Eye Saviours
We round up some of the best eye treatments and products
It’s never been easier to treat age-related concerns around the eye area. Whether it’s dark circles, hollowness, crow’s feet or droopy eyelids, there are a host of cutting-edge treatments and topical skincare options that offer effective solutions for the delicate periorbital region.
“The eye area is the aesthetic epicentre of the face”, says Dr Sabrina Shah-Desai, Oculoplastic Surgeon. “The skin around the eyes is as thin as tissue paper, and this delicate area is prone to various changes like wrinkles, discolouration and loss of elasticity. It is also one of the most demanding areas to work on because of its intricate functioning anatomy, and this is why it’s important to have a thorough assessment to ensure you are picking the right treatment to address your periorbital concern.”
EYE TREATMENTS
THE NON-SURGICAL EYE LIFT
SofWave EyeLyft utilises ultrasound energy to precisely heat the mid-dermal tissue at a depth of 1.5mm – where collagen is most abundant. The collagen regeneration process triggered by SofWave helps improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging skin around the eyes. When targeted along the brow bone, the treatment can produce an elevating effect, imparting a revitalised and refreshed look. www.sofwave.com
THE EYE REFRESHER
PhilArt Eye is a polynucleotide-based, injectable biostimulator that can work wonders to banish fine lines, crow’s feet, under-eye hollows and dark circles. Made with purified fragments of fish DNA, which closely resembles human DNA, PhilArt Eye has been specially designed for the periorbital area. It works by kick-starting the body’s own cell regeneration, leading to an improvement in skin quality around the eye area. It also restores elasticity and promotes hydration by stimulating new collagen production. Additionally, it can be used to address concerns such as eyebrow ptosis and drooping of the upper eyelids. www.cromapharma.com
THE EYE REJUVENATOR
AgeJET Plasma uses medical-grade nitrogen gas to create thermal injury deep within the skin. The handpiece generates controlled pulses of heat that precisely target collagen and stimulate its production. The procedure is painless and is ideal for the eye area since it preserves the outer layer of skin until fresh new skin forms. Expect regenerated skin with fewer lines and improved texture and tone after just one 15-minute session. www.curemedical.co.uk
