Advanced treatments for under-eye skin rejuvenation Say goodbye to dark circles and puffy eyes.
Tired, puffy eyes and dark circles can leave you looking fatigued and older than you feel. Our under-eye skincare treatments are designed to revitalise this delicate area, targeting common concerns and restoring a youthful, bright-eyed appearance.
The delicate skin around the eyes is often the first area to show signs of ageing. Fine lines, wrinkles, dark circles, and puffiness can make us look tired and older than we feel. While surgical options like blepharoplasty exist, many effective non-surgical treatments can rejuvenate the eye area without incisions or downtime.
Understanding the Delicate Eye Area
The skin around the eyes is exceptionally thin and delicate, making it more susceptible to damage and ageing. It has fewer oil glands than other facial areas, leading to dryness and fine lines. Additionally, constant muscle movement from blinking and expressions contributes to wrinkles like crow’s feet.
Therefore, treatments for this area must be gentle yet effective, utilizing specific techniques and products designed for this sensitive skin.
Non-Surgical Under-Eye Treatments
Here are some popular non-surgical options to address various under-eye concerns:
Skincare: A good skincare routine is fundamental for maintaining healthy and youthful-looking skin, especially around the eyes.
Look for eye creams with ingredients like:
- Hyaluronic acid: for deep hydration and plumping fine lines.
Retinol: to stimulate collagen production and reduce wrinkles.
Vitamin C: a potent antioxidant that brightens dark circles and protects against environmental damage.
Peptides: to improve skin elasticity and firmness.
Apply products gently using your ring finger to avoid pulling or stretching the skin.
Specialist Peels (Enerpeel): Enerpeel is a brand of chemical peels specifically designed to address different skin concerns, including those around the eyes.
- Enerpeel EL: This peel targets fine lines, wrinkles, and laxity around the eyes with a unique blend of acids that stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is safe for the delicate under-eye area and requires minimal downtime.
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy: PRP therapy utilizes your blood’s growth factors to stimulate collagen and elastin production, improving skin texture and tone and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
- A small amount of your blood is drawn, and the PRP is separated and injected into the under-eye area. This treatment promotes natural rejuvenation and can improve dark circles and hollowness.
Derma Eye: This injectable treatment is specifically designed for the delicate skin around the eyes. It comes in 5x3ml sterile vials and contains a powerful cocktail of ingredients with draining and anti-puffiness effects.
Key ingredients include:
- Acetyl hexapeptide-30: a peptide that helps to reduce muscle contractions, minimizing the appearance of wrinkles
- Arginine: an amino acid that promotes collagen production and improves skin elasticity.
- Artichoke Extract: helps to reduce puffiness and improve microcirculation.
- Caffeine constricts blood vessels, reducing the appearance of dark circles.
- Vitamin C: a potent antioxidant that brightens the skin and protects against damage.
- Escin: a natural extract from horse chestnut that helps to reduce inflammation and improve lymphatic drainage.
- Vitamin E: another powerful antioxidant that protects the skin and helps to retain moisture.
Derma Eye is injected into the under-eye area to improve microcirculation, reduce puffiness, and brighten dark circles.
Choosing the Right Treatment
The best treatment for you will depend on your individual concerns and skin type. A consultation with a qualified aesthetician or dermatologist is crucial to determine the most suitable option. They will assess your skin and recommend a personalized treatment plan to achieve your desired results.
Important Considerations:
- Sensitivity: Always inform your practitioner of any allergies or sensitivities.
- Downtime: While most non-surgical treatments have minimal downtime, some redness and swelling may occur.
- Results: Multiple sessions may be required to achieve optimal results, and maintenance treatments may be necessary.
Non-surgical under-eye treatments offer a safe and effective way to rejuvenate the delicate skin around the eyes without surgery.
By choosing the right treatment and practitioner, you can achieve a refreshed and youthful appearance.

FAQs about Under Eye Treatments
This FAQ section aims to provide comprehensive information on popular under-eye treatments such as skin boosters, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy, skincare products, and chemical peels. By understanding these options, you can make informed decisions about the best treatment for your needs and achieve a more refreshed and youthful look.
What are skin boosters, and how do they help with under-eye dark circles and hollows?
Skin boosters are a type of injectable treatment that involves the use of hyaluronic acid to hydrate and improve the quality of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body that retains moisture and adds volume. By injecting skin boosters into the under-eye area, the treatment can help plump the skin, reduce the appearance of hollows, and improve the skin’s overall texture and luminosity. This can reduce the appearance of dark circles, as the improved skin quality reflects light better and looks more rejuvenated.
How does Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy work for under-eye dark circles and hollows?
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy involves drawing a small amount of your blood, processing it to concentrate the platelets, and injecting the under-eye area. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate collagen production and tissue regeneration. When applied to the under-eye area, PRP can help to thicken the skin, improve elasticity, and reduce pigmentation, thereby diminishing the appearance of dark circles and hollows. The natural healing process promoted by PRP leads to gradual and long-lasting improvements.
What skincare products are effective for treating under-eye dark circles and hollows?
Effective skincare products for treating under-eye dark circles and hollows typically contain ingredients that target pigmentation, hydration, and skin firmness. Key ingredients to look for include:
- Vitamin C: Brightens the skin and reduces pigmentation.
- Retinol: Promotes collagen production and skin renewal.
- Peptides: Boost collagen and elastin to improve skin firmness.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Hydrates and plumps the skin, reducing the appearance of hollows.
- Caffeine: Reduces puffiness and improves circulation. Regular use of these products can help to lighten dark circles and make the under-eye area appear more youthful and refreshed.
Are chemical peels safe and effective for treating under-eye dark circles and hollows?
Chemical peels can be safe and effective for treating under-eye dark circles and hollows when performed by a qualified professional. These treatments involve the application of a chemical solution to exfoliate the outer layers of the skin, promoting cell turnover and revealing fresher, more even-toned skin. For the delicate under-eye area, milder peels such as those containing glycolic acid or lactic acid are typically used. These peels can help reduce pigmentation, improve skin texture, and stimulate collagen production. However, it is crucial to have a thorough consultation to ensure the peel is appropriate for your skin type and concerns.
