Understanding the Delicate Eye Area
Supporting Brightness and Reducing Puffiness
The eye area is one of the most delicate regions of the face and often the first to show signs of ageing, fatigue, and stress. Concerns such as fine lines, dark circles, puffiness, and crepey texture usually reflect changes occurring beneath the surface of the skin rather than surface ageing alone.
At SkinAstute Clinic, we take a careful, conservative approach to the eye area. A comprehensive in-clinic assessment is essential to understand what is driving these concerns and to recommend safe, appropriate treatments.
Thinning Skin & Collagen Loss
The skin around the eyes is thinner and contains fewer oil glands, making it more prone to dehydration and collagen loss. As collagen production slows, the skin becomes less resilient, leading to fine lines and crepiness. Gradual support of skin quality is often the most effective approach for this delicate area.
Dark Circles & Discolouration
Under-eye darkness can develop due to pigmentation, visible blood vessels beneath thin skin, or shadowing caused by volume loss. These causes can appear similar but respond to different treatments. Identifying the underlying cause is essential before recommending treatment.
Puffiness & Fluid Retention
Puffiness around the eyes may be linked to lymphatic drainage, inflammation, allergies, lifestyle factors, or natural anatomy. Fluid retention can make the area appear swollen or tired, particularly in the morning. Supporting circulation and calming inflammation are key to improving this concern.
Targeted treatments to support eye area firmness, brightness and skin confidence.
Our eye area treatments focus on improving skin quality, supporting brightness, and addressing concerns such as puffiness and early ageing changes. All treatments are clinically tailored following assessment to ensure suitability for the delicate under-eye area.
Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy delivers targeted ingredients into the superficial layers of the skin to support hydration, circulation, and skin comfort. In the under-eye area, it is commonly used to help reduce puffiness where fluid retention or circulation is a contributing factor, following assessment.
PRP Treatments
PRP uses your body’s own growth factors to support skin repair and rejuvenation. It is commonly used to improve under-eye dullness, early ageing changes, and overall skin quality following assessment.
Antiwrinkle Injections
Anti-wrinkle injections are used selectively around the eye area to soften expression-related lines such as crow’s feet. Treatment is planned conservatively to maintain natural movement following assessment.
Radio Frequency
Radio frequency gently heats the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate collagen and elastin production. It is commonly used to support mild tightening and improve skin quality around the eye area following assessment.
Polynucleotides
Polynucleotides support skin repair, hydration, and resilience in fragile under-eye skin. They are commonly used to improve dark circles where thin skin contributes to a shadowed appearance, following assessment.
Skin Boosters
Skin boosters improve hydration and skin quality from within when used carefully in the under-eye area. They are commonly used to support dehydrated skin and fine lines in selected cases following assessment.
Dermal Fillers / Tear Trough
Dermal fillers may be used in carefully selected cases to restore volume where under-eye hollowing contributes to a tired or shadowed appearance. Treatment is only performed following detailed assessment to ensure suitability and natural results.
LED Light Therapy
LED light therapy uses specific wavelengths of light to calm inflammation and support skin healing around the eyes. It is commonly used to improve brightness and skin comfort and to support recovery following other treatments.
Skin Care
Professional skincare supports hydration, barrier function, and overall skin comfort in the delicate under-eye area. It is commonly used to improve dullness, dryness, and early skin changes following assessment.
