The skin around the eyes is delicate and prone to early signs of aging. Fine lines, under-eye wrinkles, and crow’s feet are common concerns caused by reduced collagen, loss of elasticity, and repetitive facial movements. These wrinkles can make you appear tired or older than you feel. At Skin Revision, we offer advanced, non-surgical treatments to rejuvenate this delicate area, restoring a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Here’s a closer look at the causes of under-eye wrinkles and the cutting-edge treatments we offer to address them.
Understanding Wrinkles Under and Around the Eyes
Wrinkles around the eyes are caused by a combination of intrinsic (natural aging) and extrinsic (environmental and lifestyle) factors:
- Loss of Collagen and Elastin
Collagen and elastin are vital for skin firmness and elasticity. As production declines with age, the skin becomes thinner and more prone to wrinkling. - Repetitive Movements
Frequent facial expressions, such as smiling or squinting, can create dynamic wrinkles over time, particularly around the eyes. - Dehydration and Dry Skin
The skin around the eyes lacks oil glands, making it more prone to dryness, which can accentuate fine lines and wrinkles. - Sun Damage
UV exposure breaks down collagen and elastin, accelerating the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. - Lifestyle Factors
Smoking, stress, and poor sleep habits can exacerbate aging signs, including under-eye wrinkles.
Effective Treatments for Under-Eye Wrinkles at Skin Revision
At Skin Revision, we offer a range of treatments tailored to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes. Each treatment is designed to address specific concerns, from reducing fine lines to restoring elasticity and hydration.
1. DMK Enzyme Therapy
DMK (Danne Montague-King) Enzyme Therapy works with the skin’s natural processes to improve its structure and function. It detoxifies, oxygenates, and stimulates collagen production, making it an excellent option for treating fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes.
- How It Works: DMK Enzyme Therapy encourages lymphatic drainage, improves circulation, and boosts collagen production for firmer, smoother skin.
- Benefits:
- Tightens and tones the skin around the eyes.
- Reduces puffiness and improves elasticity.
- Enhances overall skin health, preventing further aging.
2. Skin/Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate the top layers of skin, promoting cell turnover and stimulating collagen production. Tailored for the delicate eye area, mild peels can effectively reduce fine lines and improve skin texture.
- How It Works: A gentle chemical solution is applied to exfoliate the skin, revealing fresh, smoother layers underneath.
- Benefits:
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves skin tone and texture.
- Brightens the under-eye area, minimising dullness.
- Downtime: Minimal, with mild redness or peeling for a few days.
3. Jet Plasma
Jet Plasma D77 is a revolutionary treatment that uses ionized gas (plasma) to deliver energy deep into the skin, stimulating collagen and elastin production. This non-invasive option is ideal for tightening loose skin and smoothing wrinkles around the eyes.
- How It Works: Plasma energy stimulates cellular regeneration and tightens collagen fibres for an immediate lifting effect.
- Benefits:
- Non-invasive with no downtime.
- Firms and lifts sagging skin around the eyes.
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
- Comfort Level: Most clients describe the treatment as warm and comfortable.
4. Plaxel Plasma Pen
The Plaxel Plasma Pen uses fibroblast technology to precisely target wrinkles and sagging skin. By creating controlled micro-injuries, the treatment triggers the skin’s natural healing response, leading to collagen production and skin tightening.
- How It Works: The plasma pen delivers targeted energy to the skin’s surface, tightening the tissue and smoothing out wrinkles.
- Benefits:
- Lifts and tightens droopy eyelids and under-eye skin.
- Smooths out crow’s feet and fine lines.
- Long-lasting results as collagen production continues over weeks.
- Downtime: Mild redness or swelling for a few days, with results improving over time.
5. Polynucleotides
Polynucleotide-based treatments are at the forefront of skin rejuvenation. These natural DNA and RNA fragments repair damaged skin, improve hydration, and stimulate collagen production, making them ideal for the sensitive eye area.
- How It Works: Polynucleotides are injected into the skin, encouraging tissue repair, and improving elasticity.
- Benefits:
- Deeply hydrates and plumps the skin.
- Reduces fine lines and wrinkles.
- Improves skin tone and texture, brightening the under-eye area.
- Downtime: Minimal, with mild swelling or redness subsiding within 24–48 hours.
Combining Treatments for Optimal Results
For best results, treatments can be combined to address multiple concerns. For example:
- Pairing Jet Plasma with Polynucleotides can tighten sagging skin while deeply hydrating and rejuvenating the area.
- DMK Enzyme Therapy followed by a chemical peel can detoxify the skin and smooth fine lines simultaneously.
