Consulting Room: Have you seen a rise in demand for eye procedures?
Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai: Yes, especially for surgery and polynucleotides.
CR: Have you noticed a decline in filler for tear trough (or in general)?
SSD: Yes overall, patients are not keen on under-eye fillers and deep fillers
CR: What do you think about regenerative procedures for the under eye?
SSD: Very promising, innovative way to treat the periorbital area, however, we need more long-term results.
CR: You travel a lot and teach abroad are there any techniques or procedures you have heard about that you feel are exciting for the future in eye treatments?
SSD: There is a technique I saw in Korea that is extremely promising. It is a modification of current expensive and cumbersome surgical techniques and uses the prolapsed eye bag fat, which is prepared in a specific manner and then injected into the eyelid cheek junction. I am offering this surgical procedure and seeing incredible early results.
CR: What innovative tech is there in this space?
SSD: I believe newer energy-based technology (which reduces pain and downtime) combined with bio-regenerative techniques is exciting.
CR: Is it important to consider skincare, and do people forget about the eyes? Do you need a specific eye product in your regime, and what ingredients work best, in your opinion?
SSD: Skincare is vital, especially for protecting the eye area. My perfect 360 eye Illuminate is my hero product, and I have been using it since 2022, it tackles pigment, depuffs the eyes and fills lines and wrinkles. The Eye regenerate LED mask is an excellent rejuvenator to stimulate cellular repair and regeneration.
