FAQ’s MESOTHERAPY UNDER-EYE

Why it is important to treat the under-eye skin?

The skin that we have on the eye contour is very thin and more delicate, it is a highly vascularized area that tends to retain liquids due to the limitation of drainage. Moreover, the inevitable loss of collagen means that wrinkles and fine lines appear first around the eyes. In addition, as collagen decreases, veins show through more prominently, increasing the advent of dark circles. And for many people, the skin under the eyes also fills more easily with fluid, which can lead to puffiness around the eyes.

The 5 most common under-eye problems

Fortunately, we can thwart early-onset eye aging with adequate treatments. Read on for five common problems:

• Crow’s Feet

Causes: Thin skin, diminished collagen

• Fine Lines

Causes: Loss of collagen, too much squinting from direct sun exposure, or excessive work in front of the computer.

Lifestyle Solutions: Avoid direct sun and wear sunglasses; if you do a lot of close work in front of the computer, take frequent rests—5-minute breaks every 30 minutes.

• Dark Circles

Cause: To determine the cause of your dark circles, gently stretch the skin under your eyes. If the area becomes darker, then the circles are probably due to thin skin and diminished collagen. If the color doesn’t change, UV rays causing hyperpigmentation are probably the problem. Blood that accumulates under the eyes, often due to poor circulation or lack of sleep, can be more obvious in fair or thin-skinned people, especially as fragile capillaries stretch and leak.

• Puffy Eyes

Cause: Stress, lack of sleep and hormones, as well as allergies that trigger the release of histamines in the body, which in turn inflame blood vessels and cause swelling.

• Sagging and Bags

Cause: Heredity and age are the major causes. With age, the ligaments underneath the eyes that hold back fatty tissue begin to weaken, and the tissue can fall forward to form under-eye bags. Yet another cause is the stillness of sleeping—your circulatory system moves more slowly during sleep, leaving excess fluid beneath the eyes. A stressed or sleep-deprived body can prevent your circulatory system from flushing out this extra fluid, even after you’ve been awake for a while.

What causes dark circles?

Dark circles underneath the eyes might appear for a number of reasons. As said, some of the factors that contribute to the presence of dark under-eye circles include fatigue, sun damage, eye strain, dehydration, allergies, genetics, and age.

These conditions can lead to the blood vessels underneath the eyes widening and cause the skin itself to become thinner and paler. This ultimately results in the blood vessels becoming more visible, creating the appearance of a darkened under-eye area. The efficacy of a specific treatment is completely dependent upon the underlying reason for the dark under-eye circles.

Some individuals have facial anatomy that consists of a crease between the upper cheek and the lower eyelid region. This crease is called a tear trough. Tear troughs can cast a shadow that creates the appearance of a darkened under-eye area, making one look tired or prematurely aged. A tear trough deformity such as this can be corrected with a simple, minimally invasive cosmetic treatment utilizing dermal fillers. Even if the dark under-eye circles are unrelated to the presence of a tear-through deformity, NAR LONDON is here to help. In our Harley Street clinic, cosmetic treatments such as Me line Dark Circles, Mesotherapy, PRF, or Nucelofill are often used to correct the appearance of dark under-eye circles, puffiness, and eye bags.

What is Mesotherapy?

As stated above, mesotherapy is a minimally invasive technique that uses injections of vitamins, amino acids, minerals, Hyaluronic Acid, enzymes, hormones, and plant extracts to the ‘mesoderm’-the middle layer of the skin-  to rejuvenate and also tighten skin. Moreover, this is a suitable treatment for dark circles and to treat pigmentation. in short, mesotherapy is a treatment that ensures that your skin gets the nutrition it needs. This delicate area is often forgotten and yet it is an important part of our face that requires care.

Mesotherapy can help with the following skin issues:

• wrinkles on the face and around the eyes
• fine lines
• smoker’s lines
• tired, dull skin
• dark circles
• Pigmentation

How is mesotherapy applied?

Mesotherapy is administered by an experienced and trained practitioner using a range of techniques to deliver the mesotherapy nutrients to the treated area.

What happens during treatment?

Generally, it takes around 30 minutes to administer the mesotherapy nutrients through several injections to the superficial skin layers.

Is Mesotherapy suitable for under-eyes?

Yes, Mesotherapy is suitable for treating the skin in many parts of the body, including underneath the eyes. Moreover, Mesotherapy can be combined with other treatments such as PRP or dermal fillers to enhance the results.

What results can I expect from under-eyes mesotherapy?

The delicate skin underneath your eyes will feel tighter and look healthier, brighter, and rejuvenated.

Results appear usually after a course of six treatments and increase over time with new collagen and elastin forming. The effects are long-lasting and typically last around 12 months. In some cases, you can see results after just one treatment, however, a course of up to 4-6 treatments at regular intervals is recommended for best results. Then we also advise having one or two annual top-up treatments to sustain the outcome underneath the eyes.

How long does mesotherapy last?

Like with any treatment, results can vary from person to person. In general, though, with a course of 4-6 treatments, you can expect results to last 12 to 18 months after the recommended course of treatment is completed.

Any Downtime with Under-eyes mesotherapy?

There is usually no downtime for this treatment. This means that you can safely and comfortably return to your daily routine immediately post-treatment with Mesotherapy. This said, the under-eyes area is very delicate and you might have slight bruises. However, this should dissipate and nothing to be concerned about.
