Eye Area Concerns

The eye area is one of the most vulnerable facial regions to deformation and a significant indicator of age. Structural or acquired issues with eyebrows and eyelashes can also be included in this category.

Periorbital Deformities

1. Eyebrow and Eyelash Sparsity
   This issue can be addressed with permanent makeup applications by experienced professionals using high-quality equipment and materials. Particularly for eyebrows, it is essential to stay within the natural brow area and use the hair stroke technique, even when there is minimal or no natural eyebrow hair.

2. Droopy Eyelids and Under-Eye Area
   Depending on the degree of skin deformation, various methods are used:

   • Toxin Application: If the drooping is not severe and can be improved by raising the brow, a toxin application may be used. This treatment does not target under-eye wrinkles but can smooth out crow's feet and prevent them from deepening.

   • Plasma Energy: Plasma energy helps renew tissues by controlled vaporization at the epidermis level, enhancing elasticity. It reduces wrinkles on the eyelids, under-eye areas, and crow's feet. Sessions can be repeated monthly, with a maximum of three treatments.

   • Fractional Laser: Given the thin skin around the eyes, standard fractional lasers are not suitable. Instead, milder laser settings are applied, with each session targeting approximately 500 to 1,000 points on the lid for improved skin texture and elasticity. A maximum of three monthly sessions is recommended.

   • Dermal Injection: This method involves injecting a blend of amino acids, proteins, and vitamins to restore lost skin elements and promote cellular activation. It is administered in sessions spaced 15 days apart, depending on the need.

   • Filler: Fillers can be used for deeper wrinkles in crow's feet or as an alternative for those who do not want toxin applications. Fillers are also suitable for patients with tear trough hollows causing a tired look. The materials used around the eyes should have a smaller molecular structure for optimal results.

   After a thorough examination, a treatment plan combining one or more of these methods is designed based on the skin's needs.

3. Sebaceous Glands Around the Eyes
   Common sebaceous issues in the eye area include:

   • Syringomas: Benign growths originating from sweat glands, often appearing from adolescence and more common in women. They are flesh-toned or yellowish, 1-3 mm in diameter, and primarily found around the eyes. Treatment options include erbium, carbon dioxide (CO2) lasers, or electro-surgery, usually requiring 1-3 sessions. Recurrence is possible, so treatments are conducted with this in mind.

   • Xanthelasma: Yellowish deposits more common on the upper eyelids, often related to lipid abnormalities. Treatment is for cosmetic purposes and includes laser, surgical excision, electro-surgery, or chemical peeling.

   • Milia: Superficial, white-yellow bumps commonly appearing around the eyes and cheeks. While topical vitamin A creams can help, they can also be removed using a sterile needle or treated with laser or electro-surgery.

4. Dark Circles Under the Eyes
   What are dark circles under the eyes?
   Dark circles refer to the area under the eyes appearing darker than usual.
   
   How can dark circles be reduced, and what are the treatment options?
   Dark circles are a common issue affecting people of all ages. They can make a person look tired, unhealthy, and older, which is why they are a concern for many individuals.
   
   What causes dark circles?
   Dark circles can be caused by increased pigmentation, more visible blood vessels under the thin skin, or the natural aging process. Other factors such as anemia, fatigue, and extended screen time can also contribute to this condition.
   
   How can I prevent dark circles?
   Maintaining good sleep hygiene, eating a balanced diet, protecting the skin from the sun, wearing sunglasses year-round, taking breaks from prolonged TV or computer use, applying cold compresses, placing cucumber slices on the eyes, sleeping with an elevated pillow, and using yellow-based concealers can all help. Creams containing K vitamin, C vitamin, retinol, arnica, antioxidants, peptides, growth factors, and brightening agents are also beneficial for under-eye care.
   
   What treatments are used for dark circles?
   Treatment options include under-eye creams, laser therapies, chemical peels, light fillers, plasma treatments, dermal injections, and microneedling techniques, all aimed at skin renewal.
