Hollowing tear troughs, crepey skin, wrinkles, and dark circles are all common concerns that people want addressed. Luckily, there are some great treatment options out there. Read on to find out what we think are the best under eye treatments.
Treating crow’s feet (aka smile lines) or wrinkles around the eyes is easily done with antiwrinkle injections. We do so many of these treatments every week at EA Aesthetics- it’s a very popular cosmetic treatment in Cairns. A small dose of toxin is injected around the outside corners of the eyes into the obicularis oculi muscle. These tiny injections will smooth the creases and wrinkles for up to 3- 4 months!
Treating hollowing tear troughs with dermal filler injections can work very well for the right candidate. This is an advanced cosmetic injecting technique that we do here in Cairns at the clinic. The right type of dermal filler is essential because you don’t want any lumps or bumps to remain in this delicate area. Tear trough filler will do a great job of improving a hollowed tear trough to give you a refreshed look, and it can also improve dark circles.
Another great treatment for dark circles is a series of Hydroboosters. This is where we inject soft dermal filler superficially into the skin to hydrate the tissue. When the skin is more hydrated it will soften the appearance of dark circles quite dramatically. If your dark circles are caused by pigmentation, this would be better addressed with laser and lightening creams to fade the pigment.
Crepey, thin skin is well treated with a range of treatments. Our most popular cosmetic options here in the Cairns clinic include Hydroboosters, PRP, Frax laser, micro-needling, and eye creams. All of these modalities improve the quality of this delicate area. Over time the skin will be smoother, firmer, and less crinkled.
As well as these treatments there are other options including surgery for hooded eyes or severe cases of excess skin. Often a combination of treatments over the year will give the best results. It is essential that you have a thorough consultation first to determine your wants and needs, and to understand which treatments will help you achieve those goals. The delicate skin around the eyes ages differently to the rest of our face and responds well to tailored treatments to support it. Book your consultation with nurse Ted or nurse Wendy to discuss which treatments might be right for you.
