Eye Rejuventation. Everything you need to know

Absolutely. For the vast majority of patients, non-surgical treatments are highly effective. We create a personalised plan that targets the root cause of your concern for the best results.

High-quality, medical-grade eye creams are vital for maintenance and prevention, but they cannot replace the structural correction achieved by in-office treatments. Think of creams as supporting skin health, hydration, and mild brightening, while professional treatments like lasers are necessary to restore lost volume, tighten significant laxity, or correct deep-set pigment issues. We always recommend a specialised skincare regime to protect and prolong the life of your rejuvenation results.

It is important to distinguish between these two concerns as it will determine which treatment is best for you.

• Puffy Eyes: This is often a temporary issue caused by fluid retention due to lack of sleep, high salt intake, or allergies. It typically appears worse in the morning and can be managed with lifestyle changes.
• Under-Eye Bags: This is a permanent structural change where the fat pads supporting the eyeball bulge forward due to the weakening of muscles and tissues with age. Dermatologists treat true bags using specialised Radiofrequency (RF) energy devices or, for severe cases, recommend a surgical consultation.

Yes, modern RF skin tightening (including devices like Thermage and RF Microneedling) is generally much safer for darker skin tones than traditional ablative lasers. RF energy uses electrical current and heat, which are less attracted to melanin than laser light. This significantly lowers the risk of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation or skin darkening, allowing us to safely and effectively firm and tighten the delicate under-eye area.

Loose or “crepey” skin is best treated with energy-based devices that target collagen production deep within the skin, providing a non-surgical lifting effect.

• Radiofrequency (RF) Microneedling is an excellent option. It combines tiny needles to create micro-channels with radiofrequency heat to stimulate significant collagen remodelling and skin tightening.
• Dedicated RF Devices can also deliver bulk heating to firm and lift the delicate skin of the upper and lower eyelids.

These treatments are preferred for skin laxity because they rebuild the skin’s structure from the inside out.
