Under eyes puffiness is part of the normal ageing process.
With ageing the fat pad under the eyes tends to migrate downwards causing bulging and puffiness, through the very thin skin under the eyes.
Lack of sleep, smoking and fluid retention can exacerbate the appearance.
Dark circles under the eyes also tend to appear with ageing.
Their etiology is multifactorial, including genetic and ethnic factors, poor sleep, poor diet, allergies, hyperpigmentation, smoking, anaemia, unprotected sun exposure and thyroid disease.
This condition can be effectively improved with several medical aesthetic treatments that can help soften this appearance such as:
Mesotherapy, it consists of multiple microinjections of a cocktail containing Vitamins, Amino Acids, Hyaluronic acid, Enzymes, Hormones and plant extracts, in the mesoderm, the mid layer of the skin. All these substances stimulate the fibroblasts production of Collagen, the substance responsible for skin rejuvenation and repair. This results in a younger, smoother, plumper and brighter looking skin.
Polyucleotides, which are a sequesnce of nucleotides that, once injected, target the fibroblasts to produce more collagen and elastin. By doing so they aid skin regeneration and tissue repair, they also increaseskinh hydration and hyaluronic acid synthesis.
Exosomes, which are extracellular vescicles. This treatment aids tissue regeneration, softening fine lines and wrinkles, tightening loose and aged skin, hydrating the skin, improving skin tone and texture.
HIFU stands for High intensity focused ultrasound. HIFU reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, helps to lift and firm sagging skin as well as rejuvenates the overall appearance, by stimulating collagen production. It’s also very effective in reducing stubborn fat deposits in multiple areas. It’s a completely non invasive treatment and has zero downtime.
LED Phototherapy, it’s a fantastic non-invasive treatment that uses therapeutic light energy to trigger the skin natural rejuvenation and repair processes. It’s completely painless and has no downtime. Our skin has the ability to absorb light energy and uses it to stimulate and regulate essential cell processes. After phototherapy skin cells can renew up to 200 % faster. The result is an amazing flawless, glowing skin.
Microneedling with or without PRP, it stimulates the production of new Collagen creating a controlled injury to the skin in the form of microchannels. This results in a younger, smoother, plumper and brighter looking skin. It can be used on its own or in combination with Platelets Rich Plasma (PRP) or growth factors serums.
Dermal fillers are made out of Hyaluronic Acid, a substance naturally occurring in the body. They are used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles and to restore facial volume in multiple areas. Dermal fillers are a very effective and minimally invasive way of restoring volume loss, reshaping and contouring.
