydration, firmness, and overall condition of the skin around the eyes.
If any of these problems apply to you, it is worth consulting with an expert to choose the appropriate method to reduce dark circles and improve the appearance of the skin under the eyes.
EFFECTS OF TREATMENTS FOR UNDER EYE BAGS
Professional treatments for under-eye circles bring multidimensional benefits, not only reducing discoloration but also improving the condition and appearance of the delicate skin in this area. Properly selected therapy allows for rejuvenating the gaze, removing signs of fatigue, and restoring the freshness of the face.
- Visible brightening of under-eye circles - The main action of treatments focuses on reducing blueness and evening out the skin tone. Modern technologies such as laser therapy, brightening mesotherapy, or chemical peels help lighten the skin under the eyes, eliminating the "dark circles" effect.
- Smoothing fine lines and wrinkles through deep moisturization and nourishment of the skin - The thin skin around the eyes is particularly prone to moisture loss, leading to the formation of fine lines. Treatments using hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma, or vitamin cocktails deeply moisturize the skin, making it smooth and more elastic.
- Improving skin firmness and elasticity - Loss of collagen and elastin causes the skin around the eyes to become saggy and less resilient. Treatments stimulating the production of these components, such as micro-needling radiofrequency, microneedle mesotherapy, or fractional laser, improve skin tension, giving the gaze a youthful appearance.
- Overall improvement of skin condition and tone - The skin under the eyes often shows signs of fatigue, stress, and oxygen deficiency. Regenerative treatments improve microcirculation and tissue oxygenation, leading to an overall improvement in the healthy appearance of the skin - making it more radiant and uniform in color.
- Rejuvenating the appearance of the skin around the eyes - Thanks to lifting and regenerating treatments, the skin becomes firmer, translating into a younger look for the entire face. Reducing dark circles, smoothing fine lines, and improving the eye contour make the gaze regain freshness and radiance.
- Reducing the visibility of fatigue - Under-eye circles often make the face appear tired and dull. Treatments improving microcirculation and eliminating lymphatic stasis (e.g., lymphatic drainage, carboxytherapy) effectively reduce signs of fatigue, adding energy and radiance to the eyes.
- Restoring a radiant gaze - The ultimate result of the treatments is a naturally rested and illuminated gaze. The skin under the eyes regains a healthy, even tone, giving the face a fresh and vibrant look.
Thanks to modern methods of aesthetic medicine, it is possible to achieve natural and long-lasting effects without the need for invasive surgical procedures.
