Under Eye Treatment

The skin around the eyes is the thinnest and most delicate on the entire face, which makes it especially prone to revealing fatigue and the early signs of ageing. As we get older, the natural fat pads that cushion the under-eye area begin to shrink and shift, while collagen production slows and the skin loses elasticity.

The result can be a combination of concerns: dark circles, hollowing or a sunken ‘tear trough’, fine lines, crepiness and puffiness. Genetics, lifestyle, dehydration and lack of sleep all play a part too, which is why so many people look permanently tired even when they feel well rested.

Because several different factors can contribute to under-eye concerns, the most effective treatment is one that is carefully matched to your individual anatomy — not a one-size-fits-all approach.

At your consultation we assess the underlying cause of your concern and recommend the most appropriate treatment, or combination of treatments, for a natural and lasting result. For hollowing and a defined tear trough, carefully placed tear-trough dermal filler can restore lost volume and instantly soften the shadow that creates dark circles.

Where the priority is skin quality — crepiness, fine lines and a dull, tired surface — bio-revitalising skin boosters such as Jalupro’s dedicated under-eye formula, or PRP (the ‘vampire’ treatment using your own growth factors), can stimulate collagen and visibly refresh the area over a course of sessions.

In many cases a tailored combination delivers the best outcome: restoring volume where it is needed while also improving the quality and resilience of the skin itself.

Under-eye treatment can address dark circles caused by shadowing and hollowing, sunken or tired-looking eyes, the tear-trough groove that runs beneath the lower lid, fine lines and crepey texture, and a generally fatigued, aged appearance.

It is important to note that not every type of dark circle or puffiness is suitable for injectable treatment — some are better managed in other ways. This is exactly why a thorough, honest assessment is essential, and why we will always tell you if a treatment is not right for you.

Every journey begins with a complimentary, no-pressure consultation, during which we examine the eye area, identify the underlying cause of your concern and design a tailored plan. We take particular care here, because the under-eye area is delicate and demands an experienced, conservative approach.

Treatment itself is quick, typically taking twenty to thirty minutes. We use ultra-fine needles or a blunt-tipped cannula where appropriate to maximise comfort and safety, and a numbing cream can be applied beforehand. Most clients find the experience very manageable.

Downtime is usually minimal, though the delicate under-eye skin can be prone to temporary swelling or bruising for a few days. With filler-based treatments you will see an immediate improvement that settles over one to two weeks; with collagen-stimulating treatments the refreshment builds gradually over a course of sessions. We always invite you back for a review to ensure you are delighted with your result.

Caring for the area after treatment helps you get the very best result. For the first 24 to 48 hours we advise keeping the area clean, avoiding makeup over the injection points, and steering clear of intense exercise, saunas, steam rooms and alcohol, all of which can increase swelling or bruising. Sleeping slightly elevated for the first night or two can also help reduce any puffiness.

A little bruising is more common around the eyes than elsewhere on the face simply because the skin is so fine, but it is easily concealed and typically fades within a few days. Applying a cool compress and avoiding rubbing the area supports a smooth, comfortable recovery.

Once settled, the difference can be transformative — brighter, smoother, more open-looking eyes that make your whole face appear more rested. We will discuss the longevity of your specific treatment and recommend a maintenance schedule so your refreshed look lasts.
