Eye area

What it is

The eye area is a very delicate region, where the skin has few sebaceous glands and a thin layer of subcutaneous tissue. That is why shadows, puffiness, fine lines and a feeling of dryness appear there.

Shadows and puffiness can have different causes, from anatomical structure to tiredness and allergies. We always start choosing a treatment by working out exactly what can be seen under the eye.

Where it comes from

• Thin skin. Visible vessels give a bluish or brown tint.
• Genetics. Facial structure and the arrangement of vessels are often inherited.
• Lack of sleep and stress. They deepen shadows and swelling.
• Water retention, allergies. They cause morning puffiness of the eyelids and the area under the eye.
• Loss of volume. With age, hollows form under the eyes and emphasise the shadows.

How to recognise it

• Dark circles under the eyes
• Puffy eyelids and bags
• Fine lines and dry skin
• A tired look despite enough sleep

How we solve it

Eye-area mesotherapy hydrates and nourishes the delicate skin. Platelet-rich plasma supports its regeneration and improves skin quality. Morpheus8 can help firm the skin, but we always choose it after an assessment of the skin's condition, because the eye area needs particular care.

At every visit we assess whether the problem is pigment, vessels, swelling or loss of volume. That decides whether a series of hydrating treatments is enough or a different approach is needed.

Treatments that help

When to book a consultation

If swelling appears suddenly, affects one side or is accompanied by pain, redness or worse vision, contact a doctor before any treatment.
